                  Well described. And it's the very rare occasion when something that looks like it's from another era, yet does not look costumey - the way a lot of CDG does, for example. I believe they are based in Paris.

                        FYI, they are stocked at Esthete in the meat-packing district. I tried on two really nice jackets last night...too long for a shrimp like me, unfortunately. But I'm guessing from your pics that Mrs. Faust is on the taller side, so there may be something there for her. There was an asymmetrical one with ties that i absolutely loved.



                        The contact info on their website is in Lebanon (!) so I am guessing they are french lebanese?



                        I really like those sweatshirt-type tops with the hoods and zippers.

                            Thanks! I did not see. What do you think about that store? It looks like they are still trying to figure out who their customer is, no? Their menswear is total crap (Filippa K? WTF, it's like Banana Republic of Sweden), but the womens looked very good at times. It seems like someone had an oodle of money, and just thought that he/she'd be cool if owned a store in the meatsmelling district.

                              Filippa K is a lot better made than BR, in my opinion. [:P]



                              I agree, the store is a mixed bag. The space is great and the staff is really laid-back. Quality-wise, I think the stuff she buys is excellent, especially the Japanese and French designers. But there is a definite L.A. influence that rubs me the wrong way. Thomas Wylde!? [+o(] And the Cosa Nostra stuff--which is amazingly well-made--is an utter waste of craftsmanship, in my opinion. But then again, I suppose its right at home in the meatsmelling district, lol.
