This hand-embroidered bracelet uses various artisanal techniques found in the Lesage archives dating back to 1850: seed stitch, drawn thread work, point de Boulogne, satin stitch, stem stitch, and front-and-back chain stitch. These embroidery styles, used individually or in combination, create a wide range of textures and effects, making each piece unique and intricate.

The house’s parent company, Denma, adds on social media that each individual bracelet takes a day to make.

This distressed version requires the skills of an artist to imbue it with a worn and aged look.

Balenciaga has a history of selling high-priced metal and metal-adjacent merchandise, including a collaboration with Rammstein. Earlier this year, the brand went viral for selling a bangle resembling a roll of gaffer tape according to a report by Metro.
