The Riviera as Inspiration: Between Sun, Design, and Freedom

There is a unique light in the Riviera.

The kind that illuminates late afternoons in Nice, the small ports with striped umbrellas, the vintage swimsuits, and the bare feet on sun-baked pebbles.

It is this atmosphere — free, radiant, unapologetic — that Maison Flamant captures in its signature sandal: the Mauresque.

1. Riviera Style: Casual Elegance

Born between the 60s and 70s, Riviera fashion blends minimalism with discreet sensuality.

Clean cuts, breathable materials, sun-drenched colors, and the idea of walking at your own pace — without constraints.

At Maison Flamant, we channel this spirit through:

• striped bands that recall beach lounge chairs,
• warm colors (yellow, orange, khaki) and azure blue inspired by Mediterranean shutters,
• a desire to enhance the body's natural movement, without artifice.

2. A Sandal Designed to Go the Distance

The South isn’t just a backdrop: it’s a way of life.

You walk on pebbles, stroll along the seaside, and slip on your sandals without looking, because you are eager to live.

The Mauresque was designed to accompany this daily life that is both shifting and gentle:

• Easy to slip on thanks to its side elastics,
• Lightweight, breathable, adapted to hot surfaces,
• And robust enough to go from the sea to the city without faltering.

3. Ethics Without Compromise

Drawing inspiration from the Riviera, yes — but without ignoring today’s challenges.

Maison Flamant combines this joyful nostalgia with a commitment to sustainability:

• Natural cork for the insole: healthy, lightweight, biodegradable.
• Recycled EVA for grip and comfort.
• Recycled textile for the upper, soft on the skin as well as the planet.

The Riviera is an invitation to slow down, to live outdoors, to walk with the wind in your hair.

The Mauresque is a contemporary response to it: elegant, comfortable, respectful.
