Petrusse develops in France and Europe using our Cashmere solution

 

The story of Petrusse is that of a woman, creative, artist, passionate about art, literature and ancient fabrics, Petrusse Reynen.

 

It all began in 1996 when Petrusse, of Dutch origin, antique dealer and gallery owner, made a trip to India. She then discovered there the world of weavers who worked on hand looms or still weaved by hand in the respect of ancestral traditions.

 

Fascinated by what she saw, she decided to create a first collection. It was then that the first Petrusse stoles were born and with them the fashion of the cashmere motif was reintroduced in France; The cashmere palmettes, a noble and high-end symbol are selected, stylized and reinterpreted by Petrusse to cover the shoulders of refined women.

 

Years passing, Petrusse multiplies the materials, the creations, the sources of inspirations to sell today his scarves to the women but also to the men, throughout the world

 

 

 

 

Cashmere fascinates Petrusse because it is representative of a country, a design, a shawl and a material. It is at the heart of many of his creations and at the origin of its inspiration.

 

 

 

Its logo is made up of botehs (from Hindi – buta – meaning “plant” or “tree”) symbolizing a stylized Mughal four – leaf clover.

 

 

 

Petrusse’s Private Collection: Inspiration for Every Day

She ties this place with an intimate relationship.
