Core offering

Le Lissier designs and sells handcrafted sneakers and accessories made from upcycled upholstery fabrics and heritage textiles sourced from French suppliers. The company offers three core sneaker styles (Lacets lace-ups, Scratch velcro, and Slip-on) plus accessories, each pair produced by hand in a family workshop in Porto, Portugal, with Italian natural leather linings, natural rubber soles, and metal eyelets.

Product overview

Le Lissier is an artisanal French footwear brand specializing in handcrafted sneakers made from upcycled furnishing fabrics sourced from French upholsterers, antique dealers, textile warehouses, and luxury heritage fabric houses. The product portfolio centers on three core sneaker styles — Lacets (lace-ups), Scratch (velcro), and Slip-on — each produced by hand in a family workshop in Porto, Portugal. The brand complements its footwear with a Maison Sajou Toile de Jouy sub-collection sourced from historic Sajou archives, a limited-edition Tour Eiffel collaboration (partnered with S.E.T.E.), and accessories including hats and scarves. Gift cards and a clearance (Dernière Chance) line round out the offering. Every pair is unique due to the recycled and limited nature of the sourced fabrics.
