MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS
Two enigmatic names, fragments of universes belonging to the same galaxy and telling in wakes the inspirations of an artistic encounter between two young creators. One is a perfumer, the other a fashion designer. Quentin Bisch and Marc-Antoine Barrois met in 2015 and immediately created an extraordinary creative partnership. Childhood memories, shared values and the same love for beautiful materials as well as the respect for a certain sobriety have brought them together around the challenge of defining and redefining new and timeless elegance.
The core of Maison Marc-Antoine Barrois is to offer tailor-made clothing, a thoughtful consumption of clothes with a timeless style, which have not travelled around the planet twice and are long-lasting. This Corporate Social Responsibility extends to the brand’s fragrances, 100% made in France, without preservatives and controversial UV filters, which are considered as possible endocrine disruptors. A sustainable approach to packaging means there is no cellophane wrapping on the perfume boxes, instead, there is a self-adhesive hologram label that guarantees the authenticity of products without the use of plastic. In addition to being reusable, these same boxes are entirely recyclable.
Marc-Antoine Barrois has opened his first luxury fragrance flagship in Piccadilly Arcade, London in September 2022. This first British outlet is a replica of his perfume boutique in Galerie Véro-Dodat, Paris, France.
The Parisian couturier thus opens his first flagship out of France in the iconic Piccadilly Arcade home to the finest independent, handcrafted specialists in London where contemporary style meets Edwardian grandeur.
