The opening of the new flagship Ralph Lauren store has got me packing my bags for Paris. A six storey emporium situated on the divine Boulevard Saint Germain near one of my favourite cafes and Hemingways old haunt, Deux Magots.
The 1200 square metre store stocks the full collection of men's and women's wear, the Black, Blue and Purple lines, Polo, vintage jewellery and new watches. The thing to covet the most is Ralph's collection of $24,000 handbags in jewel coloured emerald, ruby and sapphire.
I think I could literally live in the store with the interconnecting rooms, lavishly decorated and themed in all things "Ralph", including: nautical, Santa Fe, native American, Hollywood glamour and my personal favourite, Hamptons. Housed in the cobbled courtyard is his own restaurant called Ralph's. I have always said that if I could be dressed exclusively by one designer it would be Ralph Lauren, and now he can feed me too!.
