About
Sophie Mechaly founded Paul & Joe in 1995. Born and raised in Paris, Sophie Mechaly was immersed in fashion from early childhood. She went to work with fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa at a young age, and after this experience, she joined "Le Garage", her parent’s company, known for its cult printed shirts in the 1980s.
In 1995, Sophie Mechaly launched her brand, Paul & Joe, named after her two young boys, Paul and Joe.
The designs are sold through own-brand stores and selected fashion stores in Europe. The eyewear frames and sunglasses reflect a unique blend of youthfulness, classic style and vintage. Sophie Mechaly has a flair for fine jewellery details and exquisite colours. There is a clear distinction between women's and men's frames.
