About Paramaz
Welcome to PARAMAZ, a workshop, leather goods store, and café located in the heart of Paris.
Founded on the expertise of Hagop Markarian—an Armenian leather craftsman born in Lebanon, trained from childhood in the family leather goods and shoe workshop in Beirut—PARAMAZ celebrates artisanal heritage with a contemporary twist.
PARAMAZ is the first Parisian leather goods workshop to combine a boutique and a café under one roof, located at 25 rue Hérold in the first arrondissement.
Founded by Hagop Markarian, an Armenian leather craftsman of Lebanese origin who learned the trade at a young age in his family's leather goods and shoe workshop in Beirut, PARAMAZ combines the spirit of traditional Beirut workshops, the finesse of Armenian craftsmanship, and the natural elegance of French design.
Dedicated to preserving cultural heritage, PARAMAZ combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.
At PARAMAZ, craftsmanship and creativity come together, inviting visitors to step behind the scenes of the workshop, discover how each piece is made, and enjoy a cup of coffee.
