Craftsmanship at the service of excellence.

At MAURICE, each collar is much more than a simple dog or cat accessory. It’s an exceptional piece, meticulously thought out, passionately crafted and designed to endure the years with elegance. But how is a MAURICE accessory created? Behind each model lies a unique know-how, a rigorous selection of materials and a detailed manufacturing process. Take a behind-the-scenes look at this exceptional creation.

Inspiration: style meets functionality

It all starts with an idea. Our designs are inspired by canine, feline and luxury trends, the animal and plant worlds, encounters and travels, not forgetting our three unique companions with whom we share our daily lives: Iggy, Pilgrim and Scarlett. A collar must be aesthetically pleasing but also functional, while ensuring the animal’s safety: it must combine comfort, resistance and durability. We study materials, colors and finishes that reflect MAURICE‘s DNA: sobriety, quality and refinement.

Inspiration also comes from our customers and their four-legged companions. Each model is designed to adapt to different breeds, morphologies and specific needs. We pay attention to the smallest details: the quality of the materials and the stories they tell, the width of the collar, the type of buckles and the feel of the leather under the fingers. This attention to detail is what gives MAURICE dog and cat accessories their unique, timeless character.

The selection of materials: a commitment to quality

Leather is at the heart of our collections. We choose top-of-the-range skins from the best tanneries, with a preference for vegetable tanning, a process that is more respectful of the environment and the health of our four-legged companions.

We do not use exotic leathers or furs. Our leathers come from recycled food industry waste. We also use upcycled leathers with which we tell another story. 

Each leather is tested to guarantee its resistance to wear, its suppleness and its pleasant feel. We opt for grained, smooth or nubuck finishes, depending on the desired effect. 

The buckles and rings, meanwhile, are made of gold-plated brass from one of France’s oldest foundries, for strength and aesthetics that meet luxury standards. We select materials that won’t rust or fade over time, guaranteeing optimum safety and comfort for your dog.

The manufacture of an exceptional accessory: precision work

Once the materials have been selected, it’s time for the manufacturing process. Each MAURICE accessory is handcrafted using traditional techniques. This approach guarantees impeccable French finishing and special attention to each piece.

• Quality control: each accessory is thoroughly inspected before shipping. We check the suppleness of the leather, the strength of the stitching and the fit of the buckles to ensure that each piece meets our standards of excellence.
• Leather cutting: precision and finesse are required to cut each piece to the exact dimensions. Our craftsmen use special tools to obtain clean, even edges.
• Assembly and sewing: we use high-quality threads, carefully sewn to ensure strength and impeccable finish. This saddle-stitching, done by hand or with high-precision machines, is a guarantee of durability.
• Slice dyeing: for an even, elegant finish, we like to dye our wafers by hand. This process is time-consuming, but guarantees a top-quality finish.
• Fitting accessories: buckles and rings are fitted with extreme precision, guaranteeing perfect safety for the dog. Every rivet and seam is inspected to avoid any risk of weakness.

Behind the scenes at MAURICE: the creation of an exceptional accessory

A MAURICE signature: between tradition and modernity

This attention to detail and commitment to quality make MAURICE collars, leashes, bowties, poop bag dispensers and harnesses much more than mere accessories for dogs and cats. They embody a timeless style and a constant quest for excellence made in France.

Our expertise combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. We are constantly exploring new techniques and materials to offer products that are ever more resistant, elegant and comfortable. Our collections evolve with trends, while retaining that touch of timelessness that is MAURICE‘s strength.

Choosing a MAURICE accessory: a responsible approach

Choosing a MAURICE accessory also means choosing a more responsible approach to consumption. Our materials are selected with care, favoring short circuits and tanneries that respect environmental standards. We believe in reasoned production, where each piece is made with care and without compromising on quality.

We also encourage the care of collars to prolong their life. Well-maintained leather develops a patina over time and becomes even more beautiful. That’s why we advise our customers to moisturize leather with suitable products and avoid prolonged exposure to water.

Everyday elegance

Behind every MAURICE collar is a story, know-how and a commitment to quality. Because dogs and cats deserve the very best, we do our utmost to create accessories that live up to the love we feel for them.

With MAURICE, elegance isn’t limited to humans. It’s worn proudly, attached to a neck, under a curious nose, and accompanies every step with distinction.

Each collar, leash, bowtie, harness and pouch is much more than a simple accessory: it’s a signature, a promise of quality and a symbol of refinement. When you give your companion a MAURICE accessory, you’re giving him an exceptional piece of jewelry, designed to last and enhance his look day after day.

MAURICE: a brand inspired by our three adorable four-legged creatures

MAURICE is much more than a French brand: it’s a love story, a shared adventure and teamwork between humans and animals, but above all, a tribute to the undying spirit of our French bulldog, dog ambassador and clown, Iggy, and our two cats, Ragoll and Birmancat mixed breed, Pilgrim and Scarlett. 

Thanks to them, we continue to dream, create, have fun together and grow, always in search of what brings the most happiness to those who, like Iggy, Pilgrim and Scarlett, make our lives better  and happier every single day.
