Cotélac know-how
Pleats, prints, materials: textile art according to Cotélac
Since its inception, Cotélac has developed a unique textile expertise, combining innovation and tradition. Two stylistic signatures forge its identity: pleating and exclusive prints. These techniques, mastered in its own workshops, make each piece unique.
THE PLEATED
Pleating is more than a technique: it's a textile style. Crafted on antique presses, it gives the fabric a vibrant, almost sculptural structure. At Cotélac, this work is carried out in the company's Ambérieu-en-Bugey workshops. It requires precision, patience, and passion. Each pleated garment bears the mark of human gestures, becoming a unique piece.
THE PRINT
Each season, Cotélac creates unique prints, either hand-drawn or reworked from photographs. Using sublimation, these images come to life on clothing: stylized wildlife, patterns inspired by ancient tales, dreamlike landscapes, etc. These prints are produced in short runs to preserve their rare and precious character.
At Cotélac, expertise is a commitment. A way of making materials, colors, and gestures speak with precision, sincerity, and freedom.
