About us

Although I officially founded Maison Bum in 2023 (registered as Oliver Luxe LLC), I've been an avid collector of sneakers, streetwear, watches, designer, and vintage apparel for many years. Like many collectors, the passion for the product turned into a reslling side-hustle (how else could I fund my expensive taste?). After almost a decade working in corporate America (over half of those years for a major sportswear / fashion brand), I decided to take a risk and go full force into building my dream clothing boutique. This is just the start.

OUR COLLECTIONS

Although heavily curated, the pieces we sell consist of both contemporary and vintage pieces across a variety of different categories and price points. 

Quarterly, we plan on releasing lookbooks that include some of our favorite pieces from our current collection.

INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME

Maison - translates to "house" in French and a word often used by many of the legacy high-fashion houses/brands in europe. If you need more meaning, essentially what I'm trying to build with Maison Bum is a home or "house." To many (I realize this isn't a privilege afforded to everyone), a house is where we're most comfotable - where we can be our most authentic self. It's where we "house" or invite our most prized possessions; family, friends, pets, & prized collections. An invite to someone's crib is the ultimate invitation. That feeling of home, of comfort, is what I'm chasing; it's what I want want Maison Bum to represent.
Bum - nickname (basically his name at this point) of my mini australian shepherd, Oliver. Anyone aware of common mannerisms of mini aussies, know of their "wiggle-butts" (highly recommend searching on your social app of choice). This quickly inspired many nicknames that eventually evolved into "Bum." Oversharing now, but for those interested here's a simple flow-chart of it's progression:
wiggle butt --> waggle butt --> "get your butt over here" --> "get your bum over here" --> bum bum --> bum
Hence, Maison Bum aka House of Bum. Also, if we're being honest, it just sounds cool.

THE VISION

The focus right now is growing the brand and ecommerce business. Part of this plan is incorporating a consignment/selling program.

Once the foundation has been built the two main goals will be to:

  • build a physical boutique.
  • build an in-house line of apparel.

More information will follow as we progress (give us a follow on our socials), but right now we are fully focused on growing awareness and building the ecommerce business. Appreciate ya'll for pullin' up.
