La Maison Duret masters the Parisian art of making luxury belts

 It all started in the very chic 16th arrondissement of Paris, in a street named “rue Duret”, which hosted a little shoe repair workshop. Since 1988, Mickael Benaroch is known for his expertise in repairing high-end luxury shoes thanks to his knowledge acquired during his studies. One day, a client came in with a particular request, asking if Mickael could make a belt of a specific quality, such as those found in luxury shops. What a daring challenge! The young artisan, relying on his vast knowledge of leather craftsmanship, took up the mission and accepted the job. On this new path, he quickly discovered a calling, and became master of the skills needed for designing his very own creations.

La Maison Duret was born, offering customers looking for exclusivity, unique and customizable pieces, ranging from belts to leather cigar cases, as well as bags, handbags and wallets. From design to production, including manufacturing techniques, everything is developed and made at the Parisian workshop, with respect to the tradition of French craftsmanship. The self-taught designer was inspired to create his own patinas and thread colors, to meet the demand of his customers with exceptional products. Anyone who wishes to run away from uniformity or who is simply looking for splendid pieces that he can own, will most certainly be captivated by this intimate Parisian house.

Available worldwide, found not only in Paris, but in New York, London and Dubai, la Maison Duret dispenses the French touch all around the planet, so that women of the world can find the right fashion accessories to embellish their wardrobes. The Duret customer knows that luxury is all about details. What fills this need more than a beautifully made belt to shape a silhouette over a nice dress? Worn over a trench coat, a leather belt will redefine the silhouette for a highly fashionable look. Alternatively, on a masculine tailored herringbone jacket, a piece such as this will immediately add a very elegant effect.

La Maison Duret is most certainly an address to put in your little black book, if you wish to get a unique piece made just for you.
