Paris Vintage: Iglaine
When I moved into my old apartment in the 1st arrondisement of Paris (Louvre, Chatelet, Palais Royal) late December 2006, I became neighbours to a divine vintage boutique on rue de la Grande Truanderie. The owner is this cute little lady named Dominique Cesselin and the boutique is called Iglaine.
With an extensive list of garments and accessories there I made that place my ultimate destination for something unique. It's never one to disappoint, from chic designer pieces to remarkable non-brands. I would spend hours and hours trying on everything the boutique has offer with the company of Mme. Cesselin's 3 super cute sable italian greyhounds.
At the end I would leave the place with a weeping wallet and a joyful soul.
