Arhippa, Enchastrayes

AN OUTSTANDING DRESSMAKER!

I DESIGN THEM... I MAKE THEM... YOU WEAR THEM!
Hats, berets, scarves, mittens... Arhippa is all that at the same time... and so much more!

My name is Virginie, I live in the Ubaye valley in Enchastrayes...

I passionately love the mountains, nature, the cold... My valley!

Nestled in the Ubaye valley, in my small workshop I draw and make my creations according to the seasons, moods and colors...

Nestled in the heart of the Southern Alps, in my small workshop in Enchastrayes in the Ubaye valley, I draw and sew my creations according to the seasons, colors and my moods in an artisanal way.

At the start there is a fabric, a season sometimes, or even a pattern, they are the ones that trigger my crush, the design of a hat, the inspiration for a choker.

Virginie and her daughter Canelle, Arhippa designers

100% MADE IN UBAYE & ECO RESPONSIBLE!

My philosophy is to use what my country makes. Thus, most of my fabrics, ribbons and buttons are made in France.

Even if ecology is often a big, rather abstract word, I am committed to using my raw materials as much as possible.

I don't reject anything, zero waste is important to me. I offer the smallest scraps of my fabrics, furs and ribbons to the school in my village. The children make pictures, plaids and garlands of it.
