Why Join Michino Paris?

This is a rare opportunity to join an independent luxury brand at an exciting stage of its international development.

As the first permanent team member of Michino Paris in the United States, you will have a direct impact on the growth of the brand, the client experience, and the future of our American operations.

You will work closely with founder Yasu Michino and the Paris leadership team while helping build a long-term presence for Michino Paris in one of the world's most important luxury markets.

If you are passionate about luxury, entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, and exceptional client experiences, we would love to hear from you.

Founded by designer Yasu Michino, Michino Paris is an independent French luxury leather goods brand combining Parisian elegance, Japanese sensibility, exceptional craftsmanship, and a deeply personal approach to client relationships.

Following the success of our Paris showroom, we recently opened our first permanent showroom in New York, where clients can discover our collections in an intimate and personalized environment.

We are looking for an intern to join our New York team and work closely with our Showroom & Client Experience Coordinator across all aspects of the showroom's day-to-day life: welcoming clients, supporting sales, and contributing to the U.S. client experience.

This is an ideal opportunity for a student or someone at the very beginning of their career in luxury who is passionate about fashion, enjoys meeting people, and wants hands-on experience with an independent international brand.

About the Role

As Showroom & Client Experience Intern, you will support the Showroom Coordinator in ensuring that every client visiting our New York showroom receives a warm, personalized, and high-end Michino experience. You will help manage appointments, introduce clients to our collections, assist with sales, and support the everyday organization and presentation of the showroom. You will also get exposure to how a small luxury Maison handles U.S. e-commerce client service, working in coordination with our Paris team.

Our management and creative teams are based in Paris and visit New York regularly, but not every day, so you will be learning in a hands-on, autonomous environment.

Your Responsibilities

Showroom & Sales

• Welcome clients and support a highly personalized luxury experience
• Assist with showroom appointments and private visits
• Learn to present the Michino collections, craftsmanship, colors, and Made-to-Order possibilities
• Support the sales process and payment handling
• Help with client follow-up after visits and purchases

Showroom Operations

• Help keep the showroom beautifully presented and organized
• Support inventory monitoring and stock movements with the Paris team and U.S. warehouse
• Help receive and prepare products and client orders
• Assist with occasional client events, influencer appointments, and special showroom activities

U.S. Client Service (exposure)

• Support responses to client questions by email and other service channels
• Assist with order, delivery, exchange, and return follow-ups, in coordination with Paris and U.S. logistics partners

Who We Are Looking For

More than experience, we are looking for the right personality.

You are naturally warm, positive, attentive, and comfortable with people. You are curious, eager to learn, and interested in fashion, luxury, design, craftsmanship, or art.

You should be:

• Genuinely client-oriented and comfortable meeting people
• Energetic, proactive, and reliable
• Organized and attentive to detail
• Comfortable communicating with an international team
• Fluent in English; additional languages are a plus
• Comfortable using digital tools and learning new systems

Currently enrolled in or a recent graduate of a program in fashion, luxury management, business, or a related field is a plus but not required.

Position Details

• Internship, full-time
• New York City - SoHo
• 100% on-site
• Paid internship (hourly, in line with NYC minimum wage)
• Duration: approx. 12 weeks or one semester
• Start date: as soon as possible

Why Join Michino Paris?

Michino is still an independent Maison, which means every person joining our team, even as an intern, can have a genuine impact. You won't simply be observing from the sidelines: you will get to know our clients, learn about the craftsmanship behind our collections, work closely with our Paris team and founder Yasu Michino, and see first-hand what it takes to grow a young luxury showroom in the U.S.

If this sounds like you, we would love to meet you.
