Brand Profile
INNOVATIVE BAGS AND SATCHELS CONCEPT
THE STORY OF A PASSION FOR CYCLING
It all started in 1907 in Bordeaux, where Gabriel Faret founded Cycles FARET, quickly establishing MAISON FARET as a major player in the region. He also became one of the first sponsors of the Tour de France.
In 1920, the company diversified into the manufacture of bags, accessories, oilskins and raincoats for cyclists. Under the leadership of Gabriel, then his son Michel, MAISON FARET prospered, employing up to 500 people in the 1970s.
INNOVATIVE BAGS AND SATCHELS CONCEPT
A century later, his grandson and his partner Gilles Cirelli relaunched MAISON FARET with an innovative bag concept for urban mobility. They create and develop a collection of premium bags, small leather goods and accessories.
The bicycle bags concept developed by MAISON FARET and inspired by the world of cycling meets the needs of all city dwellers.
AN 8 IN 1 CONCEPT
The MAISON FARET bags concept offers 8 ways to carry your bag or attach it to your bike. This 8-in-1 concept is made possible by the “Faret Bordeaux France” leather plate, into which straps can be attached to secure the bag to the bike, or into which a belt can be slipped to wear the bag around the waist. The straps and belt are removable.
