arije

The Maison represents nearly 80 watch, jewellery and lifestyle brands in its globally renowned 1600 m2 flagship store in the heart of Paris.

arije, an adventure in perpetual motion, has been led by Carla Chalouhi for almost 30 years. This independent businesswoman took the duty-free empire left by her father, and built it into an internationally recognised company with close to one hundred employees. Of the 14 arije boutiques spread across France, the UK and Monaco, the jewel in the crown is the 1600 m2 flagship store in Rue Pierre Charron, Paris.

Back in 1995 the boutique was far more modest, with just four members of staff. Carla Chalouhi quickly saw the potential, and set about instilling her company with the values that would set it apart: an innovative vision; a very high standard of personal service, in the spirit of the conciergeries of top hotels; a sense of hospitality pushed to the pinnacle of refinement; and an inclusive approach to luxury, where the open and welcoming architecture encourages keen collectors to discover and learn the art of jewellery and watchmaking.

Around the turn of the 21st century, this reimagined vision of luxury began to win over some big hitters: Rolex, Cartier, Audemars Piguet, Bulgari, Piaget, Breguet... all became loyal partners alongside the most prestigious names in leather goods, perfumery, art, writing instruments...

Today, arije comprises 14 multi-brand and mono-brand stores in addition to its 1600 m2 flagship store, which covers three stories and stretches across two Parisian townhouses.
