About BERTHOLLET NYC
At BERTHOLLET NYC, we believe that every designer deserves a partner who truly understands their vision. More than just a service provider, we are dedicated to helping brands bring their designs to life with precision, care, and a commitment to success.
Founded by Emily Berthollet, BERTHOLLET NYC was built on a passion for craftsmanship, technical excellence, and supporting designers at every stage of their journey.
Emily’s love for fashion began at an early age, learning to sew from her grandmother. At 14, she created her first real pattern, sparking a fascination with garment construction that would shape her future. She went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising and studied abroad in Paris, where she immersed herself in the artistry and precision of French fashion.
Determined to build a career in the industry, Emily moved to New York City just days after graduating—without a job, but with a dream. Over the past six years in NYC, she has honed her skills in patternmaking, sample development, and technical design, working with a range of brands to bring their ideas to life. While she loves designing, her true passion lies in patternmaking—the intersection of creativity, math, and problem-solving. She thrives on the technical challenges of fit, construction, and precision, ensuring that every design is not just beautiful but also functional and production-ready.
Today, BERTHOLLET NYC collaborates with brands of all sizes—from emerging designers launching their first collection to established labels refining their fit and expanding their offerings. Whether you're developing a single piece or an entire line, our team is here to make the process smooth, efficient, and rewarding.
For Emily, patternmaking isn’t just a job—it’s a passion. With a deep appreciation for the technical and mathematical aspects of garment construction, she finds joy in solving fit challenges, refining silhouettes, and helping designers bring their ideas to life. Her goal is to make the process easy, efficient, and stress-free for her clients, ensuring that every brand she works with has the tools and support they need to thrive.
