About The Creators

Pop-Culture Style

Created in 2009 by Marie Macon and Anne-Laure Lesquoy, the French brand bearing both their names creates embroidered accessories.

Keen on elegance and details, the two designers love outstanding skills and know how to find the best craftspeople..

Over the years, Macon & Lesquoy's collections have been tinted by the trips they have made together, which inspire them as much as they transport them.

From Russia to Japan, from Rwanda to Detroit and Pondichery, the colours and encounters give birth to beautiful ideas. Unusual, funny, sometimes whimsical and always poetic, the look Marie and Anne-Laure take at our world blends the beautiful and the cool for a unique pop-culture style.

Intricate and Delicate

Cannetilla Embroidery

Macon & Lesquoy's brooches are made using a special technique. The Cannetilla technique requires a special metal thread to be very finely wound in a spiral, cut at the desired length, and then embroidered like beads. This Cannetilla, or bullion thread, is made in Pakistan, where the metal industry is still flourishing.In Pakistan, the craftspeople are highly qualified. Macon & Lesquoy decided to start their own workshop with experienced foreman Muhmmad, to benefit from the outstanding skills available. Sixty embroiderers work there exclusively, full time, under social and safety conditions imposed, enforced and regularly monitored by the two designers.

Vibrant and Detailed

Machine Embroidery

Portugal, the European textile cradle, is renowned for its know-how in tailoring, accessories and beautiful finishes - such as embroidery.

Macon & Lesquoy have chosen to entrust the manufacture of their patches to a small, human-sized factory, which is reactive and very open to experimentation. This company has all the textile standards that Europe imposes and is regularly audited.

Applying Patches

How to attach your patches for an impeccable (and lasting) hold? Easy as pie.
First, chose a fabric that resists the heat of the iron. Cotton is ideal. Avoid silk, all wools including cashmere, synthetic fabrics, and leather. In case of doubt, take a test by pressing your hot iron on a non-visible part of your garment. If your clothing item is too sensitive to heat, you can stitch the patch.

1. Remove the sticker fixing the patch to the card-back.
2. Warm up your iron at its maximum.
3. Place the patch where you wish and cover it with a cotton cloth. You may also heat the fabric before you apply the patch.
4. Press your iron on the covered patch using the steam jet until the glue melts (it can take 5 to 20 seconds). Careful not to burn your garment! Start off by a short heating time, wait a few seconds until the fabric has cooled down a little, and check the adhesion by carefully slipping a nail under the rim of the patch. If necessary, start again with a longer heating time.
5. Flip your garment and iron on the other side like step 4.

If your patches are properly heat-applied, they will remain fastened to your clothes, even if you clean them regularly at a normal wash temperature. Macon & Lesquoy use a professional iron-on interfacing which they have personally tested. Its advantage is its resistance once adhered. It requires a very hot and high-quality iron. If you want to make sure they won’t budge, you can always add two or three discreet little stitches. Perfect!

The origin of our brand’s name is simple as can be: it unites their two names.
So the idea is simple, but the spelling and pronunciation… not so much ! Macon&Lesquoy is pronounced “MACON (like the French city, no cedilla under the C) EH LESS KWA”, and not “Macon eh lay kwa”, or “Masson eh less kwat”, or “Mykon and less koi”…
Yes, we know it’s not easy!

The Cannetilla technique requires a special metal thread to be very finely wound in a spiral, cut at the desired length, and then embroidered like beads. Bead, gold and silver thread embroideries have developed from the 17th century in Asia and Europe.
