What could be a more perfect way to unveil our new Petite Bouclee than with the exquisite Folies Bergère Shawl by Louise Robert?
Folies Bergère is a famous music hall in Paris, France, known for its extravagant performances and vibrant atmosphere. Established in the 19th century, it became synonymous with entertainment that was both light-hearted and
sophisticated.
The venue is celebrated for its lavish shows featuring music, dance, and theatrical performances, often including elaborate costumes and stunning visual displays. Folies Bergère evokes a sense of elegance and feminine artistic flair emanating from the model. -Louise Robert ♡
