Have you ever considered leaving your beloved comfort zone and your daily routine, in order to finally achieve one of your precious childhood dreams? The one, that you always have known, would make you really happy, fulfilled and proud of yourself. A big, challenging and life-changing decision to make, that requires one to be self-confident, especially bold and, of course, absolutely ready for it. As was Claire Dujardin, a Cameroon-Born and Lille-Based French new entrepreneur and female founder with a long experience in Fast Fashion. The unexpected and historical lockdown set up by governments in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemics of Covid-19, turned out to be a true blessing for millions of people, who totally rethink their personal and professional priorities. Claire was one of them. She suddenly felt the need to slow down and listen to her heart. During those long months spent at home, she realized that time has come for her to follow her long-lasting passion for bags and dedicate herself fulltime to a more stimulating and personal project, she had in mind for a long time. As creation has always been part of her DNA since she was a child, she decided to establish her own luxury leather goods brand, called Maison Britt, a friendly invented name, close to her first name Brigitte, and a nickname often used by some of her friends. Starting from scratch and alone- she told her family only once the brand was launched-, was quite hard, but she never gave up. Because she strongly believes in this project, she put all her energy and devotion into it. The whole work behind the scenes, which lasted a few years before the official launch of December 2022, was almost epic, as she remembered it with a smile. Claire travelled by herself to Spain to canvass the best and expert manufacturer, which would accept to produce the entire collection. At that moment, the brand was not yet a reality, just a beautiful project on paper. Nevertheless, thanks to her determination, she was lucky enough to find the perfect one for her, convince him and start the business. It was quite emotional and an unforgettable experience attending live to the production 'work in progress' of one bag. 'Hand-made in Spain' with care by experienced craftsmen, the first exclusive collection is called 'Ozée', in reference to the French verb 'oser', which means to dare. It is available in a limited edition of only 100 pieces. It is a warm invitation to all the women to be bold, follow their dreams and stand out of the crowd. Designed by a passionate, creative, committed, active and brave woman, the bags 'Clara' and 'Maria', named after her and her Mother- are characterized by a modern and refined design; they are multi-functional and perfect for any occasion. So you just need to change your outfit, not your bag. Every handle, made of resin, is a unique piece. As clients are already asking for wallets, it is possible, that some other accessories could be soon available. Claire has chosen Quality over Quantity. Slow Fashion over Fast Fashion. Her new entrepreneurial and virtuous journey is resolutely a source of inspiration. A proof that nothing ventured, nothing gained. Happiness can be just around the corner. You just have to take your chance and let's give it a try.
