Fabrice is a really great jewelry boutique. I have been shopping there for probably a couple of decades. Whenever I wear my Fabrice jewelry, folks stop me and ask where I got it. My pieces turn out to be conversation pieces.

My favorite Fabrice jewelry item is my African necklace made of large, African-beaded hoops, all intertwined, and with a large, magnetic, closure clasp on the back.

Fabric sends me e-mails as they have online pop-up stores from time to time. I got another e-mail from them not too long ago. I remember a salesperson mentioning that they sometimes have pop up boutiques in NYC, and I was once told some years ago by them, that they were to have one here in Los Angeles, but I don't know if it happened or not.

Happy Travels!

I also like Cosi. I remember when the rue de Seine one opened as I first started staying on that same block in 1981 and although I have stayed all over Paris, since the 70s, it's still my main neighborhood and area as I have regularly eaten at Guenmai since the 80s, back when I was first macrobiotic. It's nice to return to a neighborhood where folks have known you from decade to decade.

One of my best, Parisian friends first took me to Cosi, back around when it opened, as she's a hotel manager in the neighborhood. It's a good place to go and grab a bite and especially when one doesn't have a long lunch hour. So, she and I would eat there and then she could walk quickly back to work at her hotel, a 3-minute walk from Cosi.

Happy Travels!

Hi Guenmai - I wish I had asked for them to put me on their email list. I didn't know about their pop up boutiques either. Thanks for the suggestion. Everyone I mention Fabrice to ends up thanking me. It's the most distinctive costume jewelry store I've seen.
