Day 4, and Paris has been unseasonably cool. Like high-of-50 degrees cool. Not the spring-like weather I expected or packed for. So, while on route to Luxembourg Gardens from the Vavin metro stop, what better excuse to take a moment and stop at
Eric Bompard? Send dear husband ahead with dear children to the Luxembourg Gardens playground, and take a moment in the land of all things cashmere.

Lisa and I first read about Eric Bompard in Parisian Chic, by Ines de la Fressange, and Lisa was in-the-know last year when she visited Paris, picking up this navy v-neck sweater that I've coveted ever since.

I went into Eric Bompard with an open mind, trying on several different styles of sweaters. I'm guessing they had about 30+ styles of cashmere sweaters, both 100% cashmere, and part cashmere/part silk sweaters. Good news, they have every color under the sun. Bad news, no retail post in the United States yet. Definitely a 'purchase while in Paris' item.
This
batwing pullover looked chic, but was a bit short in the body length.

This one I LOVED, the
zip-back crew neck, but the fit was tough on me. I was thinking of it with leather leggings or skinny, cropped black pants with a pendant necklace or scarf accessory. (This is the view of the back.)

When all was said and done, I settled on 2 of the classic v-neck pullovers, wearing the "liege" colored one tonight to dinner, with leather leggings, black scarf, Hermes bangle, and Jimmy Choo snake-skin pumps. Tres classique!

Love this post! Are the sweaters fitted? How are your business cards working out? Keep shopping and blogging PLEASE.
ReplyDeleteHi Sisi! Yes, the sweaters feel fitted...those French women are so skinny! The 'fitted' version of the sweaters were skin-tight on me. Will be posting more. Thanks for reading!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what size did you end up buying that gorgeous navy v neck sweater in. Just gorgeous
ReplyDeleteHi Anna-lisa, cannot recall the size and I'm not near the sweater for a little while. Will post when I can get you the size! Thank you! - J
DeleteHi Ladies, Eric Bompards Autumn Winter collection will be available shortly. Now comes the dilemma with Classic, Fitted or the new Hugs Collection. Oh and the sizing! I am so excited and hoping that one of those coveted Navy V Neck sweaters will come my way.
ReplyDeleteAnna-lisa, the sizing of my Eric Bompard Classic v-neck is a 'M'. I usually wear small to medium tops or in number sizes, 8. The Fitted runs much smaller, and on me, the Classic feels fitted. Hope that helps!
DeleteReally an amazing post and great ideas! if you want to look stylish find your desired choice of v neck pullover hoodies and winter clothing at wholesale rates!
