A Golden Dream, Forged in the City


AURÉVÉ (pronounced oh-RAY-vay) unites 2 French words—“or” (gold) & “rêvé” (dreamed). Our mission is simple: craft luxury pieces that feel like gold-plated dreams—refined, versatile, and unmistakably modern.


From Sketchbook to Street Icons


  • Concept Stage (2024) – Late-night sketches passed between a New-York design studio & Parisian pattern-makers. What started as a single VA monogram became a full hardware library & fabric swatch wall.

 

  • Prototype Trials (2025) – Puffers, heavyweight tees, leather belt bags, and denim were lab-tested for abrasion, rain-spray, and stretch recovery, then field-tested on real streets—rooftop shoot at dawn, subway ride at rush-hour, warehouse rave past midnight.

 

  • Launch Window (late 2025 → early 2026) – Our first capsule will drop online with global shipping & a promise: modern luxury shouldn’t make you wait. Expect new stock to ship within days, not weeks.

 

Design Philosophy

 

1.)  Heritage Craftsmanship – hand-trimmed leather, gold-tone hardware finished on vintage polishing wheels.

 

2.)  Performance Everywhere – moisture-wick knits for courtside, reinforced denim for city miles, recycled-nylon puffers for winter commutes.

 

3.)  Minimal Waste, Maximal Style – limited-run capsules, responsibly sourced materials, and silhouettes that’s built to outlive trends.


Crafted for the Golden Dream


Our tagline is a promise: Gold stands for excellence; Dream stands for imagination. From the braided-rope VA badge to the black-and-cream palette, every detail sparks ambition & earns pride of place in your rotation.


Meet the Founder


Marcus J. Hefner — Creative Director & Founder of AURÉVÉ Brand

 

From harsh New York winters to Paris runway streams, Marcus envisioned a gap between high-fashion polish & real-world versatility. Armed with a fashion-school thesis on “technical luxury,” he turned those concepts into AURÉVÉ’s very first prototypes inside a small New-York studio workshop. Today he leads a global team of artisans & product engineers, insisting on 2 non-negotiables: flawless construction & delivery within days, not weeks.


“Luxury shouldn’t live in a glass case—it should move with you, shine with you, and last longer than trends.”

— Marcus J. Hefner
