A new garment born from a 100-year-old fabric sample book

At Prquel, we are inspired by a 100-year-old Jacquard weaving sample book that remains in France, and we are creating original fabrics to revive its beautiful designs in the modern era.

The fabrics crafted by artisans of that era were supported by meticulous techniques that spared no effort or time, achieving a level of perfection that is now difficult to replicate. We pay homage to that spirit, collaborating with Japanese master craftsmen to approach every detail—from the twisting of the threads to dyeing and the final texture—without compromise.

Using carefully selected cotton from the region, we have created fabrics that blend traditional techniques with modern sensibilities, resulting in something both nostalgic and new. The result is a truly special piece.  

Please take the time to feel the craftsmanship passed down through the ages and the warmth that resides within it.
