I was just in Paris and missed the exhibit—it looks so cute! 🥹 Buuuut was able to make it to Merci's second location - their linen is so pretty.
Side note: Every time I'm super fascinated by reading about Jeanne Damas… like, are people still buying Rouje? When I say 'people,' I mean Jeanne basically built this brand for American customers who want to buy into the fantasy of spending time in Europe (which, let’s be real, usually just means France or Italy). What do you think?
Ahh! I still haven't made it out to the second location. A visit is definitely in order--I'm just so curious!
TBH...agreed with your thoughts on Rouje. I really don't see a ton of women wearing it out here, but then again, it's not summer yet. Maybe I'll see a few of the famous Gabin wrap dresses out and about. I think most of the brand's audience is outside of France, I mean a lot of the styles and cuts are very similar to other brands here (I'm thinking like Gerard Darel off the top of my head). Plus, I rarely ever see women here wearing that cliché "Parisian look" that was all over IG in 2016....
