👉🏼More #MakersParis Intelligence – quoted from the ‘Makers Paris’ book: “In terms of culture, Paris is like an infinite sea, with hundreds of cinemas, bookshops, galleries. And for fashion, there are so many different neighbourhoods, so many different boutiques, with big houses side by side with small shops. There is a good balance in Paris; in many cities now you only find big chains and big brands.” @isaacreina, accessories designer, Paris Maker! #makersparis #mkrsfamily #lifeinparis #lifeonearth #madebyhumans #thisisparis

News from the Mkrs. Paris Shop 💥 Pay homage to France’s most famous fromage with this ingenious Camembert-shaped pen holder. As if the design wasn’t creative enough, each wonkily shaped ceramic wedge is unique, so you won’t see another quite like it. A slice of whimsy from local brand @brigittetanaka , known for their playful remixes of everyday objects. It’s included in the Guest Curator selection by @sarahandelman #makersparis #mkrsfamily #madebyhumans #lifeinparis #lifeonearth #slowlife

🇬🇧 Made by Humans. What matters to us the most is a city’s local ecosystem of artists, artisans and ideas people. That’s what gives a place meaning, what brings it to life. We’re concerned with sincerity, quality of life, craft and community. With making, not faking! 🇫🇷 Made by Humans. Pour nous, ce qui compte le plus dans une ville c'est son écosystème local d’artistes, d’artisans et d’entrepreneurs. C’est ce qui donne du sens à un lieu, ce qui lui donne vie. Nous sommes porté par la sincérité, la qualité de vie, l’artisanat et la communauté. #makersparis #mkrsfamily #madebyhumans #lifeinparis #lifeonearth #slowlife #shopsmall #supportlocal #smallbusiness #parisianstyle #parislife #thisisparis #meetthemaker #IRL #friendsandfamily #parismaville #parisjetaime

🇬🇧 New on the site! Meet Gildas Loaëc & Masaya Kuroki, DJs, Entrepreneurs, Paris Makers! The two friends probably met at Street Sounds, the record shop that @gildaskitsune set up on Rue Bailleul in 1995, around the same time he was managing a nascent Daft Punk. @masayakitsune arrived in France from Japan as a child and studied architecture before getting swept up in the ‘French Touch’. After returning from a trip to Japan in 2002, the now DJ duo – Gildas & Masaya –set up their own label @kitsunemusique , Kitsuné, meaning ‘fox’ in Japanese. Their electro compilations put them on the map, uncovering the best new talents, bands like Two Door Cinema Club, Digitalism or Parcels. Today the lifestyle brand is global but continues to celebrate – between Paris and Tokyo – the founders’ passions across music, fashion, coffee, and more. Here in Paris we especially love the espresso bar @cafekitsune on Palais-Royal, around the corner from Maison Kitsuné’s original boutique @maisonkitsune on Rue de Richelieu, but also the roastery they just opened on Rue du Vertbois. 🇫🇷 Nouvel article en ligne ! Rencontrez Gildas Loaëc & Masaya Kuroki, DJs, Entrepreneurs, Paris Makers ! Les deux amis se sont sûrement rencontré chez Street Sounds, le magasin de disques que @gildaskitsune a ouvert rue Bailleul en 1995, à peu près à la même époque où il gérait les Daft Punk naissants. @masayakitsune est arrivé en France du Japon dans son enfance et a étudié l'architecture avant de se laisser emporter par la French Touch. Au retour d'un voyage au Japon en 2002, le duo de DJs - Gildas & Masaya - crée leur propre label , Kitsuné, qui signifie "renard" en japonais. Leurs compilations électro révélant les meilleurs nouveaux talents - des groupes comme Two Door Cinema Club, Digitalism ou Parcels - les lancent sur le devant de la scène. Aujourd'hui, la marque lifestyle est devenu globale mais continue de célébrer - entre Paris et Tokyo - les passions des fondateurs: musique, mode, café, et plus encore. Ici à Paris, nous sommes particulièrement attachés au bar à expresso du Palais-Royal, la boutique historique rue de Richelieu, mais aussi la brûlerie-café qu'ils viennent d'ouvrir Rue du Vertbois.

👉🏼Now showing at the @galeriemiranda a solo show of recent works by American artist Chuck Kelton who manipulates photosensitive paper to create abstract, emotionally-charged artworks reminiscent of canyons, mountains, oceans and forests. Gallery and bookshop, Galerie Miranda remains open during lockdown as it is considered an essential business. Yay! #makersfamily #mkrsfamily #lifeinparis #lifeonearth #madebyhumans

News from the Mkrs. Paris Shop 👉 Since he began, @isaacreinaparis has loved working with natural, vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather. The traditional techniques used in the vegetable tanning process mean that the leather continues to soften and develops a rich, burnished patina as it ages. Sunlight, movement, heat and the natural oils on your hands slowly darken the leather, making each piece unique. Vegetable tanning does not pollute the environment the way the chromium-based leather tanning does. There is also less machinery, and so less electricity. 💥 #makersparis #mkrsfamily #madebyhumans #lifeinparis #lifeonearth #slowfashion #handcrafted
