Atelier St Eustache

THE STORY OF A TRIP 

The Atelier St Eustache brand took its roots in the heart of a journey undertaken by its creator, Violette, during a year of architectural studies in Tokyo.
For years, this country has been recognized as a true fashion institution in its own right. Oscillating between tradition and Japanese pop culture, Japanese creativity is expressed and discovered on the cobblestones of neighborhoods like Shibuya or Harajuku. Beyond an aesthetic marker, in this country clothing is used as a tool to distinguish oneself in society, to represent a sense of belonging to an identity. Tokyo's fashion thus claims itself through colorful, original and sometimes even eccentric outfits. 
But what caught Violette's eye in this eclectic universe was the Japanese peculiarity of nesting aesthetics and differentiation in accessories, and in particular: their socks. Thus, as soon as she returned to France, Violette launched into the adventure and created her own brand of transparent socks, in order to dress women's feet with her creativity, and give back its letters of nobility to an accessory neglected in France.
  

INSPIRED DESIGNS 

To create the designs of our great socks, Violette draws her inspiration from the world around her, its history and journey. Originally from the Lyon region, trained in Applied Arts and with a degree in Architecture, she has been enriched by the cultures of the world by living in London for several years, Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris ... and continues to draw inspiration from her daily life by getting intoxicated by everything she experiences.

This is why our collections of transparent socks are minimal, pure, architectural. They will find their patterns in the urbanism of a city, their graphics in the lines of buildings, their colors in the typical dishes discovered during a trip, or in the surrounding nature ... 

In short, we want our inspired and inspiring socks for their future owners.

 

ITALIAN MANUFACTURING 

Atelier St Eustache has since its beginnings had the quality of its products as a fundamental value. We work on our great socks in order to offer you a top-of-the-range, comfortable, solid product... and which fills you with wonder on a daily basis, nothing but that ! 

We are a company on a human scale, so it is natural that we collaborate with companies that share our values. And we have paid particular attention to the manufacture of our socks. It is after a year of research in Europe that we found the dream factory, and chose to install part of Atelier St Eustache's suitcases in Italy.

At the helm of production, a family-run, human-sized factory with unique know-how, which has been manufacturing for the top-of-the-range world for several generations: le pied quoi!

 

THE QUALITY OF A PRODUCT

Atelier St Eustache has since its beginnings had the quality of its products as a fundamental value. We work on our great socks in order to offer you a top-of-the-range, comfortable, solid product... and which fills you with wonder on a daily basis, nothing but that ! One size of the sock What is a good pair of transparent socks?  First of all, it is a transparent thread thick enough so that it will last over time, but also silky so that it is pleasant on the skin. Then it's a reinforcement at the toe and heel to prevent rubbing, and sometimes even a sole for even more comfort. And finally, it's a good elastic band : tight enough to fit the ankle, but not too tight either so as not to cut off circulation.

 

FROM THREAD TO NEEDLE 

We only work with yarns made in Italy, and OEKO-TEX certified yarns. The main materials used are polyamide for the transparent thread, viscose and polyamide for the patterns on the socks, and polyamide or cotton for the toe and heel. Our choices of yarns are mainly made by the technical constraint and the complexity of manufacturing transparent socks.
