About us

About us

2 Mai is a maximalist, colorful, made in France fashion brand for women and men that offers limited editions of garments made from upcycled materials.
A unique creative proposal that combines beautifully designed pieces and artistic textile composition to give life to strong, free, singular pieces that last over time.

It is through upcycling - the use of dead-stock or second-hand fabrics - that 2 Mai was born.
Forgotten treasures are reborn, celebrating memories and sharing the love of handmade and singularity.
The exclusivity and rarity of the proposal accompanies the brand's desire to give clothing a sentimental value.

The Varsity Jacket, which has become a timeless wardrobe item, was the first piece presented by the brand and will remain one of 2 Mai's iconic.
This piece paved the way for an urban wardrobe impregnated with color, bloom, abundance, poetry and multiculturalism that builds over time.

2 Mai, a limitless journey in perpetual reinvention.

After studying at Ecole Duperré and Institut Français de la Mode in Paris, Alice started her career as a freelance designer and consultant for various brands in Paris and New York. The diversity of her experiences gives her a 360° vision on fashion.
In 2018, Alice decided to put her creativity and values at the service of her commitment to fashion by giving life to 2 Mai Paris.

A colorful, flamboyant line, an ode to creation, culture, nature, humanity and adventure.
She shares with 2 Mai her poetic vision of "real life", seeks to celebrate popular culture by magnifying it and to bring to life an eclectic, decompleted, maximalist and embodied fashion.

Alice sees 2 Mai as a human adventure, made possible by talented people who build this story with her over time.

Born in Troyes, her belonging this ancient city of textile industry takes part in the global coherence of the project, since its genesis.
The idea of using upcycling comes from the dead-stock textiles available on the territory.
From its launch in 2018, until today, 2 Mai is proudly made in France, but first and foremost made in Troyes.

2 Mai was originally founded in collaboration with Benjamin Hanafi, who was also born le 2 Mai.
