One of Paris’s most inspired booksellers Sylvia Whitman of @shakespeareandcoparis with a copy of Makers Paris! 💕 In Makers, Sylvia compares her profession to a matchmaker. “That’s what I’m aiming for. It is kind of matchmaking when you’re on the shop floor—it’s like, ‘here, take this’ or ‘you know, you’ll fall in love with this book!’ But then there is this totally romantic side of the bookshop that exists too; not just matching with books but matching with people, or great friendships that blossom, or love affairs. I love making these connections between books and people, or people and people.” #makersparis #mkrsfamily #lifeinparis #lifeonearth #friendsandfamily

@isaacreinaparis has two boutiques in Paris, in the Marais and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where you can delight in his exceptional collections of bags and small leathergoods. Minimalist but not simple, an Isaac Reina bag is a concentration of technical expertise, each one an exquisite exercise in proportion, materials, and manufacturing. #makersparis #mkrsfamily #lifeinparis #shoppinginparis #lifeonearth 📸photo 1: @carrie_in_paris

Introduced by Sebastien and François Ghislain of @veja and next up in our Makers’ chain : Isaac Reina, @isaacreinaparis, bag and accessories designer, Paris maker. In 2006, the Barcelona born designer left a job in the menswear department at Hermès to launch his own label, responding to the personal challenge: “Are you able to do something specific or personal and make it work?” His collections are designed out of a studio and showroom in the Marais, and still handmade in Paris across four separate ateliers, one of which is company owned. “Paris is a place where a tradition of leather exists, like Florence.” #makersparis #mkrsfamily #lifeinparis #lifeonearth photo 📸 @carrie_in_paris

New on the site! Meet Marie de Crécy, publisher, Paris maker. She’s the founder of @supereditions, an indie publisher of inventive and fun publications that encourage kids to get in touch with their own imaginations. “I had to become a publisher so these books would exist!” she explains. Faves include the illustrator Sophie Glasser’s “Big Manual” of things to do, the draw-your-own travel notebooks, and virgin flipbooks. Her Northern Marais shop and gallery includes a wall for exhibiting new illustration work, space for workshops, and a stock of inspiring vintage prints that might take in Calder or Matisse. #linkinbio #lifeinparis #lifeonearth #makersparis #mkrsfamily #friendsandfamily

👉🏼❤️This is Marie Macon, one half of @maconetlesquoy, designer, Paris maker, in front of their shop on the Canal Saint-Martin. Now open! and continuing to sell their one-of-a-kind accessories. “Our products are kind of unclassifiable, neither a brooch nor embroidery, military insignia, or badge. It’s not for a man or for a woman. It’s something at once funny, extravagant, masculine, that we treat in a really lighthearted way, ultra-modern but at the same time a bit retro.There is a kind of mash-up of codes that is unexpected and that we didn’t plan but came about quite naturally.” Meet her and Anne-Laure Lesquoy in Makers Paris, the book. 💥⚡️ #makersparis #mkrsfamily #lifeinparis #lifeonearth #backinbusiness #weareopen #parisisopen

If @veja is very much a digital brand, with one foot firmly in Brazil, their two Centre Commercial concept stores provide local anchor points in Paris, where the company is based. Here Veja demonstrates its inclusive spirit of collaboration, bringing together under one roof all sorts of brands, products, and people it loves, for a variety of reasons, but with a common trait of “transparency of production; they know where they manufacture, without it necessarily being something they make a big deal out of.” And late last year, Veja opened its first own-name boutique worldwide, Rue de Poitou, here in Paris. #makersparis #mkrsfamily #lifeinparis #lifeonearth photo 1: 📸 @carrie_in_paris

Introduced by Youssouf from @maisonchateaurouge and next in our makers’ chain, Sebastien and François-Ghislain, founders of the French organic and fair-trade sneaker brand @veja. Youssouf explains, “Veja inspired me because they are part of the first models of social enterprises that I saw in France … We share common values.” We interviewed Sebastien and François-Ghislain at their HQ here in Paris, where they explained that Veja means “look” in Portuguese, the language of Brazil, the country at the heart of the Veja adventure, where the company sources its raw materials and has developed unique supply chains in wild rubber and organic cotton. #makersparis #mkrsfamily #lifeinparis #lifeonearth. portrait photo: 📸 @carrie_in_paris
