Nigh on three years: that's how long Maison Fabre had to wait before they found the perfect spot to set up their first Parisian store. But then Olivier Fabre, the fourth generation of Fabre glovers, had only one place in mind: the Palais Royal - and on the Galerie de Valois side, because it faces the sun.

Architect Guy Falco, who redesigned the workshops of the Millau headquarters in 2005, imagined a cozy  interior decoration for this space, animated by the gloves standing to attention in their backlit niches. In the windows, gloved hands, as if in conversation, catch the eye. They're like a clique of socialites at a masked ball, pointing out the passersby with insolence, parading in their glistening dresses. Once inside, the dissipation fades away as calm and subdued elegance take precedence. A long research on color was necessary to reach the perfect scheme (taupe, bronzed coffee, white and steel), one that matches the moods of the Gardens outside, their grace when the sun shines and spleen under the snow or clouds.

The perfectly organized 20 m² of Maison Fabre's first shop in Paris offer up the entirety of the brand's collections, for men, women, and kids. And if you can't find the right item among the dozens of references, it's now possible to have an individual pair made to measure.
