SCANDALE, formerly Maison Close, turns fabric into feeling, balancing precision and provocation in a distinctly French expression of seduction. The name is new; the daring silhouettes, exacting construction, and sensual attention to detail remain.
SCANDALE is the new name of Maison Close, carrying forward the creative vision the house has shaped since 2006. Its lingerie approaches the body with an architectural sensibility: sculpted lines, engineered sheers, and deliberate details create pieces that feel modern, precise, and confidently provocative.
The new signature also revives the heritage of SCANDALE, the legendary French lingerie house founded in 1932. Under this name, Maison Close’s established universe continues unchanged, balancing structure and sensuality, shadow and transparency, and the freedom to reveal or suggest.
During the transition, our selection may include pieces labeled Maison Close alongside pieces labeled SCANDALE. The design vision, quality, fit, and attention to detail remain consistent. Maison Close, labeled styles are the final pieces from the house’s previous chapter and will not be reproduced under that name.

Expect confident silhouettes, graphic lace, engineered sheers, and embroidery that feels more architectural than ornamental. Precise construction, underwire, hardware, and clean lines create a distinctive tension between reveal and restraint.
SCANDALE continues the Maison Close fit and sizing approach. The collection follows European sizing standards, with sizes converted to US sizing for consistency across our boutique. Structure and fabrication may affect how individual styles feel; contact us for personalized fit guidance.
Maison Close is continuing under a new name: SCANDALE. The name comes from a celebrated French lingerie house founded in 1932, while the creative world Maison Close has shaped over the past twenty years carries forward. You can expect the same beautiful fabrics, precise construction, daring silhouettes, and provocative details.
You may find Maison Close and SCANDALE labels together while the new name is introduced. The Maison Close pieces are authentic final releases from the house’s previous chapter; newer pieces will begin to carry the SCANDALE signature.
The collection continues to follow European sizing, which we translate into US sizes for the boutique. Fit can vary slightly depending on the structure and fabric of a piece, so we are always happy to help you choose.
Think sculpted silhouettes, graphic lace, sheer fabrics, and unexpected details. The mood is distinctly French: confident and sensual, with an artful balance between revealing and leaving something to the imagination.
