Henri VALENTIN opened a small atelier on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré with a vision: to create garments so finely crafted they would outlast the trends that spawned them. His first collection consisted of seven pieces, each requiring over 180 hours of work.
Henri's son, Philippe, expanded the Maison internationally, opening salons in New York, Tokyo, and Milan. Despite growth, each location maintained the same exacting standards as the Paris atelier.
Margaux VALENTIN took creative direction, introducing subtle contemporary influences while preserving the Maison's foundational principles. She introduced the now-iconic La Jardins collection in 1997.
Today, under the guidance of Margaux's daughter, Camille, VALENTIN continues its commitment to exceptional craftsmanship while embracing sustainable practices and materials without compromising on quality.
Our garments are created by artisans who have spent decades perfecting their skills. Each specialist—pattern makers, seamstresses, embroiderers—represents a living link to traditions that cannot be replicated by machines.
Fabric specialists who source and select only the finest materials from mills in Italy, Scotland, and Japan.
Pattern cutters whose precision ensures each piece fits with surgical accuracy.
Embroiderers who add hand-finished details requiring up to 40 hours per piece.
