Annabel Winship presents trendy flat-heeled shoes which are comfortable, a clever mixture of English eccentricity and Parisian elegance. We love her famous Union Jack flat-heeled shoes or her boots decorated with metallic stars, but also her babies and her derbys, always easy to wear to run from an appointment to another.
The Australian brand of organic and trendy cosmetics decided to open its first European boutique in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-prés. Its philosophy is to offer well-targeted and high-quality care products without omitting that we also love products that give us sensorial pleasure, a little bit as a spa can offer.
Every product is made with a mix of high-quality and concentrated ingredients : essences of plants very much sought-after (tea tree, bitter orange, tangerine, coriander, geranium) with delicate and refined perfumes. There are no animal ingredients and the synthetic preservatives are reduced to the minimum and are replaced by vegetable products. We also like the way products are presented : in simple and opaque bottles, in order to preserve them from ultraviolet rays and to preserve their integrity.
Everything started with Pierre-François Lubin, who created his Maison de Parfumerie (Perfume shop) in 1798, to give to “Incroyables” (the Incredible Dandies) and to “Merveilleuses” (the fine ladies) (our ancestors!) perfumed ribbons, masks for balls and face powder, but most of all, his famous “eau vivifiante”(invigorating-bracing water) which became “L’Eau de Lubin” (Lubin’s Water). Lubin’s fame reached empress Joséphine and Pauline Bonaparte, and he became their favorite before becoming the one of Marie Hélène de Bourbon and of all European sovereigns. One century later, in the Roaring twenties, a new perfume is created every year. The Art Deco perfume bottles are designed by Julien Viard and Maurice Depinoix and the luxurious editions are made of Baccarat Crystal.
Lubin’s perfumes are the symbol of French elegance, particularly in the United-States, and until 1975 success has continued before the brand felt into oblivion with the massive appearance on the market of perfumes made by top fashion designers. In 1999, Gilles Thévenin, director of creation at Guerlain at that time, decides to give a new life to Lubin, which still represents to him the quintessence of French luxury. It is a titanic project but, fortunately, he has a great part of the 450 scents created by the brand and he decides, with Olivia Giacobetti’s help (one of the famous noses of French perfumery, remember En Passant at Frédéric Malle) to put some of them back on the market, alternating with the creations of new fragrances.

Dinh Van has become a must since the late 1990s when he created the bracelet on a cordon which is now his signature, and has been copied hundred times. Dinh Van succeeded in breaking with the sometimes conventional style of the traditional jewelry, by creating new shapes or by appropriating symbols as the target, the Chinese Pi or even handcuffs, which became the talismans of the ones who wear them : men, women and children.
