Lemaire is a French ready-to-wear house based in Paris. Christophe Lemaire started the label in 1991 and has run it since 2014 with Sarah-Linh Tran, his co-creative director and partner. He learned the discipline of a great house at Hermès, where he led womenswear from 2010 to 2014, and he carried that restraint into his own work. The result is quiet, functional minimalism: clothes designed to be lived in, layered, and kept.

About Lemaire
The house is known for a soft, slightly oversized line, a deeply worked palette of tobacco, chocolate, chalk, and slate, and an often unisex sensibility. Lemaire accessories, in particular the Croissant bag, turned the label into a cult name, but the ready-to-wear is where the philosophy is clearest. A Lemaire wardrobe is a small set of considered pieces that do a great deal of work.
The Luxury Handbags Editor’s guide to styling Lemaire
Treat Lemaire as a base layer for a whole wardrobe rather than a set of statement pieces. Build tonally, in one family of browns and greys, and let the cut and the cloth carry the look. A twisted shirt over a relaxed trouser with a flat leather sandal is the off-duty uniform. A fine knit under an unstructured coat takes the same idea into winter. Play with proportion, a fuller leg against something close to the body, and keep accessories low and quiet. The clothes are designed to move, so let them.
Lemaire sizing and fit
Lemaire is cut in French sizing and runs generous, with a relaxed line that sits away from the body. If you want a closer fit, size down. Use the guide below to convert.
