Maison Marais
Maison Marais was founded in 2018 in Paris by French designer-and-collector group focused on what the brand described as 'a deliberately-Le-Marais-Parisian-aesthetic contemporary-luxury vocabulary anchored to the deliberately-curated Le Marais 3rd-and-4th arrondissement Parisian-luxury-lifestyle aesthetic.' The brand has been one of the more quietly disciplined post-2018 Paris-anchored 'Le-Marais-aesthetic-luxury' brands.
The Maison Marais vocabulary settled around several recurring elements: deconstructed cotton-and-linen Parisian-everyday tailored separates with deliberately-Le-Marais-aesthetic proportional construction, hand-printed silk and cotton shirts with deliberately-Parisian-cosmopolitan motif references, hand-knitted Italian-mill cashmere-and-merino sweaters in deliberately-Parisian-everyday colour combinations, deliberately-architectural leather-and-cotton accessories programme, and a colour palette anchored to washed-cream, ecru, washed-charcoal, oxblood, soft-pink, washed-navy, plus the brand's recurring use of natural-tan and the iconic Le-Marais-aesthetic colour combinations.
The brand is independent and held by the founding team. Maison Marais operates flagship retail in Paris (Le Marais — the brand's home flagship in the 3rd arrondissement) plus international wholesale through SSENSE, MATCHES, MR PORTER, Mytheresa, Lane Crawford, the Webster, and a curated set of contemporary-luxury-Parisian-aesthetic specialty retailers globally. The brand has been one of the more quietly disciplined post-2018 Paris-anchored 'Le-Marais-aesthetic-luxury' brands.
