Confection – French Expertise
LAS8 Paris is a fashion house located in the heart of the fashion capital. Each model must be synonymous with prestige and fashioning is an extremely delicate step, in order to ensure an exceptional quality. For this reason, the manufacturing of its collections is made exclusively in France. The natural individuality of each leather hide is celebrated rather than disguised and each garment is designed and made to show case the character of the skin from which it has been crafted. Thus, each piece is hand crafted by highly skilled professionals. All the garments are designed, cut and made in ateliers in Paris. From start to finish, an individual Fashioning is a step performed in constant collaboration with its specialised workshops in which we ensure a continuous quality control. The expertise of these workshops that work with famous fashion houses gives a true meaning to “Made in France”.
Production in the heart of commitments – Leather Selection
To ensure the quality and uniqueness of each piece, LAS8 Paris selects drastically the best leathers and furs in the world. The depth of colour, the touch, the shine and the nobility of each skin, no detail should escape the control of the fashion House in order to use only exclusive skins. Lining 100% silk and plunged lamb skins come exclusively from France, in collaboration with recognized professionals. Skins are drum dyed and LAS8 eschews any artificial finish, preferring instead that the skins retain their natural qualities and original handle. The exotic leathers and furs, that LAS8 Paris enhances in its creations come from the most serious tanneries in the industry and meet the Washington Convention
The LAS8 Paris fashion house has partnered with many reputable tanneries, to offer the finest leathers. For example, all its python leathers come from the Hermes tannery, which is able to customise each skin according to its requirements and demands of its customers. The crocodile leather comes from several tanneries and different farms, that it works with, according to the period of the year, in order to offer its customers the most unique skins. Agreements have been established with breeding farms in order to identify the finest specimens before the treatment of raw hides called the “crust”. Its stingray leathers come from Thailand and are available in three finishes (plain, soft, super soft) and various sizes.
All the plunged Lamb skins come from France. LAS8 Paris strives to offer its customers the best quality in terms of how the leather looks like and how it behaves once it has been sewed.
