Going over the agenda: the shop will be open every day in August, Monday through Sunday. The Bourginettes are taking turns, in a crocodile row, faithfully holding down the fort. We do this as a public service to Paris' August visitors - we wouldn't want you to find yourself in a complete ghost town.
A fresh new layout!
The run-up to summer vacation was busy at 15 Rue Racine.
The team was called upon for a grand project: we crafted the textile décor for Pantagruel, the brand new restaurant of Michelin-starred chef Jason Gouzy and his partner, Sophie-Anne Bourgine (sister of — you’ve probably guessed).
Before, at 15 rue Racine
After, at 10 rue de Richelieu
The waitstaff wears... Bourgine uniforms, no surprises there. Please do mention us if you visit, you will be offered a glass of champagne on the house.
On Thursday, Marguerite,a rising star, came to visit. After trying on a lot of pieces, she left with an Armand jacket.
