Atelier Delphine

The name Atelier Delphine speaks to the influence of French minimalist cuts and casual sophistication, and the business is based in New York and Los Angeles. Yet the seed for each garment is sown while Yuka is on the move – travelling to India where she sources the fabrics for the “well-travelled haori coat,” to Peru, where she works closely with traditional artisans to develop beautifully crafted sweaters and shoes, and to Italy where she seeks out unsurpassed skills in leatherwork and tailoring. The result is a balance between wabi-sabi aesthetics and exceptional technical detailing – two values which are the heart of Japanese culture, and which guide Yuka’s search for beauty all over the world.
