| Summary: | In 1975, they launched Bonpoint, which pioneered exquisitely made children's clothes with an impeccably French sense of style, and in 2009, two years after selling the company, they opened Merci, the Haut-Marais concept store that donates its revenue to children's causes in Madagascar. Since its debut, the three-level emporium has become as emblematic of the city as the soon-to-be-shuttered Right Bank stalwart Colette. The couple bought two homes with the profits from Bonpoint's sale - a 17th-century hotel particulier and carriage house built around a lush courtyard garden in the Seventh Arrondissement, and a country manor on seven acres at the edge of the forest near Fontainebleau. [...]the aura is cozy English country, the large square rooms filled with favorite pieces, such as a feather-stuffed Howard sofa and a pair of carved columns from a 16th-century ship, found in a little antiques shop near her house. |
