As we enter a new year, it's a good time to take stock of the advances and highlights of 2018.

We opened our first showroom at Heureux Comme un Prince at 41 rue de la Charité in Lyon's^2nd arrondissement.
Opening this boutique enabled us to meet you, to make the adventure more human by putting faces to emails and names, and also to tell our story to all the people passing through Lyon.

The launch of tote bags and phone covers has enabled us to diversify the Maison FT range, as requested by a number of you. Maison FT can now be worn very discreetly by those who believe in the "I don't wear flashy brands" movement, which is growing fast and which we think is very relevant!

Another highlight was the signing of a partnership with Galeries Lafayette in November 2018. You can find our wonders at Galeries de Rosny-sous-Bois and soon in new outlets.

Being fans of electro music, we were delighted to collaborate with Cocorico Electro in dressing the festival staff. This music festival held at the Château de la Ferté-Saint-Aubin is a delight! As a little bonus, we were able to meet you on our Maison FT stand; what could be better than chatting with the great Feder against a musical backdrop?

Taking part in the Mif Expo trade show (also known as the Made in France trade fair) was another highlight of our year. Between meeting the sales challenge (with flying colors) and very interesting discussions with enlightened consumers, we really enjoyed the event. So much so, in fact, that we're taking a stand twice as big this year...!

As you can see, 2018 has been a year rich in emotions, discoveries and exchanges... With ups and downs of course, otherwise it wouldn't be funny...We still hope it continues on the same path for this new year. With a maximum of ups anyway J

And finally, not resolutions, but goals! We intend to make a name for ourselves in the world of ethical clothing, to make fashion healthier and more serene. To achieve this, we're aiming to be sold in 60 points of sale by the end of the year; we're currently at 39. We'll also be taking part in a number of events linked to these new ways of consuming, mainly in Lyon and Paris. This will be an opportunity to discuss with new players in a world in transition.

We wish you all a very happy and fulfilling 2019!

The entire Maison FT team
