Discover Clermont Collection. Discover the baroque again. Baroque backs to Le Grenier.

A stroll around town

We are pleased to introduce some of our most recent everyday wear for the ladies of the18th century.

I know we all enjoy balls and elegant days at the court but sometimes it's nice to dress down a bit while retaining our high sense of style, of course, and just go for a stroll in town, travel by carriage between chateaux or go riding...

With those occasions in mind we have designed some new outfits, all with different occasions in mind. A smart Redingote in green silk perfect for just going for a stroll or to go horse riding in style, it includes a side saddle riding skirt and a hat in complementary colour.

Two everyday outfits featuring a Caraco and matching Jupe: a flowery patterned one perfect to go to the market with a matching cotton bonnet and decorated with pretty ribbons and a black Caraco with a removable hood (two positions) ideal for those long carriage journeys. 

Also we have added a simple open robe in bright colours perfect for sunny mornings and garden strolls, just before Winter comes!

We hope you like them!

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!

Le Vicomte Collection get Versailles Label!

All is ready for the launching. Our new collection "Le Vicomte" has obtained the prestigious Versailles Label, that grant the historical accuracy of the designs. Look for it in Our shops in next days!

Imminent launching! Le Vicomte Collection.

We have the pleasure of communicated to our distinguished customers and friends that Le Grenier's ateliers are full of work finishing our latest collection, called "Le Vicomte". As you can imagine with this sugestive name, is a luxury collection of court suits and complements, that we hope to could offer to you in a few days. (And whose fabrics and example embroidered you can see in this advertisement)

Only we want to ask you a little patient, and share our happyness about this new launching that we hope will be to your taste.

We are moving

Big news! Le Grenier's main store is relocating to a new location. Due to unforeseen circumstances Le Grenier has to relocate so we have decided to move our main store to a purpose built location in the mainland.

The move has also given us the opportunity to tidy up a bit... things were getting a wee bit messy on our mainstore. Monsieur Beaumont has been hard at work with the main construction while I have been in charge of the finishing touches, and I have to say that things are looking pretty good!

Here's a sneak preview of how things are taking shape. Needless to say you will all be invited to our grand opening, we'll keep you posted.

...for the little ones

What is it they say...never work with animals and children! Oh well, our gorgeous little model behaved quite well considering the length of the shoot, after all she can look quite cute when she wants too. So, after a couple of tantrums and some mischievious tricks we managed to get a few shots to use for our latest creations.

Introducing 'Le Petit Grenier' a range of clothing specially created with the little ones in mind. You may know all of our clothes include a resize script to adjust to a great variety of sizes, making them suitable for children too. However after a special request by one of our clients, I have decided to create some items in childrens' sizes, starting with these two redingotes (they both include two riding skirts for side saddle and straddle riding). Although children in the 18th century wore pretty much adapted versions of adult clothing, in centuries to come the differences became progressively more distinguishable... expect more soon :)

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.
