20 years of experience and passion to go further together
We write to you today with both gratitude and great excitement in our hearts.
For over 20 years, Les Ateliers Nemesis and Les Artisans d’Azure have grown alongside you—and thanks to you! Together, we’ve brought bold ideas to life, met challenges with creativity, and contributed to the evolution of the LARP world with dedication, beauty, and passion.
In these uncertain times, the strength and unity of the group are more important than ever. After two decades of hard work and resilience on both sides, we asked ourselves what the next step should be - not just a new way of doing things, but most importantly, a new way of doing them together.
Our company cultures and shared human values have drawn us closer over the years.
These same values of inclusion and the joy of play are what bring together players, organizers, and artisans around this passion we all share: Live Action Role-Playing. It’s your continued trust and support that gives us the drive to keep going and build something solid for the future.
Today, we are proud—and a little emotional—to share a major milestone with you:
Our two companies are officially joining forces under a shared vision: the Level Up project.
You may be wondering: What does this mean for the Nemesis and Azure brands?
We are fully committed to preserving the strength and DNA of both brands throughout this transition.
For now, nothing changes in how the brands are represented: The same quality, the same time-tested craftsmanship, and the same experienced teams remain at your service.
Les Artisans d'Azure brand will continue to represent outstanding accessories, armors and custom costumes, while the Nemesis Workshops brand will continue to represent LARP weapons of exceptional quality.
Level Up embodies this project of fusion and collaboration, but we're still thinking about the name that will unite us in the future!
What’s new is that we’re now combining our strengths to offer you a more unified, complete, and ambitious product offering than ever before.
Our collections cover a wide range of needs and budgets, and our ability to craft fully customized gear - from head to toe - is more unmatched than ever on the market.
Our boutiques in Montréal, St-Élie, and online will continue to grow, with more quality products and the same personalized service you’ve come to expect.
This year promises to bring both alignment challenges and thrilling new ventures - stay tuned!
We're excited to present our campaign map for 2025 and after:
