THE HISTORY OF ATELIER BRUNETTE

IT ALL STARTED...

Through an encounter and a love at first sight with India, a passion for materials and patterns, an irresistible desire to create and offer a contemporary vision of the world of sewing and more broadly the do-it-yourself movement.

The Atelier Brunette brand belongs as much to my team as to our customers.

This brand is an incredible family adventure and a true team effort!

This is not a project I could have carried out alone.

Annabelle KUMAR, the founder of Atelier Brunette.

By choosing recyclable, reusable and FSC certified packaging.
By supporting causes that are close to our hearts, to which we occasionally donate a percentage of our product sales, or which we support through marketing campaigns like Pink October.
By offering you the eco-packaging option so you can receive your lovely order in its simplest form ♡

TRUST FOR TRUST

Anna Ka Bazaar literally means "Anna's shop" in Hindi.

My first shop was already inspired by India.

After the birth of my two daughters, Atelier Brunette was born with the idea of ​​creating a sewing and design workshop to make beautiful things for my two Brunettes.

The desire to create a different and meaningful brand was then an obvious choice to extend this experience on a larger scale and offer it to all beginner or experienced seamstresses and all DIY enthusiasts.
