Maison F was founded by Francois-Regis Laporte, who trained in pattern cutting at the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne and worked earlier as an assistant at Jacques Fath and press manager at Bruuns Bazaar.

The house's ties, bow ties and accessories are cut and hand-sewn from silk sourced in Lyon, with roughly 20 minutes of handwork per tie; the workshop employs around fifty seamstresses.
