Marine Lulin Duchénoy

Marine Duchénoy

Marine was born and brought up in the world of hand embroidery and spent her childhood wandering around the workshops. She forged her expertise and creative, rigorous and pragmatic mindset over more than ten years spent working as architectural project manager with premium luxury brands. With the same innate devotion to beauty and demanding standards as Pascale, in 2021 Marine decided to join Maison Duchénoy to continue to shape its future.

Pascale Duchénoy

Pascale Duchénoy

Pascale, the great-granddaughter of the company’s founder, practically grew up in the workshop.  It was therefore only natural that, after studying law, she decided to take over from her father at the head of the family business. A clearly stated preference for excellence and aesthetic beauty, an enlightened vision of the profession together with boundless curiosity have helped Pascale to move Maison Duchénoy into new segments and markets throughout her many years at the helm.

Aurélien Duchénoy

Aurélien Duchénoy

Aurélien has remained true to tradition by spending his earliest years on the workshop floor. As someone who is creative by nature and founded a start-up with a social objective, Aurélien also decided to join the family business, bringing his perfectionism and an "out of the box" perspective to Maison Duchénoy’s development.

archives

Maison Duchénoy has its own archives supplemented by those acquired from now extinct workshops which thereby attentively passed on their history. 

With more than 15,000 patterns and thousands of samples, this heritage is augmented every day with new patterns made to measure for its customers.

Pricked tracing paper, dye tests, prototypes, collections of antique patterns and embroidered pieces from the eighteenth to twentieth century make up a genuine repository of techniques and know-how which Maison Duchénoy protects and makes available for new projects.

Labellisation

In 2009, Maison Duchénoy was awarded the French State's "Living Heritage Company" label, highlighting its know-how and excellence in the embroidery field. Supported by the work and passion of its workshops, every day Maison Duchénoy reinvents its ancestral techniques to offer its customers original and bespoke designs.
