Centuries of Elegance
From the legendary coats of Brittany and royal coronations to the grand salons of Paris, discover the origins of our Maison.
In royal heraldry, ermine (ermine fur with black tail tips) and vair (the silver-grey squirrel fur) were the supreme symbols of sovereignty, dignity, and purity, reserved exclusively for the coronation cloaks of monarchs.
As Paris established itself as the global capital of haute couture, master furriers on Rue de la Paix and Place Vendôme transformed protective winter garments into fluid works of architectural art.
Today, L’Hermine et le Vair bridges this majestic history with contemporary silhouettes, serving clients who treasure timeless beauty and artisanal mastery.
