Maison Michel

Maison Michel is a French firm that creates hats and hair accesories. Since 1936, when Monsieur Auguste Michel created his first atelier at 65 Rue Sainte Anne in Paris, socialites, celebrities and mere fashion lovers have gone bananas for their designs. In 1980 Maison Michel, under the artistic direction of Pierre Debard, started to create the hats for the prêt-à-porter and haute couture collections of major fashion firms such as Chanel, Givenchy, Lanvin, Lacroix or Nina Ricci.

By 1996 Chanel takes over Maison Michel and in 2006 the first Maison Michel store opens to the public allowing a wider audience to buy there, rather than just the exclusive elite of private customers it used to have.
