Paris, February 2025 - When print meets knitwear, textiles tell a story.
Cotélac, a family-run French fashion house with a long tradition of craftsmanship, joins forces with Atelier St Eustache for a collaboration in which materials are transformed, patterns come to life and detail becomes signature.
Together, they give birth to three pairs of socks, in which print, the essence of Cotélac, marries the architectural finesse of knitwear according to Atelier St Eustache.
An ode to texture, color and movement, each piece invites you to feel the story it tells.
From its workshops in Ambérieu-en-Bugey, Cotélac fashions textiles with precision and artistic sensitivity, constantly exploring the unique pleats, crafted materials and exclusive prints that are its signature.
Atelier St Eustache, for its part, sublimates the sock as a veritable style accessory, playing on transparency, graphic lines and delicate knits to create pieces where detail makes all the difference.
This encounter between craftsmanship and modernity gives rise to a collection where every thread carries an intention, where every motif becomes a textile imprint.
Because clothing is an emotion to be worn, this capsule explores a variety of inspirations, from graphic heritages to the interplay of materials:
Jardin des Cimes - Deep blue and hanging flowers
Inspired by the frescoes of the Alchi temple, this pattern captures the poetry of a distant landscape where vegetation dances on pigments of indigo and madder. A meticulous, almost illustrative design, where every detail evokes the ornamental richness of a textile tale.
Les Carreaux - Vichy in motion
Inspired by the famous checks of the '60s, this design takes a more f loue and poetic approach to classic gingham, where the pattern reveals itself through the movement of the fabric. A play of transparency that gives a new fluidity to the pattern, like a sketch in perpetual evolution.
Alchi - Shadows and sparkles of mystical India
A tribute to the Alchi monastery, where ancient frescoes come to life in deep, contrasting hues. Between light and shadow, materials and pigments, this motif plays with contrasts and perspectives, capturing the serenity of a sacred landscape.
Cotélac and Atelier St Eustache share the same demand for perfect detail, the right gesture and meaningful textiles. This collaboration is an invitation to rediscover the elegance of pattern, to feel the texture under your fingers, to let the garment tell its story.
