Avel & Men, a house founded in January 2016 by Agnès and Xavier Broise, offers a range of leather goods and urban accessories for lovers of the sea and sailing.
The name Avel & Men ("the wind and the rock" in Breton) is the founders' nod to their childhood in Finistère.
Xavier is a sailing enthusiast who has been racing for many years in amateur competitions in France and abroad; for this adventure, he brought aboard his sister Agnès, who loves the Breton coast and design.
Avel & Men offers a range of products which, through its combinations of traditional and technical materials, lets sailors bring their sailing memories to the office. Magnificent Italian leathers sit alongside carbon fiber and the technical ropes found on racing boats: a subtle blend for a refined, urban result.
Available at OH Selection Paris and MisterChrono since last October, Avel & Men products (bags, belts, key rings, notebooks…) can be personalized with your boat's name or your sail number. Browse their catalog; you surely won't run short of gift ideas.
