Maison Lesage

Maison Lesage is a Paris haute couture embroidery house. Its roots go back to the embroiderer Michonet, whose workshop dates from 1858; Albert and Marie-Louise Lesage took it over in 1924 as Lesage & Cie. Their son François Lesage led it from 1949 and worked with couturiers including Elsa Schiaparelli, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Pierre Balmain and Yves Saint Laurent. François Lesage founded the École Lesage embroidery school in 1992. The house joined Chanel's Métiers d'art in 2002 and is a resident of le19M in Paris.
