You walk through the door your personal shopper is holding open for you… and enter a magical realm. The boutique director greets you by name and gives you a private tour of the premises, one of the top fashion houses in Paris. The clothes are
lovely and original, skillfully cut from buttery silks and crisp linens. Even more important, you try on one of the creations your personal shopper has suggested– you look fabulous.
