othing compares to the early morning hours in Paris  -  the quiet rhythm of a city awakening, the first light touching stone, a day beginning to take shape.

Town squares have always held a particular meaning for me. More than physical spaces, they are the heart of a community  -  places of exchange, gathering, and creation, where life unfolds with ease and continuity. At the intersection of culture, commerce, and human connection, their role has endured for centuries, and has long been a source of inspiration.

It was during one of these familiar mornings in Paris that the idea of Place Castellaines emerged — not as a physical address, but as a place of convergence. A space where craftsmanship, design, and storytelling could meet, shaped by intention and care.

Place Castellaines is that place.
An address without walls, and the home of CASTELLAINES.

This house was conceived as a foundation for everything I wish to share  -  objects shaped by purpose, textiles that carry memory, and creations that celebrate beauty in its many forms. The first chapter unfolds through a collection of capes and collars, crafted with attention, proportion, and respect for the work behind them.

Though this maison exists online, its spirit is rooted in tradition, refinement, and imagination  -  a meeting point where design and life quietly converge.
