Camille Darde was born into a family of makers, crafters, and vintage lovers. Growing up, the women in her life taught her to create with her hands, to revive the old to make it new and, just as importantly, to take joy in the art of making. While working at Givenchy’s haute couture atelier in Paris, Camille’s appreciation for the talents of artisans, and the luxurious quality found in the finest details only deepened. In 2010, she began teaching herself to make sustainable jewelry, using recycled metals. Further experiences with some of the biggest French fashion brands—specifically in lingerie—inspired her to experiment with lace, which led her to create a unique molding technique that is the basis for her bestselling Lace collection. After 13 years in New York, Camille with her husband and two daughters are relocating to France.
