As many of you know, most of the big names in luxury goods make now make their goods outside of France- sometimes in nearby Italy, but many times in factories in Asia. I don't know about you, but that certainly takes some of the cachet out of buying a French bag. I'd like one that is actually made with quality materials, in France. Never mind the logo- don't need it, or would prefer it discreet, s'il vous plait.
Our intrepid guide, Wendy, is always on the lookout for items that are truly Made in France, and voila! She came upon 1854 Grunenberger, who still makes their bags in France, since 1854, naturellement. I think the styles are a great mix of trendy and classy, non? Available online and in a boutique in the 17th.
