OUR STORY
Founded in 2010, MAISON was born from a passion for exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design in luxury bags. Our founder, Claire Laurent, sought to create pieces that transcend trends and become cherished heirlooms.
After years of studying traditional leatherworking techniques across Europe, Claire established MAISON with a commitment to preserving artisanal techniques while embracing contemporary aesthetics. What began as a small atelier in Paris has grown into an internationally recognized brand, celebrated for its dedication to quality and thoughtful design.
Today, MAISON collaborates with skilled artisans around the world to create our distinctive bag collections. Each piece reflects our belief that true luxury lies in the quality of materials, the skill of the maker, and the story behind the object.
OUR VALUES

OUR ARTISANS
Behind every MAISON bag is a skilled artisan with years of training and expertise. We partner with master leatherworkers who share our commitment to excellence and our passion for preserving traditional techniques.
