A few weeks ago, I was invited by the very kind Marie Helene to come discover her boutique and brand, Justine Red –tucked up a pretty side street just off Boulevard Saint Germain. Now, you girls know how much I enjoy a personal fashion story, and Marie’s was fascinating – she took experiences and anecdotes from her own life to help create her brand. As an avid traveler, she set out to create the perfect travel bag – and in the process considered every last detail, from size to durability to weight.
