The history of the brand

“ MARTAUD was born from a personal quest: unisex outerwear that is comfortable, functional, timeless, offered at a fair price, and designed with both people and the planet in mind.

In a way, the beginnings of MARTAUD go back to 2014, when I was an au pair in London. Broke but freshly graduated with a degree in Fashion Design and full of ideas, I made myself a coat with large inside pockets — big enough to carry everything I usually kept in my bag. That way, I didn’t have to pay for the cloakroom when I went out dancing with my friends.

Back in Paris, after completing my studies and spending 10 years working in children’s fashion, it was time to grow up and take on a new challenge: to create a brand that reflects who I am and aligns with my values. A human-scale brand, committed to slow rather than fast fashion, with a more responsible approach to production.

In 2024, MARTAUD was born: a brand specializing in outerwear, also offering a few accessories made from the linings of our garments. A brand creating versatile, unisex, well-finished pieces designed to accompany you anywhere: on a seaside getaway, a stroll in the city, dinner at a restaurant, or simply a Sunday trip to the market or a flea market. Each piece is made to last, to be shared with your +1, and to be passed down through generations.

I hope you'll fall in love with MARTAUD - if you haven't already. ❤️ »
