Founded in 2004 by French architect and designer Denis Colomb with his wife, photographer Erica Lennard, denis colomb LIFESTYLE is a collection of ultra luxurious hadwoven cashmere fashion and home accessories of impeccable quality and craftsmanship. This lifestyle collection of blankets, throws, scares, shawls and knitwear is guided by designer Denis Colomb's philosophy of comfort and sensuality.
Collaborating with the finest craftsmen in Nepal who weave the threads of the rarest goals (a "down" harvested by combing the animals in April and May to obtain the finest cashmere fibers, which also guarantees maximum warmth) the fleece is delivered in the form of downy clouds, hand spun by women working at home, then brought to several local workshops where artisans weave and finish each piece by hand. Considered a master colorist, Denis Colomb redefines his palette each season offering over 64 exquisite colors as well as a range of very natural organic hues. His eye for the nuance of a color is reflected in the many months that it can take to deveop ust the right palette.
According to Erica, who is Denis' business partner, "our goal is always o have th ebest of the best... like our 8 ply Polo blanket trimmed in suede or our oversized Nomad shawl with its fine Mongolian herringbone weave, because in this era of mechanization it is a luxury to be able to continue to produce beautiful hand made products." But while denis columb LIFESTLE is dedicated to promoting and helping to preserve the finest traditions of quality and workmanship, the partners are also striving in their small way to bring financial aid to the country of Nepal, specifically by working with fair trade organizations as well as helping to fund a privately run orphanage.
Inspired by their travels and with the hope of bringing together a network of talented friends, their goal is to grow the company to include a full home furnishing line while they continue to evolve their fashion offerings. |
