About Blotter Atelier
divider

Blotter atelier is a French designer brand from Metz launched by Benjamin Garin & Mathilde Osmont  in 2012.

Blotter creates exclusive women, men and unisex collections in partnerships with artists, combining traditional lines with artistic touches.

The duo presented its first women’s collection in Spring Summer 2013 with the aim to democratize the access to noble materials and a sharp quality of production . The autumn winter 2016 season marks the launch of the men’s line that comes to enrich the locker room Blotter workshop.

The team Blotter workshop federates creative and production workshops around a common goal, creating exclusive and innovative collections.

Blotter atelier finds its references here and elsewhere, in culture, art and philosophy to meet the expectations of men and women eager for innovation, counterpoint and independence.

Blotter Atelier’s ethic is to give meaning to the wardrobe: by a timeless style, by the personalization of colors and patterns, the use of precious stuffs and by a responsible European production.

Blotter’s clothes are created and made with passion in France and Portugal.
