Storefront Testimonials

“The idea came to us during a meeting with the creators of Oncle Pape a year ago at the Made in France show, le Salon de la Haute Façon. We met there and got along well. We wanted to launch our own store, not year-round because the costs are too high, but for a short spell and at the best time, during the Christmas season. None of the La Garçonnière creators have brick-and-mortar stores, however the direct channel with customers is very important to us. We all have online retail platforms, but this place gave us the opportunity to be together – physically! The creators of each brand are on site and can convey their brand message directly. There is no better brand ambassador than the founder! There was tremendous from being set up together: each brand has its own following. Add fifteen brand followings together and you have a large, impressionable following. Each brand brings their contacts, journalists, bloggers, and aficionados to the table. To have a shared space, it is ideal to talk about our brands.”

“Storefront was an especially useful channel for us to find the right location. While we found other exciting options as well, securing those locations could easily take months. Storefront secured the location in a matter of hours. Plus, we’re benefitting from repeat visits as we see customers coming in that know this location is a pop-up venue.”
