<h2><strong>The Collections</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center">.</p>
<p><strong>Au Grand Air</strong></p>
<p>The flagship products of Maison AU, Au Grand Air cuffs are supple and light. Thanks to the windows cut in the material, they have a <strong>strong visual impact while being airy</strong> when worn. The straight edge finish gives them a radical, authentic and refined look.</p>

<p style="text-align:center"><em>.</em></p>
<p><strong>Au petit Jour</strong></p>
<p>With their fine one or three-turn links, Au Petit Jour bracelets are worn very naturally from morning to night. <strong>Discreet and timeless</strong>, their originality is expressed sometimes by the velvet touch of nubuck, sometimes by the versatility of their reversible nature. The gold version, hand-gilded with fine gold, is undoubtedly the most refined.</p>

<h2><strong>Sweet France</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center">.</p>
<p><strong>Manufacturing</strong></p>
<p>Maison AU accessories are handcrafted near Vichy in a fine leather goods workshop, with a standard of finish equivalent to the great names in French luxury.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/731558/6723dc6a-33aa-4c66-8beb-d55c07721b47.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p>The leathers are assembled by gluing, without stitching, to obtain a minimalist and contemporary look. A reinforcement is trapped inside, to avoid any deformation and elongation with use.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/731562/1242a2f8-a0cb-470f-8331-7ff5ba9d70eb.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center">.</p>
<p><strong>Sourcing</strong></p>
<p>From leather to packaging, all components come from France (99%) or Italy (1%)</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/731397/4cc9acfd-1738-4130-a4fd-434a082bd9f0.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center">.</p>

<h2><strong>Tailor made</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center">.</p>
<p><strong>Sizes</strong></p>
<p>In order for the cuff or bracelet to fit perfectly on your wrist for aesthetics and practicality, five standard sizes, each 5mm apart, are available. They cover wrists measuring between 14 cm and 17,5 cm. </p>
<p>The products are not adjustable, so it is important to measure your wrist size (see FAQ how to choose my size?).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Tailor made</strong></p>
<p>Apart from these sizes, it is possible to have a piece made to order, perfectly made to measure, for an additional cost of five euros, free for the KissKissBankBank campaign.</p>

<p>Aurore, Maison AU creator</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/731329/72dd0311-371e-4042-a9d0-0c49917cc796.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p>"With a background in economics and marketing and 20 years of experience in the outdoor textile industry as a <strong>brand manager</strong>, in 2020 I decided to follow an inside voice that wanted to create my own leather goods brand. </p>
<p>I wasn’t predestined for leather, but this noble material has always attracted me by its smell, its suppleness, and its grain.</p>
<p>I started with the idea of transposing <strong>my knowledge of textiles to leather </strong>and to give life to supple, light and fitted cuffs, comfortable like a second skin.</p>
<p>Exploring my own creativity then venturing out to meet other craftsmen - experienced and authentic people who create with their hands - only deepened my motivation to start my "Tour de France" and manufacture close to home. </p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>"My desire:</strong></p>
<p><strong>To create fashionable,</strong></p>
<p><strong>modern and timeless accessories: </strong></p>
<p><strong>Essential Accessories. "</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center">.</p>
<p><strong>My mission</strong></p>
<p>Simplify your life with a stylish and functional jewelry accessory that is easy to put on and take off. Perfectly adjusted to your wrist and made of exceptional leather that will gently patina over time, it will become your second skin.</p>
<p style="text-align:center">.</p>
<p><strong>My vision</strong></p>
<p>Beyond the accessory, I dream of allowing women to <strong>shine</strong>, to <strong>assume</strong> several facets of <strong>their personality</strong> by reinventing their own style every day.</p>
