As we eagerly await the opening of the Maison des Métiers d'Excellence in 2025, the time has come for Métiers d'Art to reclaim its prestigious spotlight in Paris. The LVMH division, which brings together the luxury giant's suppliers specialized in extraordinary raw materials, will also soon open its own establishment. This establishment will house its headquarters, crafts and showrooms.

The chosen place is a Haussmannian building dating from 1898, adorned with important masonry and crowned by a large glass roof with a metal structure. It is distributed over four levels and covers more than 500 square meters.

This facility will serve as the division's office and showcase for all the companies it represents, with showrooms. The concept is to welcome not only customers but also the general public. This new and prestigious address has been conceived as an open bridge to the city and the community, with the aim of fostering exchanges and commercial relationships, emphasizing the creativity that shines through the different categories and countries of the Métiers d'Art within the group, by bringing together the entire production process in one place.

Finally, the entity has established two partnerships with Japanese companies, first with the denim specialist Kuroki and more recently with Hosoo, the historic manufacturer of silk fabrics for kimonos.

In October last year, LVMH announced the creation of a Maison des Métiers d'Excellence aimed at preserving and passing on craftsmanship. Located in a historic building on Bayard Street, not far from the luxury leader's headquarters in the 8th arrondissement, the venue is expected to open in 2025.
