Arachné’s journey began in 2020, envisioned by Emmanuel Muraille, a naturalist painter and passionate couturier.
From the outset, his vision was clear: to merge art and fashion, drawing inspiration from the wonders of nature to create unique pieces for women seeking elegance and grace.
The first Arachné collection stood out with its one-of-a-kind dresses and ensembles, adorned with artificial flowers, an artistic expression of the ephemeral. In 2021, this concept took full form with the Nigella Project, an extraordinary creation: a bolero embroidered with 1,000 artificial flowers, each carefully crafted from hand-dyed cotton and organza.
It was during this period that Emmanuel Muraille chose to further immerse himself in the world of couture. He intensively studied pattern-making and sewing techniques, resulting in the creation of twenty prototypes, each featuring hand-painted motifs designed to be printed on natural fabrics. These exclusive prints, true works of art, became Arachné’s signature, marking the beginning of a unique journey in fashion.
By November 2023, Arachné had reached a significant milestone: the serial production and sale of its designs in a boutique. Located in the heart of Brussels’ historic Passage du Nord, Arachné’s atelier-boutique is a space where craftsmanship, expertise, and innovation come together. Each piece is meticulously handmade, adhering to the brand’s ecological values, using natural fabrics certified by GOATS and OEKO TEX® 100.
Today, Arachné stands out not only for its creations but also for its bespoke service, offering each client the opportunity to customize her wardrobe to her exact wishes. This exclusive service reflects Arachné’s commitment to creating lasting, unique pieces with meticulous attention to every detail.
