L'Histoire de CLAUDE PRÉVAL
CLAUDE PRÉVAL, the prestigious French luxury fashion house, was born from the deeply personal vision of its founder, Claude Préval. Raised by French and Haitian American parents, Claude’s early years were steeped in the arts, deeply admiring the sophistication and style of French culture. While studying architecture and engineering in Boston, he envisioned merging his creative instincts with the timeless elegance of French craftsmanship. Upon returning to Paris, he began designing bespoke accessories for friends and family, sketching minimalist designs and sourcing premium materials locally. This modest beginning paved the way for a brand destined to redefine modern luxury.
In those formative days, Claude worked from a humble Parisian studio, refining his designs with hand-drawn sketches and mood boards that expressed his dedication to minimalist elegance and timeless craftsmanship. What started as a creative experiment grew into a celebrated label, transforming the landscape of luxury fashion. Guided by the philosophy of “L’opulence sans excès” (Opulence without excess), the fashion house blends sustainability, meticulous craftsmanship, and understated elegance. Today, CLAUDE PRÉVAL is synonymous with sophistication and modern artistry, offering a fresh perspective on Parisian design.
L'Influence de l'Héritage
CLAUDE PRÉVAL draws its strength from the deep well of French heritage and culture, inspired by Paris’ rich diversity, timeless elegance, and art de vivre. The Préval family’s strong historical roots in France made it only fitting for the brand to bear the founder’s name, a tribute to both his French Haitian identity and his familial legacy. Claude wanted his brand to reflect his ambitions while honoring his heritage, ensuring it would leave a lasting impact on luxury fashion.
Working closely with renowned Parisian ateliers, Claude ensures that every design adheres to sustainable and ethical standards at each stage. He personally selects materials, oversees prototypes, and refines the smallest details—custom shapes, textures, and finishes—to ensure every piece meets his exacting standards. This meticulous approach, combined with innovative techniques, allowed his designs to stand out in the luxury market, blending Parisian craftsmanship with contemporary sophistication.
