This 100-year-old fabric atelier has worked on interiors for Audrey Hepburn, Lee Radziwell, and the White House – we journey through the design stories

Audrey Hepburn and La Manufacture Cogolin rug.

What do Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent, and Audrey Hepburn have in common? For one, they're three of the most admired icons to have shaped design history – but they also have the same taste for interiors. The uniting thread: La Manufacture Cogolin, the French rug and fabric atelier who has designed pieces for the most recognized homes (and people) on the planet.

Since 1924, La Manufacture Cogolin has produced rugs of unrivaled elegance, hand-knotted or woven by local craftswomen on 19th-century looms. Preserved with vigilance and respect, it has conserved its essence and captivating ingenuity through the generations – collecting renowned clientele along the way. Since its founding, La Manufacture Cogolin has dressed the interiors from the SS Normandie ocean liner to the Elysée Palace, Versailles, to the Vatican and the White House, along with countless actors and designers' homes. It's more than simply one of the best places to buy rugs; it's a luxury atelier with a place in history.
