History of Maison Dore
Maison Doré was born in the heart of nineteenth-century Paris, combining French elegance with exceptional craftsmanship.
The Beginning
Jacob opened a small workshop on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, creating clothing that combined French elegance, high-quality materials, and exceptional comfort.
Tennis Club Inspiration
Inspired by the developing sport of social tennis, Jacob created luxurious cotton sweatshirts with a sporty yet elegant character for Parisian clubs.
The Golden House
The workshop became known as Maison Doré, the Golden House, a name inspired by the outstanding quality and durability of Jacob's creations.
French Riviera Expansion
Maison Doré appeared in fashionable French resorts like Deauville, Nice, and Biarritz, becoming a symbol of a lifestyle combining sporty lightness with luxury.
The Silent Years
Turbulent events and wartime crises caused the workshop to close. Maison Doré existed only as a legend, with a few sketches and stories passed down in Parisian families.
The Revival
Maison Doré returns to Jacob's original values: precise craftsmanship, natural materials, minimalism, and the spirit of tennis clubs. True style never disappears.
About us
Maison Doré is the modern continuation of a Parisian legacy, a house built on craftsmanship, precision, and the quiet confidence of timeless style. Revived from the spirit of Jacob’s atelier, we carry forward his philosophy with a contemporary vision rooted in authenticity and refined minimalism.
Who We Are
We are a maison dedicated to creating clothing that feels effortless yet exceptional. Every piece we design is guided by three pillars: heritage, craftsmanship, and modern elegance. Our aesthetic draws inspiration from the early days of social tennis - clean lines, noble fabrics, and the understated prestige of French leisure culture.
Why Maison Dore
In a world full of noise, fleeting trends, and disposable fashion, Maison Doré stands apart. Our commitment is to offer enduring quality, garments crafted with intention and designed to be worn for years - not seasons.
We choose honesty over excess, refinement over exaggeration, and craftsmanship over shortcuts. Our pieces are shaped by the same values that defined Jacob’s workshop in 1887:
purity of fabric, precision of cut, and elegance in simplicity.
What We Create
Maison Doré creates premium essentials inspired by old-money sophistication and the heritage of French sport culture. Our silhouettes are minimal yet elevated. Our materials are natural, durable, and chosen for comfort and longevity. Every stitch has purpose - merging contemporary styling with the quiet prestige of Parisian tradition.
Our collections are not built to impress loudly, but to endure gracefully.
Our Promise
To honor the past without imitating it.
To design for the present while building for the future.
To revive a forgotten Parisian maison - and elevate it into a modern house of timeless refinement.
Maison Doré creates clothing for those who appreciate subtle luxury, quiet confidence, and the assurance that true style never fades - it simply waits to be rediscovered.
