History

Christophe Lemaire founded his namesake label in 1991. After tenures as creative director at Lacoste and Hermès, he refocused on the brand alongside co-creative director Sarah-Linh Tran. Lemaire occupies a significant role in fashion history for bridging the gap between luxury craftsmanship and functional ready-to-wear. The brand gained cultural prominence through its long-standing collaboration with Uniqlo and the popularization of its signature leather goods, such as the Croissant bag.
