Avel & Men

Avel & Men is the beautiful story of a brother and sister both passionate about the open sea and watches. Gathered together in 2016 around a project aimed at linking these two passions, they have created a brand specialising in watch accessories inspired by the world of sailing. To do this, they are targeting a chic urban clientele with a passion for vintage watches and beautifully handcrafted accessories. Embark with them on their crazy adventure to discover these quality products which are made in France by the finest craftsmen. At the origins of Avel & Men are Xavier and Agnès Broise, a brother and sister as passionate as they are complementary. Xavier is the sailor among the siblings, an amateur navigator who spends as much time as possible racing. His other passion is antique watches. It is therefore not surprising to find these two themes as the brand's DNA. Agnès, for her part, studied interior design and is entrepreneur. She has this sensitivity to beauty that she keeps on sharpening through the design fairs she loves and represents. Together they created Avel & Men in 2016, a generalist leather goods brand focusing on the sea and boating world. At least, that's the image they had of their project at the outset. Little by little, their desires became reality and ateliers were found. All the elements then overlapped and the initially generalist intention gradually turned into a brand with a strong and affirmed identity. Avel & Men now has strong roots in the nautical sector and specialises in the world of watchmaking! The catalogue includes a wide range of watch accessories: leather watchstraps, sailcloth watchstraps, watch cases and watchrolls. The range can be purchased online and orders are delivered worldwide.
