Founded in 2011 in Lille, in the North of France, Le Colonel is a family-run business born from the initiative of Clémence and Rémi, a couple who wanted to find, in a small fashion accessory, a discreet and elegant way to stand out.

Specializing in design and craftsmanship, the company grew thanks to its signature product: the bow tie

As a pioneer in the textile revival of the Hauts-de-France region, Le Colonel now offers a wide range of products, including ties and pocket squares.

Welcome behind the scenes at Le Colonel, tucked away in the Saint-Maurice Pellevoisin neighborhood of Lille. Here, our workshop is more than just a place of production, it’s the beating heart of our house. Every day, we imagine, design, and craft accessories that tell a story, yours. From the meticulous selection of fabrics to the final stitch, everything is done with care to offer you unique, lasting pieces.

With their training and experience, our artisan seamstresses craft each piece by hand.
They are the guardians of a rare and precious savoir-faire. From our seamstresses to our logistics team, everyone at Le Colonel is driven by the same ambition: to create beautifully, do things right, serve with heart, and produce with quality and love. This is made possible because we are a human-sized company where everyone works closely together and shares the same values.

And because we believe in responsible sourcing and in the talents around us, we collaborate with companies from the Lille region. From our fabrics to our threads, our labels, and even our machines — our resources come from local partners.
