Technology is more and more present in fashion, but nothing can beat the warm, tingly feeling of hand-made objects. Specially if they are eye-candy. Specially if they are unique. Specially if they are highly-collectible! We are talking about Macon & Lesquoy’s hand embroidered jewellery.

Technology is more and more present in fashion, but nothing can beat the warm, tingly feeling of hand-made objects. Specially if they are eye-candy. Specially if they are unique. Specially if they are highly-collectible! We are talking about Macon & Lesquoy’s hand embroidered jewellery.

This eye-catcher accessory, inspired by the precision and quality of military embroidery, has made its way into fashion magazines and wish-lists worldwide.

The story of these creations is the story of the union of the daughters of an antique dealer and an astrophysicist. Designers Marie Macon and Anne-Laure like telling stories, and this is what they have been doing through their collections of accessories since they founded the house Macon & Lesquoy in 2009.

One perfect example is this delicately embroidered shark and bait pin constructed in collaboration with French surf shop WAIT. It obviously tells the story of every surfer’s worse nightmare…

The two designers draw the motifs, choose the materials, precise the finishing touches…and they even have time wear a new hat every day. They draw their inspiration from everywhere and else are to create these off the wall yet always elegant accessories that add a touch of humor and luxury to any outfit.

You can find find Macon & Lesquoy’s superb accessories at The Conran Shop (London), Colette and Merci (Paris), in the MoMA gift shop (New York), among others. And of course in its online shop: http://www.maconetlesquoy.com/shop/en.
