In its third season since debut, it's become a sought-after brand by buyers!
Monsieur Lacenaire, a men's knitwear brand handled by retailers such as Beams, Edifice, and Tomorrowland in Tokyo, is also supported by buyers from renowned overseas select shops for its high quality.
Female designer Garance Broca, after handling knitwear for luxury houses like Hermès and Balmain, went independent. She debuted with her Autumn/Winter collection last year, presenting knitwear that, while using high-quality wool and alpaca, is brimming with design flair. While respecting the classic appeal of men's clothing, she injects uniqueness through color schemes, paneling, and knit textures. A visit to the brand's website will likely illuminate this further.
Monsieur Lacenaire's production involves discussions with on-site artisans at a factory in Clermont-Ferrand, central France, and is also manufactured in a facility that handles Hermès products, known for its traditional techniques. This knitwear, which elevates men's chic with her unique sensibility into a 'classic with a playful touch,' is something one would want to try on at least once.
