Elizabeth Atelier

We are artisans from around the world who combine generational creative wealth, skills and knowledge with our love for the classics, the new and the sustainable. The Elizabeth Atelier Egret. WHY is this long-legged heron the symbolic mark of Elizabeth Atelier? This Egret embodies Resilience, Longevity, Balance & Patience - much like the founding principles of ateliers, artists and craftsmanship. Resilience | The Egret | The Art In the 19th century, Egrets were hunted for their plumage and driven to near extinction. But with conservation efforts, the species was revived to a thriving population. The arts & crafts movement was born in opposition to mass consumerism and industrialization, reviving the need and skill to create handmade, unique objects. Longevity | The Egret | The Art Egrets can survive in the wilderness up to 22 years - not typical of most waterbirds. Craftsmanship is achieved through a lifelong pursuit of skill & quality with the end value of creating crafts that will withstand the test of time. Balance | The Egret | The Art The Egret flies slowly but powerfully: with just two wingbeats per second. Artists value the traditional crafts of the past, but with a drive to innovate - classic yet contemporary. Patience | The Egret | The Art The Egret stands still for long periods of time, hovering somewhat laboriously to snare prey that come within it's range. Ateliers usually had apprentices work on their craft for years, increasing their knowledge ad expertise to become journeymen first, before advancing to masters themselves. Elizabeth Atelier strives to Redefine Luxury Responsibly.
