Empreinte Where To Buy

Empreinte has one of the most interesting histories of any lingerie designer we know of. They were originally founded in Brest, which is the Western most city in France. It is often said that it is one of the hidden gems of Brittany. Why exactly? For its clothing designers. Well, that too. Brest is a beautiful city with lots of tourist attractions and is full to the brim with culture. It has a few notable names in the world of design too, but Empreinte really put it on the map for lingerie.

Empreinte Lingerie is one of the few names in the lingerie and clothing industry that is not located in Paris. Yet this has not stopped them from standing out among the titans of the industry in the capital. In fact, this is often seen by many designers in a similar situation as a great boon to them. By living and designing their items in the much less busy and far more picturesque rural landscape and surrounded by a smaller city, has invigorated Empreinte.

They are much more creative thanks to not being exposed to too many big fashion names, which can make you too derivative if you are surrounded by the same designers who are all taking a cue from each other's work. And what is more, some of the world's most famous artists and creative types have gone to the calm and quiet of the country to find inspiration and a place to create the best work of their lives. And being near the sea is always a great source of inspiration for a swimwear designer too. Of course, Brest is not too far from Paris relatively speaking. This means they are steeped in and have access to the talent present in the world's most beautiful and fashionable city.

They can call upon friends and associates to work together in partnerships. And they can easily visit trade shows that provide on-going inspiration. Really, being where they are is simply a wonderful source of inspiration and seclusion at the same time. It really is the best of both worlds. In more recent years, Empreinte has left the confines of France alone.

They have begun selling all over Europe and North America. They still favour the boutique approach. Both in partnership and design. That means they put their items in the hands of smaller companies, both online and in regular stores. It also means that their range is smaller and carefully designed so they go for quality over quantity. Nowadays, they are all over the world with their stunning products and can be found by any lingerie lover easily if you know where to look. Check the Where To Buy page for more on this.
