A Closer Look at Our Fabrics: Behind the Scenes of Aubade’s Craftsmanship
An Aubade piece is never the work of a single pair of hands. It is born from a long-standing relationship with exceptional craftspeople whose expertise cannot be replaced: lace-makers, embroiderers and manufacturers. Often the same artisans we have worked with for years, they create the magic of an Aubade piece long before it takes shape on a mannequin.
Today, these foundations continue to inspire every creation.
Calais Lace, Our Signature Fabric
Our reputation has been built around the finest Calais lace, specially designed for the Maison. We work with some of the world’s most talented lace-makers and embroiderers, whose delicacy and precision have shaped our collections from the very beginning.
Each motif is designed to sculpt the silhouette without adding weight: lace does not conceal, it reveals.
Embroidery and Guipure: The Signature of Detail
Beyond lace, our workshops craft embroidery and guipure with the same level of excellence. These refined finishes are what distinguish an Aubade piece at first glance: precise lines, flawless regularity and a result that remains perfectly consistent from one piece to another.
Nothing is left to chance, right down to the final stitch.
Silk, Our Favourite Fabric for Nightwear
In our nightwear collections, silk naturally takes centre stage. Its fluidity and natural freshness make it an incomparable fabric for pieces designed for the night and moments of intimacy: slips, kimonos and dressing gowns.
Italian Tulle: For Controlled Transparency
We also work with Italian tulle, renowned for its delicacy and structure. This fabric brings a subtle transparency to our creations—light yet never fragile—revealing the skin while maintaining a beautifully defined silhouette.
Fabrics That Evolve, A DNA That Remains Unchanged
Our Research & Development team works every day to lighten product compositions and prioritise ultra-soft, innovative and more responsible materials, without ever compromising on comfort or Aubade’s signature style. This is why, since 2021, recycled materials have been introduced into our lingerie and swimwear collections.
Behind every Aubade piece are a designer, a pattern maker, a lace-maker and a quality controller.
The fabric is never just a technical detail—it is the starting point of every creation.
Going Further: Jewellery, the Discreet Signature of Our Collections
On our briefs as well as our bras, a delicate jewel often highlights the centre front or the front of the brief: a charm, a ring or a metallic pendant.
This detail, unique to Aubade’s signature, transforms lingerie into a true piece of jewellery. Subtle yet instantly recognisable, it acts as a precious finishing touch that completes each creation.
