Les Griffes was born as the realization of a dream.
Always passionate about sustainable and vintage fashion, at the age of 22 I began working for ready-to-wear tailor shops that produced garments for brands such as Gianfranco Ferré, Max Mara, Romeo Gigli, and Emilio Pucci, an experience that allowed me to recognize the details that distinguish an ordinary garment from a haute couture item.
I've been hanging out at flea markets and vintage stocks since the 1990s: in these magical places, I have over time found, collected, and fixed up items that I thought were lost and have been able to give them new life.
A few years ago, aware that I had accumulated a decidedly important archive of men's and women's items, I began to offer them online to those who could appreciate and enhance them: given the decidedly positive feedback, I then decided to open my own online site, where I could offer my own personal selection of new and vintage items.
Enjoy!
