How it all began

The founders of Petite France

Marriage and birth are the only two moments when humanity truly engages with the long term. A lifelong marriage is a unique and special moment, when women from previous generations know that this life milestone must be accompanied by tradition and the transmission of family values.

We are very proud to be able to reconstruct a part of this human history and to allow the future bride to rediscover this taste for authenticity, tradition, and rootedness in essential cultural values: commitment, life, and love.

A pinnacle of French culture, the wedding throw is the most beautiful gift from parents, grandparents, the godmother, and all those who know that life needs objects that endure through time to keep the best memories intact, a protection against the passage of time.

The wedding throw

For over a century, the wedding throw (also called the wedding vane), an emblem of nobility and marriage, had disappeared.
A testament to the transmission of heritage, to the special attention given to the daughter who becomes a woman, to family love and generational transmission, this product is the very essence of one of the deepest meanings of a couple's commitment.

Also called a wedding cloth, it was part of the wedding trousseau. The bride-to-be brought to her marriage all the linens that made up the daily life of the home.
Among these linens, one piece in particular played a central role: a fabric on which the history of the family, village, and region was embroidered, adorned with symbols to accompany the couple. Used as a bed throw or draped over the shoulders for winter comfort, or as a decoration on the back of a chair, this piece of fabric was also passed down from mother to daughter, bearing witness to their individual stories, to love, and to lineage.

Each piece required many hours of production and quality control, generations of preserved and transmitted savoir-faire, to make this piece unique, hand-made, of unparalleled quality, selecting the best cottons, the best hands in the most beautiful setting possible.
