ATELIER SUPPAN
As the name itself suggests, Atelier Suppan is a true Parisian atelier run by a close-knit pair of textile artisans.
Well-known experts and suppliers of fabrics to some of the most prestigious Western brands, they use their leftover materials to create a very small production. Alex, the designer, personally oversees each piece, which bears its handwritten serial number.
Overdyeing, strategic closures with horn buttons or small silver hooks allow for flexibility in sizing and adjustments that alter the garments’ shapes.
Subtle gradations, carefully considered stitching along the shoulders and around the lapels, raw edges and asymmetries become the creative language of a label that, despite its small scale and understated approach, remains respectful and does not wish to see prices displayed on its clients’ online platforms.
That is how the brand has found its way into some of the world’s most important boutiques and cultivated a loyal, discerning following.
