The Métiers d’art bring together several hundred embroiderers, feather workers, paruriers, goldsmiths, pleaters, shoemakers, hatters, milliners, glove makers, tanners, leatherworkers, as well as silk and cashmere experts based in France, Italy, Spain and Scotland. As early as 1985, CHANEL began the process of acquiring these métiers, as a means to ensure their durability, to allow for creative research, to support their development and to train new artisans.
