Workshop
Mà Atelier is a sewing workshop located in Manacor, Balearic Islands, Spain. Established in 2019 by the hand of Ophélie Berton just arrived from Paris, France where she trained in the trade.
It was born from the need to create a world where she could devote herself to what she loves most: pattern making and tailoring.
On an island where this exclusive guild was suffering in a pre-pandemic world.
Very quickly the opportunities for jobs came and the multipurpose workshop had to expand. Machines, Tables, Mannequins, Suppliers but always from the same and only hand.
She defines herself more as an artisan than a designer or dressmaker.
“My creativity is technicality first and foremost. I am more satisfied to look for the form than the form itself.
The ideas are born on their own from the clients, the personalities and the fabrics. I’m just a medium.
I like the materials, I like my machines, I like being in my workshop. “
