MATHIEU LE TRAON
Slow Luxury Artisan
After fifteen years in prestigious positions working for the internationalization of French higher education, I undertook to become a luxury handweaver to revive and share incomparable textile emotions.
Driven by my curiosity and my interest in style and clothing, I discovered with the weaver art a universe with a rich emotional and cultural heritage, which has been largely forgotten and almost lost.
I became a handweaver to re-enchant our intimate and immemorial relationship with textiles
I believe that fabrics can carry intense emotions.
I passionately believe that the weaver’s hand has the power to infuse a fabric with energy, with a vital principle that makes it a living object carrying a unique vibration.
Believing that in an increasingly globalized and standardized world, the true value of things lies more than ever in the matter and in the craft, I defend the vision of an authentic and personalized luxury, at the opposite of a standardized and anonymous luxury.

That is what I wanted to share by creating In Tweed We Trust and by hand crafting fabrics of high textile emotion woven from the most precious animal fibres.
