The House
of LUXE

Thirty years of uncompromising dedication to beauty, craft, and the art of dressing well.

Our Origin

Born from a love
of the exceptional

LUXE was founded in 1994 on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré by Élise Vauclaire, a Nigerian couturière who believed that every person deserved access to clothing that spoke of true craftsmanship — not merely the illusion of it.

Starting with a singular atelier and three master tailors, LUXE has grown into a globally recognised house while retaining the intimacy and attention to detail that defines everything we make. Each season, our curators travel to the finest mills in Japan, Italy, and Scotland to source materials that are, quite simply, the best in the world.

We are not interested in trends. We are interested in permanence.

What We Stand For

Our Values

01

Craftsmanship

Every stitch, seam, and silhouette is executed with the precision of a master artisan. We work exclusively with ateliers that share our obsession with perfection, many of whom have been our partners for over two decades.

02

Material Integrity

We refuse to compromise on material. Our silks come from Lyon, our wools from Biella, our cashmere from the highlands of Inner Mongolia. If the material is not the finest available, it does not carry the LUXE name.

03

Responsibility

True luxury and true responsibility are inseparable. We are committed to fair wages, ethical sourcing, and reducing our environmental footprint — because beauty should never come at someone else's expense.

04

Timelessness

We design for decades, not seasons. Our pieces are investments — created to be worn, loved, altered, and passed down. We measure success not by volume sold but by how long our pieces are kept.
