At the heart of the brand MARINA ANOUILH lies a simple yet powerful ambition: to give independent creators and emerging brands a stage, a platform, a voice. That ambition has taken shape in our new monthly rendez-vous, MAKER’S VOICE, conceived by Marina and her team. By inviting designers and artisans to share their personal journeys, inspirations, and behind-the-scenes secrets, we aim to foster genuine connections between the makers we admire and the people who wear their creations. In a world driven by fast fashion and digital marketplaces, MAKER’S VOICE brings us back to the stories, the hands, and the hearts that give meaning to every piece.
In our inaugural edition on March 27, we were honored to host Yasu, the Japanese designer and founder of MICHINO Paris. He unveiled his brand’s flagship handbag model, named LUTECE, and spent the day engaging with nearly fifty visitors in our Geneva boutique. For Yasu, Geneva holds special meaning: it was here that, as a teenager, he began learning French—a milestone he celebrated: “Coming back in Geneva today is kind of like a full circle.” You can find some impressions on our Instagram page.
A Monthly Celebration of Craftsmanship
Once a month during the high season, from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, guests are invited to wander freely through our boutique to meet our maker, with no purchase obligation and no pressure.
Whether you stay for ten minutes or two hours, you’re welcome to explore each collection at your leisure, sipping bubbly while conversing with the maker. This open-door format transforms retail into a relaxed salon, where spontaneous encounters spark inspiration and forge genuine connections. Each edition is a festive opportunity to witness craftsmanship in action. Furthermore, it’s about celebrating the creative spirit that fuels every stitch, cut, and detail.
Redefining Retail as a Space for Storytelling
In our hyper-digitalized age, in-person interactions are more vital than ever. Retail has evolved beyond transactions: it’s now a venue for meaningful dialogue, serendipitous meetings, and immersive experiences. Through MAKER’S VOICE, we reposition our boutique as a living forum—where clients and creators alike share narratives that enrich both commerce and community.
These kind of monthly gatherings play a meaningful role in the lives of shopkeepers and customers. For the designer, they offer firsthand feedback, fresh inspiration, and the intangible thrill of connecting face-to-face. For our clientele, they provide exclusive insights into a brand’s ethos, the opportunity to ask questions, and the chance to become part of a creator’s ongoing story. By bridging the gap between screen and storefront, we reaffirm the power of human connection in a world awash with pixels.
