I remember, extremely clearly so I cannot gaslight myself on this, going to Franglish and being told that there was no easier way to spot a Russian tourist in Paris than leopard print. And yet. And yet! Leopard print is all over the city this season, to the extent that....

The new collection d’hiver from Sézane came out this morning, and these are my very coat-heavy selections. Disappointed in: the dresses and blouses (only one of which, from the two categories, is below) — but the coats! The coats. Divine. 1. Armando coat in rust blue check I literally stopped....

Ba&sh is a great French brand, even if it’s annoying to type and too expensive. I do have a solid fix for the second issue, even if there’s no addressing the first: Ba&sh Second/e Main, used Ba&sh pieces that have been authenticated, thoroughly cleaned and repaired, and re-presented for sale....

The text block selection was truly excellent, with a range....

French lavender fields are justly famous and visiting one can be a highlight of a trip to Provence. That’s where you find them at their most photogenic — and ideally in July, as the lovely purple bloom usually begins in mid-June and ends in mid-August, subject to weather and geography.....

Shopping in Paris is a world-class experience, with creative, dynamic shops featuring the most famous brands in the world — but sometimes all you want is a new pair of leggings from a familiar label. Here, we examine the French equivalents of some well-known American (and UK brands), and where....
