What is considered couture?

1 Answer
What is considered couture?
Apparel and accessories that are custom-made to order out of fine materials are considered couture. It's important to distinguish couture from haute couture, a protected status conferred upon fashion houses by the French government. Each year, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode publishes a list of brands that have earned the right to use the term. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of apparel and accessories.
