Prologue
The Prologue |
Our Prologue pieces includes our first pieces released under the Atelette name (the spelling is slightly different that newer releases). These designs were created in collaboration with a design firm based in Los Angeles who helped us in our first steps of creating our own line from sketch, fitting, fabric sourcing, and factory negotiations.

For women who move gently, with intention. Romantic, grounding pieces made to be lived in.
Some clothes are made to be seen.
Ours are made to be lived in.
At Atèlette, we release pieces slowly and intentionally. Designed to be worn often and kept for years, these are not trend-led garments but companions for a life well lived — from slow, unhurried mornings to quiet evenings and the journeys that shape us in between. Our clothes are meant to be inhabited, softening with time and wear, holding memory in every thread until they become unmistakably yours. Atèlette is not about having more, but discernment. Atèlette is for women who dress intuitively, drawn to ease and romance, and who choose to move through the world gently, with intention.
