Why it belongs in ORBIS
Paris children's label since 2012—Aurélie Remetter and Marie Pidancet craft bohemian embroidered and smocked garments for children and mothers using artisan textiles.
Louise Misha is a Parisian children's clothing brand founded in 2012 by Aurélie Remetter and Marie Pidancet, rooted in the co-founders' shared love of bohemian and vintage aesthetics. The brand's origin traces to a transformative journey to Delhi, India, where the founders encountered the extraordinary world of artisan textile craftsmanship, inspiring a commitment to supporting skilled artisans globally. Collections feature hand embroidery, delicate lacework, and intricate hand-smocking sourced from artisans across multiple continents, resulting in ethereal, distinctive garments for infants through young children, with a parallel range for mothers. Louise Misha produces in limited quantities with deliberate focus on longevity—pieces designed to withstand wear and pass between siblings or to the next generation—reflecting a counterpoint to fast-fashion cycles in children's wear. The brand emphasizes sustainable practice through small-batch production, support for local suppliers and artisans, and minimization of carbon footprint. Louise Misha garments are stocked internationally through specialty retailers and department stores, representing a considered approach to children's fashion that privileges craft, cultural exchange, and environmental responsibility.
