about Véronique Buist
Véronique Buist is a multidisciplinary artist who works primarily with textile fiber. It was through her exploration of embroidery that she also became interested in the medium of paper, its manufacture, and the poetic potential it offers. Textile fiber is therefore both a support, an embroidered motif, and a subject of study: an element that can be revisited indefinitely. Her research primarily questions the notion of perception—figurative or literal—in the development of textures and the translation of concepts into embroidered patterns. The landscape and environment as we perceive them are a vast source of inspiration in her practice.
The fiber medium has created a meeting point between Véronique Buist and Anne-Marie, who gravitate towards Atelier Retailles. We are pleased to present her magnificent artist's book to spread her inspiring use of embroidery on handmade paper!
about our fabrics
For the past 12 years, we've been experimenting and refining our processes to work with the best natural fibers available. We select our materials for their durability, comfort, aesthetic properties, and the conditions in which they were produced. We prioritize suppliers located near our workshop. Many of our jerseys and knits are made in Canada, while some woven fabrics come from the United States. For more specialized materials, we work with Japan and certain European countries (mainly Italy and northern countries). It is essential for us to ensure that workers' conditions are fair, and the best way to be sure is to choose countries that have a charter of individual rights that resembles ours!

made to order
If the color or size you are looking for is no longer available, do not hesitate to write to us. We have a fabric inventory at the workshop that allows us to manufacture any of our models, whether it is this one or a piece from a past collection. Simply write to us at info@atelier-b.ca with the model you are looking for so we can suggest fabrics and colors! Orders sewn at the workshop are at the regular price (if the model is on sale, the discount does not apply to a piece sewn to order). Production time can vary from 4 to 6 weeks. Items from past collections sewn to order have a 10% surcharge. We can also make alterations to the pattern, in which case there will be an additional charge depending on the situation which can vary from 10 to 20%.
