Tailoring on the rail at the Rue de Sévigné atelier

Since 2016 · Paris

If it cannot be wornfor ten years,we do not make it.

The house

One coat, then a rule

Maison Noir began with a single wool wrap coat, made because the founder could not find one that would survive a decade. It sold out in eleven days, and the decision that followed has shaped everything since: make fewer things, make them properly, and be able to name every hand that touched them.

Today the house produces thirty-two pieces a season across six ateliers, none larger than forty people. We do not run mid-season sales, because we produce in runs small enough to sell through. What is left at the end of a season goes to Final Cut, reduced once and never restocked.

Every product page names the mill, the tannery and the country of make. If a piece fails, we repair it — for as long as the house exists, at no cost, whether you bought it last month or in 2016.

What it is made from

Three materials, named

Fine-gauge knitwear

Wool & Cashmere

Grade-A Mongolian cashmere under 15.5 microns, and virgin wool woven in Biella. Both arrive with a mill certificate we publish on the product page.

Vegetable-tanned leather goods

Vegetable-Tanned Leather

Tanned with oak and mimosa bark over six weeks rather than with chrome in a day. It patinas instead of cracking, and it can be composted.

Printed silk, bias cut

Mulberry Silk

Woven and printed in Como using low-impact reactive dyes. Our prints are drawn in-house from botanical studies in the public domain.

“A wardrobe should get smaller and better every year. Ours is built to be the part you stop replacing.”

Claire Aubade — Founder & Creative Director
