Polene has some lovely pieces, too! I always obsess over their chunkier earrings 🙂

And I can’t not mention Muse of My Own, though we’re not French, we are EU-based!

In reply to Jean Tierney. Hi Jean! What a thoughtful comment about Lalage Beaumont bags, and I couldn't agree more! The quality is just outstanding and it truly rivals some of the top designer brands out there. I'll have to try the Fonteyn style next...for now I'm still doting over my Maya bags 😍

I have the Fonteyn mini bag in beige and I can honestly say against my other top tier designer bags, it has a place amongst them! It’s absolutely gorgeous and probably very close in similarity to the Hermes Mini Kelly bag without the ridiculous price point although Hermes is still the holy grail of luxury items and they make the most beautiful, luxurious bags! Back to Lalage Beaumont, lol, if you are on the fence just go for it. The leather on my Fonteyn bag has a grain to it but it’s so hard wearing and I just love it. It has gold plated hardware and is made to a very high standard. I am definitely thinking of going for the Midi as some point but their Ninette bag in Espresso is just “Chef’s Kiss”, so the Midi may have to wait!

In reply to R. So happy you found some new brands to explore! And you're right, however sometimes I include companies that are inspired by Parisian or European aesthetics. The founder of Clare V is French and her styles are heavily influenced by Parisian sophistication, despite not being produced in the EU :)
