Léo Atlante
2007-born Léo Atlante, founded by French designers Christophe Blateau and Manu Anessi, fuses traditional Moroccan artistry with a European sensibility. After relocating to Tiznit, Morocco, the duo drew inspiration from local embroideries, blending them with 1950s and modern influences—a formula that enriches their home and personal lives, too. In a cooperative workshop in Amaragh, more than 25 women craft scarves either by hand or using foot-powered machines, employing meticulous stitching and embroidery techniques. Léo Atlante’s fair trade model supports the local community by investing in their artisans, as well as the emergence and development of new initiatives.
