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.

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.

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.

Cotelac est l’une des rares maisons à posséder les machines permettant de sublimer la maille de manière aussi singulière. Encore plus exceptionnel : nous avons la capacité d’imprimer directement sur des vêtements finis, créant ainsi des effets graphiques aléatoires qui rendent chaque pièce véritablement unique.
Chaque pièce passe une par une entre les mains de nos opérateurs spécialisés qui réalisent le savoir-faire de la Maison, incarnant pleinement l’ADN de la maison.

At Cotélac, expertise is a commitment. A way of making materials, colors, and gestures speak with precision, sincerity, and freedom.
