Textile Treasures Reborn
Inspired by a shared passion for 18th-century folk art, Irish photographer, author and textile collector Ruth Ribeaucourt and Vincent Farelly & Jean-Baptiste Martin founders of the french brand Antoinette Poisson collaborated to bring you a collection infused with heritage and charm.
Ruth Ribeaucourt, a passionate collector sourced exquisite pieces from France and beyond for over a decade. Hand-painted toiles and printed fabrics, each imbued with rich history and diverse origins from Bordeaux to India, became the inspiration for this collection.
Ruth’s atelier & original antique fabrics archives which inspired this collaboration.
Together, they transformed these treasures into vibrant homeware and fashion pieces. They imagined charming quilts, pouches, and scarves. Exquisite wallpaper and fabrics by the metre allowing you to bring a touch of history into your space, while decorative objects like wedding chests and lampshades add a unique touch of storytelling.
This collaboration found its creative home in Vincent & Jean-Baptiste’s atelier in Port-Louis, Brittany. Their dedication to authenticity extends to every stitch, ensuring each piece is 100% made in France.
Discover the collection from early March 2024 in Paris, Brittany, or online. Let your imagination wander through the patterns and colors, and experience the everlasting beauty of 18th-century folk art reimagined for today.
