OUR FABRIC
We choose our fabrics based on sustainability and wearability. Naturally, linen and linen blends are our top choice. Being a natural fiber, linen is fully biodegradable, kinder to your skin and very durable. To put it simply - it just feels good and wears well, you will never get it perfectly smooth, but we believe that’s the most beautiful thing about it.

OUR PROCESS
Our process is simple — every design idea starts with creating a style pattern and then a sample. This can be the most daunting and most time-consuming step in the clothing design process, but it is absolutely necessary when creating garments that have a proper fit.

MEET ANTRA
Montmarquet.A founder and designer Antra Montmarquet has been inspired by fashion and the craft of dressmaking since her childhood. Growing up in Latvia in the mid ‘90’s, when western brands were just entering the local economy, women in her family often chose to have their clothing custom made by a local dressmaker. Weekly visits with her mother to clothing ateliers, fabric stores and haberdasheries taught Antra different fabrics and fits, how to build a color palette and how to plan a smart wardrobe. Most importantly — it taught her that every detail matters and no part of the process should be rushed. Each Montmarquet.A collection piece features effortless lines and functional design, creating a clean and modern look. With a commitment to sustainability, all pieces are locally made from responsibly sourced fabric.
