La Maison Générale has expanded its retail offerings by now carrying Mapoésie, a Parisian lifestyle brand founded by designer Elsa Poux.
Mapoésie is recognized for its graphic universe, bold prints, and travel-inspired aesthetic, with collections spanning accessories, home décor, and ready-to-wear apparel crafted from natural materials like cotton, silk, and wool. The selection available at La Maison Générale includes several distinctive pieces. One is the Pollen Scarf in blue, which is made from lightweight cotton voile and can be styled in multiple ways around the neck, in the hair, or as a bag accent. Another noteworthy offering by the Parisian lifestyle brand is Sol Fouta Towel, a high-quality cotton piece that embodies Mediterranean simplicity and refinement. The Palao Poésie Dress in coral, on the other hand, features a delicate cloud-inspired pattern and offers dual functionality, as it can be worn as a flowing maxi with wide sleeves or adjusted to a strapless silhouette through its elastic neckline.
