Maison de Carine

What Maison de Carine does

Maison de Carine is a privately held, US-based luxury tabletop and homeware retailer founded by Carine Krawiec, a veteran of the luxury bridal business who previously owned two bridal salons in Washington, DC. The company curates and sells designer dinnerware, flatware, drinkware, serveware, table-setting collections, and home accents sourced from international designers — primarily selected through the founder's direct sourcing in New York and Paris — and positions its assortment explicitly on a mix-and-match philosophy that allows patterns to be combined across brands. Its product portfolio spans individual pieces (plates roughly $55-$230), complete table-setting sets ($118-$1,452), and gift/home accent items ($32-$1,995), with a discount sample-sale channel layered on top.

The company monetizes through three primary revenue streams: one-time product sales (purchase of tableware, settings, gifts, and home accents via e-commerce and showrooms), event rentals of designer tabletop pieces to event professionals, and a transactional gift registry service for weddings and special occasions. Distribution is hybrid: a Shopify-based e-commerce storefront serves as the national channel, complemented by three appointment-only physical showrooms in Georgetown (Washington, DC), Union Square (New York City), and West Palm Beach, Florida, which deliver high-touch in-person styling appointments. The customer base is split between affluent consumer couples and gift buyers on one side and professional event planners and wedding designers (including named users such as Marcy Blum Associates, HMR Designs, Emily Clark Events, Lewis Miller Design, Tara Guerard Soiree, Calder Clark, and Lauryn Prattes Events) on the other.

Maison de Carine is a founder-owned, privately operated company with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, parent entities, or M&A activity. Marketing relies on organic social (Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook), email newsletters, and content marketing through its event portfolio/inspiration pages rather than paid acquisition channels of meaningful scale. The company does not develop proprietary technology beyond standard e-commerce and registry functionality.
