This is where the Mkrs. adventure started.
Meet the artisans, artists and ideas people making Paris what it is today.
Makers Paris features more than forty people who are reshaping the world’s favourite shopping, culture and dining capital. Makers Paris takes you inside their businesses to show you how they invent, craft and sell their wares, and demonstrates in the process how each Maker’s own passions and talents splendidly intersect with their city’s hunger for style and substance.
Opening with a Polaroid of the Eiffel Tower, a homage to Paris by the artist and icon Patti Smith, the book also demonstrates how the city’s history and identity influences the destiny of the people who live and work here.
Each Maker links to the next with a personal introduction that reveals the connections of friendship, admiration, and collaboration underpinning this local creative community.

“This book is a love letter to Paris based not on the past but on a beautiful present.
It highlights outstanding artists, designers, and mavericks that are truly forging a new path in the City of Light. You will see Parisians of all ages and ethnicities praised for their unique talents and how those talents have ignited a new spark among the vibrant, creative class.
This is the REAL Paris: romantic, chic, gritty, diverse, modern, classic. Paris is always and never the same and this is the only book I’ve seen thus far that embraces that.
You will love it.”
