Nathalie Garçon - Galeries Vivienne


I am sure that you do not have to wonder how I selected this boutique for a photo...

Yes, it was initially the red walls...
and then the amazing hand-blown glass chandelier...

It was not until I got home that I discovered this delightful grand couturier, Nathalie Garçon, who created her own line in 1989 after making a name for herself with Cacharel.  Follow the link to see her website, to read more about her collaborations in many areas, and I think that you will love the music on her home page.... "Autrefois"

    What a feast of colours, gorgeous!

    Cacharel is on my favorites list. As a teenager I wore their Anaïs perfume. Come to think of it, I feel kind nostalgic now! (I was still living in Rome back then.)

    Do some of the bold colors of the designs on her website surprise you?

    I like her Spring/Summer collection. Has a rather 70/s feel. Nathalie doesn't seem to be as "cutting edge" as most. Autrefois was lovely. I let it play over and over while I worked!

    Fun capture! Love all the colors and lights. The link to the music on Nathalie's website was an extra bonus -- quite nice.

    Yes, I can certainly see why this place drew your excellent eye! I'm sometimes a bit intimidated by "designer" shops, but this one looks inviting.

    Beautiful shop. Just peering in the windows can give you a thrill! Not big on the what I think are the orange stripes in the rug but other than that it's gorgeous.

    It looks like quite an inviting place, and I can understand why you were drawn to the red wall. So, Genie, what did you buy here?
