Maison Noel was born from a lifelong love of France.

Founder Noel Veloz, born in the Bronx NY and proudly Dominican American, was first inspired by the film Rugrats in Paris as a child, which sparked his dream of visiting Paris and falling in love with the city. He also inherited a passion for craftsmanship from his father, a skilled handbag maker and tailor.

In 2024, during his first trip to Paris, Noel founded Maison Noel at the Palais Royal with a vision to create a brand that brings Paris lovers together and builds a global Paris community around the world. He realized that many people around the world love Paris, but no brand was creating a true community around it.

Maison Noel is a brand created to build a Paris community through hats made in Paris, sharing the spirit, elegance, and dream of Paris with the world.

Today, Maison Noel carries the spirit of Paris across the globe, building a community of Paris lovers, one hat at a time.
