Lucien Pellat-Finet ( c. 1945 – 26 February 2024) was a French fashion designer. [1] He specialised in cashmere and started with knitted luxurious sweaters. [2] Intarsia knitters from Edinburgh are used to knit the sweaters since the area is known for producing high-end cashmere. [3] In 2020, the label was acquired by Thierry Gillier, creative director and CEO of Zadig & Voltaire, who renamed the brand Pellat-Finet. [4] This marked the rebirth of the brand, still producing some of the finest carded cashmere sweaters in the world. The label has a store in Paris located 326 Rue Saint Honoré in the 1er arrondissement. [5]
Lucien Pellat-Finet drowned on 26 February 2024, at the age of 78. [6]
