The Maison Poiray was established in 1975 by Franҫois Hérail and Michel Ermelin. It was named in honor of the historical French designer Paul Poiret. The House was successfully established in the heart of the famed Place Vendôme; focused on making elegant, fashionable jewelry pieces inspired by the Art Deco period with a touch of Parisian chic and a sense of joie de vivre that modern women find alluring.
The designs favor simplistic, clean shapes and lines, creating new forms of approved styles and motifs. The brand’s creations are characterized by scrolls, hearts, and gadroons; all of which are a combination of brilliant craftsmanship and bold gemstones. Features that are highlighted in their most prominent collections. The collection “My First”, for example, comes with a simple but elegant gadrooned bezel that is truly alluring. Apart from this refined look, there is a selection of interchangeable bracelets that can be conveniently matched with your outfit and your mood!
The brand has a strong understanding of feminine delight in being able to make adjustments to jewelry or watches. This sharp insight of the Maison is highlighted in its "Ma Préférence" collection; the stone placed within the ornament’s center can be conveniently replaced by one of a different color. Poiray is renowned for its beautiful “Intertwined Hearts” as well as its outstanding and timeless “Fiji” collection adorned with pearls; augmenting a sophisticated setting.
In 1980, the brand launched its first watch and, after a period of five years, came the “Ma Première” watch design which was an instant success; a sensational bestseller with interchangeable colorful and elegant straps. This characteristic of adaptability and customization of the brand’s jewelry and watch collections turned out to be impressive and tempting for clientele; making it possible to assemble a collection suited to them.
Undoubtedly, the designer’s style is evocative, charming, elegant, and sparky. Bringing forward an unconventional style; an unwillingness to dress in accordance with what everyone else wears. Poiray encourages its customers to adopt their own personal style; emphasizing their own sense of taste or individuality; enhancing feminine beauty and grace in every way on all occasions.
