A brand that exudes luxury without any trace of gaudiness, Lemaire is helmed by Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran. Originally founded by Christophe Lemaire in 1992, the designer enjoyed success as the creative director of Lacoste and chief womenswear designer at Hermes before returning to his namesake label. Lemaire offers a sophisticated Parisian style composed of fine materials. Taking inspiration from classic references like uniforms, military wear and tailoring, Lemaire inserts a sturdy functionality into all its pieces. Lemaire’s Croissant bag has become a phenomenon in its own right, and the brand’s accessories remain especially popular.
