Jean-Edouard Mano PicardCo-Founder, 52Gage

I studied real estate appraisal and property valuation, with a focus on judicial property valuation, before starting my career in Bordeaux, where I worked in real estate, mainly in property rental and management. 

A few years later, my personal life brought me to Hong Kong. I left France and my career in real estate behind and started a completely new chapter with the creation of 52GAGE, an independent multi-brand boutique bringing together fashion, design and lifestyle.

Today, I am the sole director of 52 Gage, where I manage the day-to-day business and continue to develop the boutique, always looking for original brands, talented designers and unique craftsmanship to introduce to Hong Kong.
