Caudry Museum

A site steeped in history for an exceptional fashion show Built in 1899, and still in operation, the Carpentier & Preux factory symbolizes the epic of the Caudry lace industry and the transmission of know-how over the generations.

Bearing the name of its two founding families, the Carpentier & Preux factory was also nicknamed the Transvaal from the outset, because of the Boer War which broke out in the Transvaal in South Africa at the time of its construction in 1899.

The site , uninhabited, is then located in open country. The construction of the factory will lead to the construction of houses in the surrounding streets in order to accommodate the 400 workers near their work.

Despite the vagaries of the Great War and then of a terrible fire in 1968, the Manufacture survived the decades. Textile materials are still produced there today. The large brick chimney, a remnant of the days when looms were powered by steam, still stands proudly within the grounds of the building.

On Aura Tout Vu would like to thank Mr. Antoine Clément, Managing Director of Carpentier & Preux, for making the site available for this fashion show.

Lace creations like we’ve never seen before! 2002 marked the presentation of the first On Aura Tout Vu couture collection and the beginning of a particularly creative relationship with the Caudresian lace industries.

20 years, the house’s collections

For 20 years, the house’s collections have revisited the spirit of Leavers lace each season through themes that are each more daring than the next.
In the creations of On Aura Tout Vu, Leavers lace is diverted, lacquered, plasticized, painted, associated with antagonistic materials. Under the scissors of creators, it is reinvented, composed and broken down, applied, encrusted or embedded under other fabrics. Ennobled, re-embroidered, Leavers lace is adorned with a thousand effects to magnify its patterns. Illusion or pretense.
