Petrusse x Grand Palais: Scarves as Art Medium

other · 2026-04-22

French maison Petrusse has collaborated with the Grand Palais to produce a scarf collection that treats textile as a direct extension of art. Under artistic director Florence Lafragette, the collection "Sous le ciel de Paris" includes silk scarves, wool stoles, and handcrafted accessories such as scrunchies (€45) and fans (€85) made from offcuts. The designs reinterpret the light and architecture of the Grand Palais's nave. Petrusse, founded between Paris and the Bordeaux vineyards, operates from Atelier du Château Mauriac, a former Nobel laureate's residence. The maison emphasizes French craftsmanship and sustainable production. This collaboration positions the scarf as a cultural object rather than a mere accessory, reflecting a broader trend of fashion houses acting as cultural players.
