Nadia Azoug

Of Kabyle origin, Nadia arrived in France at seven years old, studying for a sociology degree before work in HR and the publishing industry. In 2009, while running a bar in Paris, she struck up a rapport with a jeweller-customer, fell for the industry – and, within months, the duo had co-signed the lease on a boutique. Long since a solo venture, and now with a second outpost offering customisation, her artisanal jewellery brand Monsieur celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2020.
