Maison Originals is a timeless workwear brand dedicated to creating high-quality workwear, accessories, and lifestyle essentials for cultural and creative professionals.

Our design philosophy is rooted in the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship—particularly the Shokunin ethos of mastery through purposeful work—while also drawing from the enduring legacy of French utility garments and global workwear traditions. Though globally inspired, every piece is thoughtfully designed for the climates, cultures, and creative economies of Africa.

We serve a growing community of independent artists, designers, makers, and creative professionals who seek more than just clothing—they seek tools that enhance their craft and reinforce their identity. Our products are purposefully designed to meet the needs of daily creative work while maintaining a strong sense of personal style and cultural relevance.

We are also deeply committed to ethical production practices. All our garments are produced in small quantities to minimize waste and maintain exceptional quality.

We work primarily with deadstock and end-of-roll fabrics, ensuring that each piece not only avoids contributing to overproduction but also makes use of materials that would otherwise go unused.

Our collections are crafted using natural fibres such as 100% cotton, linen, ramie, and wool—fabrics chosen for their durability, comfort, and lower environmental impact. We design for timelessness rather than trend, creating pieces meant to last and evolve with their wearer.

Maison Originals ultimately exists to empower creators to do their best work. By merging form and function, tradition and innovation, and ethics with aesthetics, we provide garments and tools that reflect the dedication, discipline, and soul of the modern-day artisans.
