Apparel & Fashion - , Hong Kong, China
Born and raised in Paris, the two French ladies behind Makaron –Catherine & Charlotte- have been attracted by design and fashion since an early age. Charlotte's grandmother, formally a model for Coco Chanel, transmitted to her granddaughter her flair for fashion and refined taste. Catherine's inspiration comes from her mothers' passion for Yves St Laurent, geometrics shapes, irresistible bold mix of colors and luxurious fabrics. Due to their Parisian childhood and education, the two ladies developed both their sense of elegance and Parisian chic style. Catherine settled in Asia in 2006 and launched the brand Makaron in Hong Kong in 2010. Her project was to create essential home products that weren't easily available locally, reasonably priced and at the same time to match her taste. Therefore her first line consisted of tablecloths, zesty children quilts and bed linens. With the same idea in mind she branched out her collection with an exciting new line of outdoor accessories: each piece - practical yet beautiful and stylish! Such as waterproof pouches in ideal sizes and irresistible zigzag picnic mats. Charlotte, who joined the brand in 2012, shares the same creative vision: chic but casual. 2013 was the launch of a new collection of accessories for multi-tasks women who, like Catherine and Charlotte, want to simplify their busy life: a palette of contemporary pouches and totes, all in a warm kaleidoscope of color and pattern. Makaron is a story of multiplicity, strong colors, energy and attention to detail. By combining influences from both Western and Asian cultures, the contrasting style gives a unique and sparkling touch to all of their creations. Makaron is always on the lookout for high quality fabrics, using bold colors combinations to create eclectic and exclusive collections. "Makaron is all about making the useful become delightful".
