    Phenomenal process, I can't get my head around how the pleating moulds were even created, this is true craftsmanship and thankfully it will never die because Chanel owns it.

    I run Ciment Pleating ltd in the UK. The moulds are truly the treasure and can take up to 4 weeks to make the complicated ones. If anyone wants to visit us then feel free to come along. We are happy to show off our craft.

    Pleating the fabric is an ancient technique, not exclusive to Chanel, it was already used in Egypt, on the African continent.

    What I would like to see is the molds being constructed. It must take incredible precision to make two that fit together so perfectly.

    Value needs to be placed on these traditional methods. Maybe the best way to do that is if the results weren’t so expensive. But at the same time, the craft is worthy of the price. Dilemma

    This is so amazingly clever! Whoever came up with this process was a genius. I use a manual pleater for doll trim and it’s no small feat to control thin, lightweight materials such as silk while pleating. These molds can create intricate dimensional patterns that are unique to the fashion house. Wonderful!

    l love this so much - especially for now - how craftsmanship can survive in this modern changed and changing world. Foe a while now I have been watching Beech leaves unfurl in the Spring - they are pleated. And I work with paper to make jewellery so will try to use this pleating technique apropos of Beech leaves and Lognon and Chanel etc to create my take. Thank you for making this film.

    Mary Frame I think it's an oven with steam, and no, pleats that have been baked can be washed as normal. But Lognon is a haute couture atelier, so the clothing are probably only washed by professionals.

    it is a pleating board. These boards are probably not available for purchase, but you can find a tutorial on youtube on how to make a pleating board for regular accordion pleats. Although your comment is a year old, i hope this helps you in some way.
