The Manufacture Prelle Warms Up December With Gloves By Thomasine Barnekow

At last! Snow! We knew it would fall one day, although I'll admit I was enjoying the omission until Friday morning's windstorm brought a flurry of flakes into the region. Winter is right around the corner with snow, ice and freezing temperatures. It's time to make another seasonal wardrobe change and pull out those woolen sweaters and socks, those down coats, hats and gloves that have been stowed away in the back of the cellar for the past eight months.  

And wouldn't it be nice to spice up that wintery uniform with some creative designer fun? The glover, Thomasine Barnekow (link) has a lovely collection of gloves in delightful colors and a variety of styles to help you keep the chic on Paris streets this season.

Born and raised in Sweden, Thomasine has called Paris her home for the past few years. You may have seen her creations recently at Printemps or in the ballet Sous Apparence last November.

On December 13, Sweden's luminous holiday honoring Saint Lucia, the Manufacture Prelle is hosting a special private sale in their showroom on the prestigious Place des Victoires.

Come try on and fall in love with Thomasine's creations, enjoy some Swedish pastries, and discover Prelle's new exhibition : Le japonisme dans les soieries lyonnaises link (I'll write more on this event later).

Hope to see you there!
