Queen Marie Antoinette Collection
Welcome to our Marie Antoinette Collection!
The last Queen of France, Marie-Antoinette (1755-1793), has become a worldwide icon, embodying elegance, refinement, and tragedy. Though controversial in her time, she left behind a unique cultural legacy that continues to inspire generations. Sajou, with its headquarters near the Château de Versailles, pays tribute to this emblematic figure with a collection dedicated to her world.
Our Marie Antoinette Collection offers a range of products inspired by the queen and her era. Discover our embroidery kits featuring motifs and symbols dear to Marie-Antoinette, along with refined fabrics in soft hues and floral patterns reminiscent of the gardens and decor of the Petit Trianon. This collection also includes sewing accessories, stationery items, and various regal-inspired objects that evoke the splendor of Versailles and the queen’s private life at the Petit Trianon.
After decades of obscurity, Marie-Antoinette’s image was rehabilitated. In 1816, King Louis XVIII paid her homage with an official funeral, and she gradually became a symbolic figure representing the expiatory legacy of the Revolution. Empress Eugénie, a devoted admirer, collected her belongings, while writers like Dumas and the Goncourt brothers helped build the legend. In the early 20th century, Pierre de Nolhac, the first curator of Versailles, restored her image by unveiling her artistic tastes and rehabilitating the Petit Trianon.
Today, Marie-Antoinette embodies timeless elegance and continues to influence fashion and art. The Sajou Marie Antoinette Collection invites you to rediscover her world through authentic products that blend history with French craftsmanship.
