a story of French beauty
A brushmaking artisan since 1875, Altesse Studio embodies a storied tradition that has shaped French beauty and extended its influence worldwide.
This effortless beauty, so widely admired, is deeply rooted in our heritage and craftsmanship. This distinctly French approach to beauty began captivating global attention in the mid-20th century, thanks to the Carita sisters, who called themselves “entrepreneurs of transformation”. They introduced the 100 brush strokes ritual - a practice that has become iconic, serving as the starting point for elevating every type of hair.
Tucked away in the heart of the Thérain Valley in Picardy, our workshops have kept the art of French brushmaking alive for six generations. This exceptional know-how is passed down with passion and precision by our artisans, who create far more than simple styling accessories. Our handcrafted French brushes are timeless pieces - designed to last, withstand the years, and to be passed on. Just like a perfectly tailored trench coat, a silk scarf, or that iconic little black dress you'll never want to part with.
A French history, a passion for craftsmanship
What makes our Made in France brushes truly unique are the skilled hands that bring them to life - those of our artisans, whose meticulous movements, honed over time, are pivotal in crafting each of our hairbrushes, beard brushes, and body brushes. Our deep-rooted love for Made in France is built on the blend of tradition and technical mastery - a combination that creates exceptional pieces and transforms daily care into holistic rituals.
Unrivaled quality French boar bristle brushes
Behind every Altesse Studio-branded wild boar bristle brush lies seven hours of meticulous work. Our artisans carefully select noble, long-lasting materials - such as first-cut boar bristles and hand-carved olive wood – to create Made in France hairbrushes with the perfect grip and remarkable longevity. And so, the word goes around the world: our brushes are made to last a lifetime.
