A boutique inspired by Parisian sophistication and elegant taste....the store owners, husband and wife team and amazingly friendly and welcoming. The owner is an architect by practice but owns this on the side. Saw the lastest Lagerfeld collection which has exquisite and amazing finishing! Uber chic and classy.....the store also carried Uli Schneider's collection for the socialites' jet-setting lifestyle with beautiful material which doesn't wrinkle up. The owners mentioned that they are planning a Japanese tea garden behind their store to sip on tea and enjoy the collection.

There is a sister store which just opened down the street called Choisisaussi.

I am dissillusioned with Choisis. They sell fur-trimmed accessories. This is cruel and out of touch with modern sentiment.

Are the owners simply unaware of how that fur is obtained, or do they simply choose to ignore reality?

The fur is promoted as a symbol of elegance. But this fails to show how the original owners of these coats met their gruesome deaths.

Millions of fur-bearing animals including foxes, raccoons, minks, coyotes, bobcats, lynxes, opossums, nutria, beavers, muskrats, otters, and others are killed each year on fur farms by anal and vaginal electrocution and in the wild by drowning, trapping, or beating.

To kill the animals without damaging their fur, trappers usually strangle, beat, or stomp them to death. Animals on fur farms may be gassed, electrocuted, poisoned with strychnine, or have their necks snapped. These methods are not 100 percent effective and some animals "wake up" while being skinned.

I cannot patronize a boutique so out of touch with humanitarian principals that they will sell little bits of animals to make a buck.
