Why to Buy: PARTISAN COLLECTOR is a new brand of unique leather accessories fairly made in Paris. Celebrating leather and craftsmanship, PARTISAN COLLECTOR offers a timeless collection of unique and customisable pieces designed to expand with new models over time. The brand advocates a return to the origins of craftmanship, the transformation of the existing materials overproduced for the luxury sector and a small scale production in opposition to the manufacturing of standardized craft items.

What we love: PARTISAN COLLECTOR wishes to enable everyone to express their uniqueness. The brand is defined by its deep commitment to quality, uniqueness and simplicity, a local and socially responsible production with a minimal environmental impact, limited to 365 pieces per year. Mathias and Patrick are the Parisian founders of this leather goods project which was initiated 10 years ago. They draw their inspiration from different art and cultural movements such as the Mingei and the avant-garde of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Why to buy: MAISON AVANI is a new luxury brand focused on the exceptional sapphire and singular jewellery creations, made to measure from exceptional stones. Gemmologists first and foremost, the Ponweera family wishes to pass on their love of stones and their expertise. Esthetes, the curious, novices and amateurs alike will discover a creative ballet in the workshop at the boutique. All MAISON AVANI jewellery masterpieces are crafted in the traditional way by artisans working exclusively for the brand.  Sapphires, spinels, tsavorites and diamonds; the most spectacular stones collected by MAISON AVANI are on display for all to see. The gesture of the gem-setter becomes a link between the stone and the jewel, united for eternity.

What we love: Ethics and transparency are omnipresent at MAISON AVANI, which controls its production chain from extraction to the sale of its creations. The family’s committed approach has led them to rethink the entire sustainable aspect of their house, from production to the choice of materials in this exceptional place to discover this unparalleled experience at 19 place du marché Saint Honoré 75001 Paris.

To celebrate the opening of this new and prestigious haute-gemmologie address, Maison Avani is planning an inaugural exhibition allowing everyone to discover exceptional gems and creations throughout the spring.

Why to buy: 3WLABEL is a sustainable fashion brand created for women who care about the planet’s finite resources. The name, 3WLABEL reflects the rationale behind the brand’s promise. It transforms the three R’s, Reuse, Redesign, and Return, into 3 W’s: Waste to Resource, Wearables, and Women Empowerment.

Each collection is carefully curated by the founders and is not bound by seasons, but by textile excess in factories. The company partners with Romanian garment manufacturers and uses high quality deadstock to produce limited-edition pieces, which are sold online and on-demand; this is to avoid unnecessary over-stock of unsold garments. All garments are numbered. 

What we love: By virtue of its constant need for newness, fashion fosters change. Sustainability, on the other hand, champions garment life extension and encourages material reuse. 3WLABEL positions itself at the intersection of fashion and sustainability. From ethically sourced fabrics to clean lines and timeless color palettes, 3WLABEL strives to please the most discerning customers while staying true to the brand’s values: design for longevity, care for people and planet, and transparency. Each piece is a classic with a twist, presented in contemporary hues and enhanced by practicalities such as pockets. 3WLABEL garments are comfortable, versatile, and eye-catching.

There are athflow essentials as well as a new Artisanal Lab capsule collaboration promoting an age-old Damascus hand-block printing technique by talented Lebanese artisans. Materials remain at the core of Bav’s purpose project, as always, certified, innovative, recycled or recovered from disposed waste. This season presents lush bio cupro plissé inspired by leaves, a supple textured Italian marble extract, certified crisp cotton and linen blends and 3D textured Japanese salt-finished organza silk.

What we love: BAV TAiLOR is a conscious luxury holistic sphere of gender-neutral clothing and wellness accessories, tailored into generationless ethereal silhouettes and effortless geometrical volumes inspired by design, architecture and Eastern philosophies. The brand is a member of Positive Luxury, awarded with the Butterfly Mark for a company-wide commitment to sustainability [nominated Social Innovator Award 2022], and Common Objective [CO Leader Award 2022].

They are elegant, practical and timeless.

What we love: From Brazil to Vienna, SUNIES involves women in every single stage of the production and sale. Fair trade is a must for the company. SUNIES has a Recycling Program: When the shoes come to an end, customers can contact them to ship their sandals back and they will get a special discount for their future orders. The company pays the return costs. So the recycling process begins and old Sunies can be re-assembled and start a new life!
