What MAISON FÉVRIER does

Maison Février is a historic Parisian feather atelier (plumasserie) founded in 1929, recognized as the last feather atelier in the world located in the heart of Paris. The company operates from a 600m2 atelier at 82 Boulevard de Clichy in the 18th arrondissement, employing 7 artisans who specialize in traditional handcrafted feather work for haute couture fashion houses and entertainment venues. Its core offerings are Plumasserie (feather adorning services) and bespoke Ostrich Boas, both produced entirely by order through its Paris atelier using traditional techniques combined with CAD software for design precision.

The company serves luxury fashion houses (Dior, Valentino, Hermès, Schiaparelli, Berluti, LOEWE, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler) and entertainment venues (Moulin Rouge since 1957, Lido, Folies Bergères). Its flagship client relationship is with Moulin Rouge, for which Maison Février produces and maintains approximately 300 feather costumes used daily and 3,000 meters of feather boas annually for the Féerie show. All products are bespoke and made-to-order with no e-commerce channel; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by feather type, color, shape, density, and length.

Maison Février is a Société par actions simplifiée (SAS) owned by the Moulin Rouge group since 2009, when the acquisition was structured to preserve traditional craftsmanship. The company holds the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) designation from the French government and maintains CITES compliance for ethical feather sourcing. Its go-to-market is high-touch enterprise sales by appointment at the Paris atelier, with marketing rooted in heritage, craftsmanship, and visual content showcasing named couture collaborations.
