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.

About Atèlette
Founded by self-taught designer and vintage purveyor Rodellee Bas, Atèlette was born from a lifelong reverence for history, art, and the beauty found in heirlooms. Rooted in old-world romance and a dedication to craftsmanship, the brand reflects a slower way of creating, where piece is a quiet love letter to the past, lovingly crafted with earth-conscious materials and vintage inspired details. Since its debut in 2022 with a small collection of dresses, Atèlette has quietly grown into a sustainable womenswear label known for poetic silhouettes, antique-inspired prints, and thoughtfully chosen materials. Soon, our world will expand beyond clothing to include antiquities and objects, both new and old, each chosen to complement the world of Atèlette.
