VAUTRAIT
Vautrait - Yonathan Carmel founded Vautrait in 2021. The brand takes its name from one of his ancestors. The designer places craftsmanship and tailoring at the heart of his approach. Each piece is the fruit of traditional techniques and becomes a place where time, memory and modernity meet. Preserving this know-how goes beyond the garment itself: it also means ensuring that the skills and knowledge of those who make it are passed on. Vautrait defends a fashion style that values authenticity and the natural patina of time. In September 2024, the brand joined the Official Calendar of Paris Fashion Week®. That same year, it was a semi-finalist in the LVMH Prize.
