ah, the joys of being in l'eclaireur.
on one of the regular runs to paris (that is, run away from new york), we are shopping for the little ones at du pareil au meme - in st. germain. and what should pop up in front of us? a lovely and wonderful magasin - l'eclaireur!
costume national. dries van noten. right out of the days of charivari, but on the other side of the atlantic. lovely lighting, gorgeous products, (appropriately) aloof and fantastic salespeople - what more could we ask for.
no concept store, or hipster haven like colette (which we also adore!). no, l'eclaireur began as a temple to style. and when they migrated away from this location, taking over the marais (and other corners of paris) they fit in beautifully with cappellini across the street ... rue des rosiers will never be the same. that shop also seemed well suited to the area - near jo goldenberg, the jewish deli - a while ago they were kitted out with all things hebraic in the window vitrine!
kudos to armand et martine hadida for their divine and entrepreneurial adventure!
we were to visit the tokyo branch next week but we must put that on hold for now ... we'll get there soon enough ...
