FINE LEATHER GOODS
MAES Paris is a leather good brand founded in 2020.
Guided by the ambition to make fashion finally sustainable, the brand combines innovation and tradition to offer creations with the lowest possible impact on our planet.
STORY
Trained as an engineer, I have always been curious to understand how things work.
I have been passionnate about leather goods since I met incredible artisans in 2010. I was so touched by their passion and their constant quest for perfection when they were giving life to their creations.
In 2018 I met for the first time with entrepreneurs developping a plant-based alternative to leather. The discussion that followed transformed me, challenging every belief I had on materials and their impact on the environment.
In 2020, convinced that we could do so much better, I decided to start MAES Paris and to offer to those who shared my convictions a new story, one about uniting French traditional craft and innovations preserving our environment.
"MY GOAL WITH MAES PARIS WAS TO OPEN A NEW CHAPTER OF LUXURY LEATHER GOODS.
MY CREATIONS ARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT AFRAID TO PUSH BOUNDARIES, THOSE WHO PUSH OUR WORLD IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION."
Romain Boubert
The elegance of balance
Architecture, design, contemporary art... My sources of inspiration are many. Each of our creations are imagined as an extension of their owner's personality.
The shapes are structured, the lines spirited, balance vital. Function is critical and serving elegance, one cannot go without the other.
The "Double M" monogram is often present. It represents as much the MAES name as the French word "Maison" (House) which embodies our artisanal craft, a pillard of our approach, of our philosophy.
