Interview with Cédric Brochier,
Erasme, A web documentary on the textile industry of the Lyon Metropolis
In 1890, fueled by a profession in full effervescence, Jean Brochier launched the Lyon silk house Brochier Soieries. A true conductor of all the essential know-how for the realization of silks, he created fabric collections, financed silk purchases, had the threads spun, dyed, and engraved. He provided work, raw materials, and patterns to weavers and printers and ensured the sale of fabrics to customers.
