The Living Art of Antique Linen

« Each bridal trousseau holds the time, patience, and devotion of the hands that embroidered it. Our vocation is to perpetuate its grace. »

A Passion for Textile Heritage

Officially registered on September 11, 2005 in the French National Business Register under the corporate form SARL T TRA (SIREN: 483 847 265), the maison was born from Amanda Saylett's singular artistic vision.

Fascinated by the extraordinary durability and tactile sensuality of linen woven on 19th-century French wooden looms, Amanda made the bold commitment to genuinely circular artisanal luxury: generating zero synthetic waste, but safeguarding, restoring, and giving new life to forgotten heirloom trousseaux.

Atelier Secrets

The Rebirth of Forgotten Weaves

Each bespoke piece requires between 12 and 28 hours of meticulous needlework in our Vitry-sur-Seine workshop.

1

Sourcing & Expertise

We journey across French provinces seeking bridal trousseaux preserved in family armoires. Only the densest, most regular weaves are selected.

2

Marseille Vegetable Bath

Linens are cleansed gently with traditional Marseille vegetable soap without chlorine or chemical additives, then dried under the open sky to awaken natural fiber suppleness.

3

Patterning & Mother-of-Pearl

Individual patterning that honors the placement of antique monograms, hand-finished French seams, and carved natural mother-of-pearl buttons.
