The History of Atelier Brunette

The Atelier Brunette journal, a publisher of unique fabrics and haberdashery available in an exclusive colour chart of 20 bold and timeless colours. We are committed to creating patterns and selecting the most beautiful fabrics to give you ideas, offer inspiration and allow you to design and create your own hand-sewn wardrobe.

IT ALL BEGAN…

Through a meeting and love at first sight with India, a passion for textiles and patterns, an irresistible desire to create and offer a contemporary vision of sewing and more broadly the DIY world.

OUR FIRST STEPS!

2008

It all started with the creation of "Anna Ka Bazaar”, our online shop, followed by our Parisian store in the Bastille neighbourhood. An innovative catalog of exclusive printed fabrics, carefully selected for their originality and in small series which was adored by you!

2015

We arrived with our fabric rolls and our good humour at 16 rue Keller in Paris where we opened the doors to what would become the first Atelier Brunette boutique. More than a shop, it is also a workshop and a laboratory of ideas.

2021

The year we designed our first sewing pattern and the start of a collection with a singular, timeless style that complements our catalogue of well-made fabric collections and its coordinated haberdashery range.

Serving your ever more demanding and captivating sewing projects is one of our motivations!

Forever and always…

Everything is specially developed to create and instil a contemporary vision of the world of sewing and, more broadly, of the incomparable satisfaction that comes from doing-it-yourself, whatever the motivation: ecological, economic, therapeutic...

Today is a good day to sew.

Empower your personality.

Express yourself.

Sew your own style.

DID YOU KNOW?

Because it is essential for our team to pay particular attention to our environmental and social impact from the start, we are developing ranges of products and haberdashery made in France, Europe and India from certified manufacturers.

Our requirement in terms of product traceability is uncompromising and transcribed thanks to the absence of intermediaries in our production chain.

HOW?

By committing to produce certified Oeko Tex fabrics or EcoVero to guarantee traceability.

By upgrading our fabric remnants into pouches that we slip into your orders for free.

By choosing recyclable, reusable and FSC-certified packaging.

By supporting causes that are close to our heart. We occasionally donate a percentage of product sales to charities that we support through marketing operations such as October Rose.

By offering you the eco-packaging option to receive your beautiful order in its simplest form ♡
