Watson and Rauzy purchased an 18th-century townhouse in Vallabrègues and found it once served as a rattan business headquarters. Vallabrègues was historically the largest basket producer in France. They established Atelier Vime in 2018, focusing on vintage rattan and new designs in collaboration with local artisans. Recently, they acquired an adjacent property, transforming it into La Maison Vime, an art de vivre shop. The shop displays a curated selection of rattan pieces alongside ceramics, glassware, and other home goods for sale.
