Vintage nautical brass compass, weathered buoy, and coiled fishing rope on sun-bleached driftwood surface — LeMaire Shore collection, Jolene Le Mille Archive

LeMaire Shore

Oxidized nautical brass, sun-bleached cedar, and decades-weathered teak from Michigan's Great Lakes shoreline. Life jackets, buoys, fishing rope and netting, glass floats, and the objects of the working waterfront. The Great Lakes were never just lakes — they were highways of American commerce, and the shore kept what the ships left behind. For the cottage wall, the lakefront room, the window that looks out at water. The objects of a summer that has been going on for generations.

About This Collection

The summer collection. Named for the family’s connection to the Great Lakes shoreline, LeMaire Shore is for the lake house that looks like it has always been there — worn teak on the dock, oxidized brass on the cleats, white linen that has dried in actual wind.

Sources from the estate dispersals of Michigan’s lake communities — Charlevoix, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Mackinac Island — where families have summered for four generations and quality was simply the expectation.

Solid nautical brass with authentic green-copper patina. Sun-bleached cedar and decades-weathered teak. Heavy frosted sea glass. Canvas that has seen actual weather. Natural white linen in weights appropriate for a lake breeze. Nothing in this collection looks like a beach souvenir. Everything looks like it belongs to the house that has been in the family since 1952.
