The Sapphire Diadem Sunday Sweater from Gretchen Heist’s Louvre Heist Collection reimagines royal jewels as wearable art. Inspired by the stolen sapphire necklace once whispered to have disappeared under moonlight from the Musée du Louvre, this piece translates opulence into intrigue.
 
A halo of embroidered sapphires and diamonds arcs across the neckline like a secret crown—each gem meticulously rendered in thread with dimensional stitching that mimics cut facets and metallic glints. The result is a trompe-l’œil diadem that appears both luxurious and elusive, as if lifted from a velvet display case.

    Expect the Unexpected 

    Gretchen Heist is for the beautifully complex.


    A New York-based luxury fashion house specializing in leather goods. The brand is founded and led by Creative Director, Gretchen Heist. Having grown up in her mother’s art studio, Gretchen brings a practice shaped by early exposure to art, narrative, and materials. Heist itself is an anagram of her mother’s maiden name—an inheritance turned into code.

    ​

     

    We celebrate and design for women who are beautifully complex, powerful, and unbound by convention. She embodies the dualities of the feminine archetype—refined yet romantic, strategic yet delicate, independent yet vulnerable. She does not choose one version of herself. She carries them all, proudly. She believes in the mystery of being, and in the power of presence: to arrive without announcing, to linger in memory without explanation.

     

    Ultimately, she is a mystery. 

     

    Like all great mysteries, each Gretchen Heist design has an exploration process. The viewer can experience the artwork from the first impression to discovering hidden details within. Every design is handcrafted and incorporates themes of psychology, symbology, and Trompe l’oeil details. Texture is essential to the experience of each piece, from textile fabrication to the incorporation of non-traditional notions into the work. Gretchen Heist blends artistic intention, handcrafted technique, and partnerships with contemporary artists to create designs that are expressions of wearable art.
