Napoleon and Josephine collection
Welcome to Maison Sajou's Napoleon and Josephine Collection!
Derived from the grand embroidery we dedicated to them, our Napoleon and Josephine collection celebrates the elegance and refinement of the Empire. Here, you will find a wide range of products inspired by this historic period: embroidery kits featuring imperial motifs, fabrics in characteristic colours and patterns of the Empire, as well as haberdashery items, stationery, and various accessories that evoke this legendary couple and their influence on arts and crafts.
Napoleon and Josephine played a vital role in the development of French manufacturing, particularly in the Lyon region. Eager to promote French craftsmanship, they placed numerous orders with the Lyon silk-makers to furnish the imperial palaces and symbolize France's prestige. This initiative not only supported the textile industry but also strengthened the international reputation of French silk. Recently, an exhibition at the Grand Trianon highlighted this lesser-known facet of his reign.
Whether you are passionate about history or simply seeking timeless elegance, our Napoleon and Josephine collection will inspire and transport you to the heart of the Empire!
