DELPHINE

For Delphine, embroidery is above all a childhood memory. When she was a little girl, she used to secretly go and embroider with the little granny who lived in the apartment below her parents’ house. Her history with embroidery is inextricably linked with the notion of passing on a skill.

JL and Walayat

Jean-Louis and his partner Walayat share the same passion for ornamentation, and practice a skill that has become rare today: nail-making.

LEA

Her work is directly inspired by the mineral, animal and plant worlds. Exclusively for RAYONE, she has extended her know-how to the world of hats.

FLORENCE

Florence’s passion for Batik began 40 years ago when she came across an artist practicing this ancestral technique in her small Parisian apartment. Florence then began to travel back and forth to Indonesia, the cradle of Batik. It was these journeys that fed her inspiration and turned her passion into a profession.

AURELIA & MATHILDE

Aurélia is the founder of a magnificent plant dyeing workshop in the heart of Paris. Together with Mathilde, they are the dyers at the heart of this magnificent workshop/garden, working in a highly complementary way.
