Get up to 20% back on Maje in Europe with your VAT refund. Basalt Leather Jacket, Romantic Lace Dresses, Tailored Blazers across 11 stores. Paris flagship.
Founded in 1998 by Judith Milgrom in Paris, Maje (a portmanteau of “Maman” and “Je” - “Mom and I”) was created as an accessible contemporary fashion brand combining Parisian elegance with youthful energy. Part of the SMCP Group (alongside Sandro and Claudie Pierlot), Maje has grown from a single Bastille boutique to over 600 stores worldwide. The brand is known for its effortless French-girl aesthetic, mixing feminine silhouettes with rock ‘n’ roll edge—signature leather jackets, romantic dresses, and tailored blazers at accessible luxury price points (€100-€300).
Maje is a French brand with European design and headquarters in Paris, making Europe the best place globally for pricing, selection, and exclusive collections. With 12-20% VAT refunds, a €395 Basalt leather jacket becomes €316-€348 after refund—compared to $495 in the US (€460), saving €112-€144. European boutiques also stock seasonal exclusives and collaborations 2-3 months before global release.

No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.
High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.
You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination.
Privé does not process an airport VAT refund. Privé buys the item tax-free in Europe and ships it to the United States. A traveler VAT refund, if you buy in a store yourself, is handled by that store's tax-free operator.
