A BRAND BORN OUT OF A MEMORY AND A VISION
MEET AJIRI: Creator of Madame de la Maison
Hi, I’m Ajiri.
I created Madame de la Maison because celebration is in my DNA.
I am Nigerian and my folks love to party. Their guest list is full of family, friends, and even welcomed party crashers. As long as there's food, music and good vibes, they’re happy. I learned from an early age there is power in gathering around a table and sharing with others.
After university in Texas, I moved to New York where I worked as a stylist and on fashion exhibitions for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of the City of New York. At this time, I found a group of Mexican girls with a similar DNA. Mexicans love a good celebration too! The ten years I lived in New York were full of wine- filled weekly festivities. Every Thursday no matter what was happening in my life, I met with my latin crew for “Juevesitos”: food, drinks, dancing, and chats. Some of the happiest and most memorable moments of that decade took place on a Thursday.
I left New York and moved to Paris, married, and started a family. Paris brought me many treasures but I missed that sense of community and joy that I derived from weekly fellowship with others. So, I decided to bring it back! I created Madame de la Maison to put the spotlight back on the table and help others to do the same.
Here’s my encouragement for you: Gather around the table and celebrate life with beautiful things whenever possible. Never wait to use your best pieces.
Life is short. Joie de vivre starts today, darlings !
