Maison de Vacances: French Ease for the Summer

There’s a particular kind of luxury that doesn’t shout—it whispers. A well-worn linen throw draped over a vintage chair, a pillow with the faintest sheen catching the afternoon light, a palette that reflects the sea, the sand, and the sun-bleached wood of a coastal cottage. This is the language Maison de Vacances speaks fluently. And this summer, their newest collection at Clic captures that effortless beauty with a fresh mix of tactile linens, subdued hues, and timeless French sensibility.

 

Maison de Vacances was born in Paris in the mid-1990s, founded by Emmanuelle Fouks and Nicolas Mauriac. From the beginning, the brand set out to redefine home textiles through a philosophy of thoughtful imperfection—rooted in the Japanese concept of wabi sabi, where the lived-in and slightly irregular is embraced as beautiful. Every pillow, throw, and textile from Maison de Vacances is made in France using natural materials like washed linen, silk velvet, and stonewashed cotton. Their collections blend rich textures with soft, tonal colors, creating pieces that feel elegant but never precious—perfectly at home in both a city apartment and a Hamptons beach house.

 

At Clic, we’ve long been drawn to this quiet kind of sophistication. Maison de Vacances has become a staple in our stores, especially when curating for the summer season. This year, their newest arrivals offer just the right mix of relaxed refinement for coastal living. Whether you’re styling a shingled cottage in the Hamptons, an airy living room on Martha’s Vineyard, or a boathouse on Lake Michigan, these pieces bring a sense of calm and comfort to any space.

 

Maison de Vacances excels in crafting linen that feels lived-in from day one. Their Crumpled Washed Linen Pillow in Panty is a standout this season—a soft blush tone that brings warmth without overwhelming, subtle enough to layer with any neutral palette. The linen has a relaxed, rumpled finish that feels inviting and sun-kissed, like a shirt you’ve worn all day at the beach.

 

Pair it with the matching Crumpled Linen Washed Throw in Panty, a generously sized layer perfect for cool summer nights. Available in multiple shades Blanc, perle, aqua, bonbon, creme—this throw is a versatile essential. It looks equally at home tossed on a porch swing in Sag Harbor or folded at the end of a guest bed in Cape Cod.

Maison de Vacances’ Wabi Sabi collection channels their philosophy of “casual elegance with soul.” These pillows blend tactile richness with tonal restraint, offering unexpected depth in their finishes.

 

The Wabi Sabi Pompadour Nude Pillow is a Clic favorite—its soft neutral hue has a faint shimmer that feels both rustic and refined. It layers beautifully with pale woods, white slipcovered sofas, and woven textures. For a deeper, moodier tone, the Wabi Sabi Pompadour Laurier Pillow introduces a rich green—evocative of moss, seaweed, or the shadowy corners of a sun-dappled forest. It’s an unexpected twist on a classic palette, ideal for adding dimension to a summer home that leans coastal but wants something a little less predictable.

 

Then there’s the Wabi Sabi Panthere Pillow— a bold leopard print without being loud. With a mix of warm tones and a slightly distressed finish, it brings a wild, elemental energy that’s perfect in a space filled with driftwood, rattan, and soft linen.

 

The Wabi Sabi Les Frises Pillow offers another take on texture—woven with a subtle strawberry pattern, it reads quiet and layered, almost like a favorite vintage textile passed down through generations. It’s the kind of piece that tells a story without ever needing to explain itself.

 

Sometimes, the simplest choice is the most elegant. The Vintage Canvas Linen Pillow in Blanc is a minimal masterpiece. Its clean white color and subtle texture make it the perfect base layer for any room. It’s crisp, classic, and endlessly versatile—ideal for a breezy bedroom in Nantucket or a clean-lined sitting room in the Hudson Valley. The vintage canvas offers durability without sacrificing softness, making it just as functional as it is beautiful.

 

This season, more than ever, we’re drawn to homes that feel personal, intentional, and alive with texture. Maison de Vacances invites you to create that feeling through touchable fabrics, subtle color, and the kind of understated luxury that never goes out of style.

 

Each piece in the collection is designed to mix, match, and evolve with the rhythm of your home—from the salt air of the ocean to the sun-drenched porches of Cape Cod. Whether you’re entertaining for the weekend, curling up with a book, or just letting the long days unfold, Maison de Vacances brings a quiet beauty to the everyday.
