The Grand Tour preview


I've been working for a while on a new collection inspired by the Grand Tour. I have always admired the intrepid nineteenth century character, and wondered how these adventurous ladies managed to travel around in all sorts of vehicles and endure perilous crossings while wearing a bustle and retaining perfect hair-dos! So, it is in their honour that this collection has been born...a set of gowns for traveling in style. Only two at a time I'm afraid... more soon!

1800's Navy Uniforms



This is a little advance about our newest collection of navy uniforms. Based upon real designs from the early 1800, we include in this set a variety of uniforms, and you could buy the epaulettes separately depending your own rank. You can choose too between trousers and breeches, depending the ocasion or style that you prefer.

All designed with the careful and high detailed that characterized our work.

Find it soon in your prefered Le Grenier shop!

Hussar Style, more than just uniforms.





Hussar was number of types of light cavalry originating in 14th century, but had its maximal development and played a prominent role as cavalry in the Napoleonic Wars (1796-1815). Most of the great European powers raised hussar regiments in this period.

These brave regiments formed by cavalrymen mounted on fast horses gain a big fame and popular recognition not only caused by their actions in the field of battle but the strong personality of these warriors, notoriously impetuos and a little unruly.

These facts, combined with the great look of their uniforms, prompted the hussar style enjoyed extraordinary popularity also among the dress uniforms designed to look good at balls and in the halls of the Court.
