DESIGNER MENSWEAR & ACCESSORIES
Founded in 2011, the House of PAUL DAVIS has earned a reputation for men’s suiting and outerwear. Blending the best of European craftsmanship with the designer’s fresh Canadian perspective, the collections are clean, modern & refined.
DESIGNER
Paul grew up on the west coast of Canada among the old-growth forests and the Pacific Ocean. He absorbed the influences of British and French colonial style, most evident in the grand railway hotels that dot the country.
The opulence and refinement of these worlds inspired his sense of sophistication and style, while their location in the wild, untamed surroundings forged a connection with nature and the vast landscapes of the Great White North.
After studying fashion in Montréal and Paris, Paul landed in a legendary atelier overlooking the Place Vendôme. Working for the House of Schiaparelli, he was introduced to a world of high fashion and surrealism. It was here that he was inspired to found his own fashion house a few years later...

HOUSE
JOSEPH HAYDN PALAIS
The House of PAUL DAVIS is located in the historic Joseph Haydn Palais.
Built in 1887, the building’s famous spiral staircase, designed by Gustave Eiffel, has fascinated visitors and residents alike for generations. The original craftsmanship, parquet flooring, marble, mouldings and ceramic fireplaces lend a unique charm to our creative spaces. The neighbouring Tiergarten, with its sprawling green landscapes and tranquil setting, offers an unmistakeable calm inside a bustling city.
For decades, the Joseph Haydn Palais has been a haven for countless artists and creative minds. We strive to continue in this artistic tradition, nurturing the same ethos in our atelier, bringing new momentum and vigour for the future.

SAVOIR FAIRE

In the same spirit, we craft all of our products in Europe, seeking out manufacturers with traditional expertise and a dedication to detail. A closely-knit family of European craftsmanship is at the heart of what we do.
ICONS
MANTEAU CANADIENNE
A military classic, the Canadienne found its fame in Nordic countries. Typically crafted from leather with a shearling collar, it was a favourite of the intellectual set, most notably Jean-Paul Sartre and the creatives of the left bank in Paris. The PAUL DAVIS Canadienne is adapted for today, modern and understated, a true menswear classic.
PARKA
Before its popularity with British mods and use in the military, the earliest versions of the parka stem back to the Inuit people of the Canadian Arctic. Originally crafted from a lightweight, waterproof material from either seal or caribou, heavier variations arose to combat the cold climate. An important piece of every collection, the PAUL DAVIS Parka finds a balance between sporty and refined, offering the best in rain-repellent features, while lending itself to warmth and comfort in winter.
DESJARDINS, VILLENEUVE & RICHELIEU SUITS
PAUL DAVIS is dedicated to the highest form of men’s tailoring. It is at the heart of the modern man’s wardrobe. Be it the slim-fit Desjardins, the classic Villeneuve or the hand-tailored Richelieu, the suiting collection offers an aesthetic of effortless sophistication for any occasion. From young artists to heads-of-state, we are indeed honoured to suit-up many of the world’s the most dynamic and prominent personalities.
