Inside Paris Market Week: A Founder’s Journal
Paris during Market Week is an exhilarating blur of business and beauty. Between back-to-back showings, chic café moments, and a little retail therapy, the city never fails to captivate. Here’s a glimpse into our whirlwind four-day trip.
Day 1: Departure & Arrival
A stylish coincidence—my mom and I unintentionally matched at the airport, proving that great taste is genetic. A smooth flight later, we touched down in Paris, quickly unpacked, and stepped out for a quiet dinner at Alfred. The first evening in the city is always special, no matter how many times we visit.

Day 2: Showings Begin & Dinner at Alfi's
The first round of showings set the tone for an inspiring week, as we introduced our latest collections in an effortlessly elegant Parisian setting. After a day of back-to-back appointments, we wound down at Alfi’s—an intimate spot that never disappoints.
Day 3: Meetings, Shopping & Espresso Breaks
Day two of showings was just as full, but we found time for a quick visit to Galeries Lafayette—because what’s a trip to Paris without a little retail indulgence? A stop at Café Kitsuné for a much-needed espresso gave us the energy boost we needed to power through the rest of the day. Before heading back, we took a detour to Place Vendôme, a must-visit for any jewelry lover, soaking in the exquisite window displays from the world’s most renowned maisons. A leisurely afternoon stroll led us to Le Meurice for a refined tea break—a moment of calm amid the week’s excitement.

Our last day was all about wrapping up meetings, fine-tuning details, and reflecting on an incredibly productive week. As the sun set, we strolled past the Louvre, taking in the golden glow of the city before making a final stop at Fontaine de Mars for a decadent dessert, the perfect sweet ending to our Parisian journey. A sweet and fitting end to an unforgettable trip.
