I am proud to be the bearer of the most wonderful news. 213 RUE SAINT-HONORÉ 75001 PARIS might just be my favourite address in Paris, and for this reason alone, elaboration is key. Colette houses unique cd's all amongst a wall of head phones for true guilty pleasures, and one off books too. Treasured specialty jewellery and boutique beauty products including Australia's own Model Co also make the event of visiting this store memorable. But the defining style reigns from the gorgeous candles and fragrances leading the path to the stairs to level two, mens and ladies fashion. I was in awe when I visited one wintry Paris afternoon, and didn't want to leave even though my tummy was grumbling. There's a great cafe in the basement but my budget couldn't stretch.
And now there's one opening as a pop-up store in London... oh take me there. What makes this even more special is that it's a bit like a treasure hunt to gain entry though. It's home is at the Old Truman Brewery's Boilerhouse and no no, it's not as simple as just walking in the door. One must look out for Nissan Cube cars at venues and events around London and then ask the driver for a membership card to admit you. Cool.
Innovation is not an option, it's an essential element prescribed to brilliant ideas and all creatively housed under Colette's roof. Home sweet home.
