Marie Mercié

Marie Mercié is a French designer and namesake brand known for imaginative hats handmade in Paris. Founded around three decades before the launch of its “Etats d’âmes” collection, the brand has built its identity around distinctive designs for elegant customers with a playful, unconventional spirit. Marie Mercié continues to create the collections herself, bringing a bold and irreverent sense of creativity to her work.

The brand has expanded beyond hats into bags and clutches, carrying its characteristic flair into new accessories. “Etats d’âmes” marks the first collection in this new direction. The pieces are modeled and made in the Parisian workshops that have worked with Marie Mercié since the brand’s beginnings, maintaining a longstanding connection to local craftsmanship. With support from her creatively minded children, Marie Mercié has also adapted the business for a more modern era, distributing its products online. The result is a Paris-based label combining handmade production, expressive design and a growing range of accessories.
