The story ofAtelier Dune
"Born from a prototype imagined by my mom and made by her seamstress years ago, the poncho gradually became a real family story."
Pauline Boyer Martin - Creator ofAtelier Dune
After 10 years in the Marketing Department of 2 major French luxury and fashion houses, Pauline left Paris for family reasons... and left fashion. In Lyon, she plunged into the world of entertainment, then finally returned to her first love...back to first love...style, deco, fashion. In short, the art of living in the broadest sense of the word.
With Atelier Dune, she brings to life a carefully thought-out project that responds to her deepest aspirations for entrepreneurship and the creation of a lifestyle brand with an iconic product: the poncho. A collection of accessories completes the range at terry. Ever since she was a little girl, Pauline has been a lover of the great outdoors, and of the beauty that lurks everywhere for those who know how to look. And for those who know her, an absolute fan of dark chocolate...
Since childhood...
Living on the Ile de Ré, my parents wear their ponchos every day, and during the vacations, a huge peg lines up ponchos in every color. Adults and teenagers fight over them and adopt them for the whole day! Whoever gets up last doesn't get one!
With this in mind, I've decided to offer you, too, the prettiest ponchos on the market, so soft thanks to their premium organic cotton, and so comfortable and practical! A sea-bathing enthusiast in every season, I tested and refined the model for months. Cut, material, finish, colors... Everything has been thought through to make Atelier Dune the PERFECT poncho! And our accessories are just as essential for a cool, chic taste of summer: maxi totebags, as well as a web exclusive: the capsule collection of eyewear cases made in Lyon!
A young selective brand...
Atelier Dune is designed in France (between Lyon and Ile de Ré) and made as close as possible, in a workshop in Portugal whose reputation for high quality onterry is well established.
Atelier Dune offers a bathing poncho, halfway between homewear and beachwear, resolutely in tune with the times. Mixed and one size fits all, it's guaranteed to look cool and chic. Matching maxi totebags complete your summer wardrobe! Last but not least, a capsule collection 100% made in Lyon by craftsmen with golden fingers offers refined eyewear bags and cases with linings woven in France from dormant stocks of French luxury houses. We're committed to the environment and to local products at Atelier Dune !
Environmentally friendly
Our ponchos and totebags are made from premium organic cotton, GOTS* and OEKO TEX* certified, guaranteeing respect for nature and for the working conditions of the little hands who lovingly crafted the product.
Produced in small batches, we guarantee that the quantities produced will be sold, thus avoiding wastage of raw materials and labor, over-pollution due to unnecessary transport, and excessive sales that encourage over-consumption.
And to take our commitment even further, the capsule collection of eyewear cases and cases is 100% made in France, in Lyon, in a small workshop. Our linings come from the dormant stocks of French luxury houses (upcycling) and are woven in France! That's our pride!
