THE ARTISAN behind the atelier

Adrienne Charuel is an artisan and weaver, moving her hands across threads as one moves through a story — with rhythm, care, and quiet intention.

She studied fashion design in Paris at ESMOD, the cradle of couture, where discipline, precision, and reverence for form shaped her eye. She honed her weaving in New York and traced the poetry of aizome in Japan.

Returning to the Philippines, she found belonging. Between these worlds, her language emerged — the loom, colors drawn from nature, the pauses between stitches.

Maison Métisse was born as a living atelier, where heritage craft and contemporary form meet in delicate balance. Each garment begins slowly, carrying the echo of time, the imperfection of the hand, the trace of care.

Adrienne’s work is a conversation across generations — not to preserve the past, but to let it bloom anew.

Every thread tells a story: patience, touch, becoming.

A dialogue between past and present, earth and skin, tradition and the now.
