Cotélac expertise
Pleats, prints, fabrics: textile art according to Cotélac
Since its creation, Cotélac has developed unique textile expertise, combining innovation and tradition. Two stylistic signatures forge its identity: pleats and exclusive prints. These techniques, mastered in its own workshops, make each piece unique.
THE PLEAT
Pleating is more than just a technique: it is a form of textile expression. Worked on antique presses, it gives the fabric a lively, almost sculptural structure. At Cotélac, this work is carried out in Ambérieu-en-Bugey, in the company's own workshops. It requires precision, patience, and passion. Each pleated garment bears the mark of human craftsmanship, making it a unique piece.
THE PRINT
Each season, Cotélac creates unique prints, either hand-drawn or based on reworked photographs. Thanks to sublimation, these images come to life on the garments: stylized wildlife, motifs inspired by ancient tales, dreamlike landscapes... These prints are produced in short runs to preserve their rare and precious character.
SUBLIMATION
Cotelac is one of the few companies to possess the machinery needed to enhance knitwear in such a unique way. Even more exceptional: we have the ability to print directly onto finished garments, creating random graphic effects that make each piece truly unique. Each piece passes one by one through the hands of our specialized operators who embody the House's expertise, fully embodying the House's DNA.
At Cotélac, expertise is a commitment. It is a way of expressing materials, colors, and movements with precision, sincerity, and freedom.
