Australian design house MAISON de SABRÉ has opened a pop-up at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, marking its first Paris appearance and celebrating eight years of extraordinary growth for the brand founded by brothers Omar and Zane Sabré.
The residency, running from October 25, 2025, to January 3, 2026, positions the self-funded label within one of the world’s most exclusive retail destinations — a milestone that cements its status as one of Australia’s most successful global luxury exports.
Since its founding in 2017, MAISON de SABRÉ has evolved from a personalised phone case start-up into a $100 million modern luxury business, now shipping to more than 150 countries.
Around 80 per cent of its sales come from international markets, proof that its clean, design-led aesthetic and commitment to craftsmanship have global appeal.
At the centre of the Paris showcase is The Palais, the brand’s flagship handbag and new icon. Conceived over eight years, its architectural form represents MAISON de SABRÉ’s shift from personalised accessories to the rarefied territory of luxury fashion.
“The industry loves to romanticise heritage,” says co-founder Zane Sabré. “But heritage doesn’t guarantee relevance. The Palais proves you don’t need a century of history to create something iconic – you need conviction, execution, and a brand people actually believe in.”
Brother and creative director Omar Sabré adds, “Hermès has the Birkin. We have The Palais.”
Following its global sell-out debut earlier this year, The Palais now leads the brand’s international assortment and signals its arrival in the global handbag market.
The Le Bon Marché installation features multiple sizes of the bag, alongside the full collection of handbags and small leather goods. A Charm Bar offering on-site personalisation brings the brand’s signature interactive retail experience to the Paris stage.
The pop-up follows a string of high-profile activations in Tokyo, New York and Milan, where MAISON de SABRÉ has demonstrated its ability to reinterpret traditional luxury through a modern, design-forward lens.
Its recent flagship experience at Tokyo’s Miyashita Park placed the brand alongside Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada and Balenciaga — a move that signalled its ambition to compete at the highest level.
Underpinning MAISON de SABRÉ’s rise is a quiet but resolute commitment to sustainability and responsible production. The brand sources all leather from Leather Working Group Gold-Rated tanneries, including a Dutch partner pioneering waterless tanning technology that saves up to 20 litres of freshwater per hide.
Its charm collections are crafted from upcycled leather offcuts, demonstrating that environmental awareness can coexist with luxury design.
For a brand that began in Australia with a single monogrammed accessory, the Paris debut at Le Bon Marché is more than a retail event. It’s a statement — that modern luxury can be born anywhere, thrive without legacy, and redefine craftsmanship for a global audience.

Rolls-Royce has revealed a new series of bespoke Cullinan motor cars inspired by the world of yachting, with four individually commissioned vehicles reflecting the materials, movement and design codes of life at sea.
Presented at Goodwood in the UK, the Cullinan Yachting collection comprises four one-off vehicles themed around the cardinal directions, North, South, East and West, each expressed through distinct exterior finishes and interior detailing.
The commissions lean heavily into maritime influence, a space Rolls-Royce says is closely aligned with its global client base.
Each vehicle features marine-grade teak, hand-painted fascia artwork inspired by the wake of a tender cutting through water, and intricate marquetry compass motifs made from more than 40 individual pieces of wood veneer.
Hand-painted elements have become an increasingly sought-after feature among Rolls-Royce clients, with the brand employing dedicated artisans to develop bespoke interior compositions.
For the Cullinan Yachting series, the painted wake effect required months of experimentation to achieve a natural sense of movement.
Inside, the vehicles are finished in Arctic White and Navy Blue leather, with hand-stitched detailing designed to echo the structure of nautical ropework. A signature Rolls-Royce Starlight
Headliner has also been reimagined, with fibre-optic constellations arranged to reflect Mediterranean wind patterns.
Each car’s exterior colour has been developed to align with its directional theme, ranging from lighter blue tones evoking northern waters to deeper hues referencing warmer southern seas and storm-lit horizons.
Rolls-Royce said the collection reflects a longstanding relationship between the marque and the world of yachting, dating back to its co-founder Charles Rolls, whose family owned a steam yacht and travelled extensively through the Mediterranean.
The release underscores the growing demand for highly personalised vehicles among ultra-high-net-worth buyers, with Rolls-Royce increasingly positioning its cars as part of a broader luxury lifestyle that extends beyond the road.
