Coup De Grâce, translates as “stroke of grace” and is emblematic of both our style of clothing and our company ethos.
FOUNDER’S NOTE
Our world is always changing and we the current stakeholders can shape what we believe the future should look like. I choose to shape a small part of that future by furthering the heritage of artisanal clothing. I look to the past in an attempt not to recreate it, but to inform the way forward. I believe there is inherent beauty all around us. I see it in nature and its derivatives, in humanity’s creative pursuits, and our daily labors for a better tomorrow. Not only is the work of art beautiful, but the work of art is also beautiful. I am an artisan to my core, and have never been absent the desire to create something. A third of my life has been invested in the development of this pursuit, and that development will remain perpetual throughout my life.
