Sewn to order, never from stock
There is no warehouse behind this maison. Each piece for sale or commission is cut, sewn and finished after your request arrives: your measurements, your fabric, your initials. It is slower than a shelf, and it is why an Appolonia piece fits your table and no one else's. Made-to-order pieces are quoted individually by the atelier, and confirmed in your devis within two working days.
A mother & a daughter
Estelle Bogaert learned to sew at four, at the side of her mother, Appolonia, whose name the maison carries. They still sew together: one drawing motifs in Paris, both finishing pieces in Versailles. What passes between their hands is the same thing the linen is for — something taught, kept and handed down.
A craft that keeps learning
The maison continues to train in the great Parisian métiers d'art, embroidery above all, so that each year's pieces are finer than the last.
