MAISON TESS: Authenticity Starts at Home
Why compromise style for comfort when you can have both? Maison Tess., named for founder Laura Nezri’s family, believes that your home should reflect your true self! That’s why their products are designed and developed for the couples and families of today. With linens that do better for you and for the planet, your rooms will come to life as an extension of you.
“The beauty is in the mess. Our fabrics all have rich wrinkles, and we like to keep it that way. We embrace it.” —Laura, Maison Tess. Founder
Maison Tess. products are designed in Montreal, and are then produced by a 4th generation family-owned manufacturer. As firm believers in the direct-to-consumer approach, Maison Tess. strives to provide shoppers with premium-quality products, complete transparency, and no middleman. That’s why they work with the most unique and high-end fabrics, using biodegradable dyes and ecofriendly, plastic-free packaging.
In a commitment to keep their carbon footprint low, Maison Tess. makes environmentally-friendly choices on a daily basis. Their manufacturers use solar panels that produce a percentage of their energy and re-use water and heat produced in a natural gas plant.
Maison Tess. is also proud to be part of the Better Cotton Initiative, which exists to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in, and better for the sector’s future. As well, Maison Tess. products are OEKO-TEX® Certified, free from harmful chemicals and safe for human use.
With the environment and a low carbon footprint in mind, Maison Tess. works on a pre-order basis, so that they can have products shipped to their warehouse twice a year only.
CULTIVATING MEANING
Maison Tess. works closely with local charities in the Montreal area, like Chez Doris, a women’s day shelter. Chez Doris provides women with essential services, like food, medical attention, mental health aid, and linens donated by Maison Tess.
For the launch of the Baby Tess. collection in 2019, Maison Tess. teamed up with Petites Mains, a Montreal-based shelter focused on helping women and children in need. With their help, Maison Tess. was able to produce crib sheets and pillowcases, recycling their washed linen fabric, and making a valuable contribution to women in need. Embrace the practicality that lies in the beauty of the mess - after all, your home should be a reflection of who you are, no filter needed.
