The young man who welcomed me invited me to join a talk about the history of silk manufacturing in…read moreLyon he was doing for a class. It was in French, but I was able to understand it well, I just can't respond in French when it's sort of technical! The talk included how Francois I created the trade and how Lyon had at its hight over 5,000 small manufacturers. This store is well known for their loomed designs, where the silk is woven with colors and more. The work is absolutely stunning and I wish I could have bought so much more! I picked two amazing jacquard shawls, a silk square with a tulip design for my sister, a beautiful jacquard tie for my cousin and a hand painted silk scarf. I truly loved the selection, and it was VERY hard to choose. The prices seemed extremely fair for the work that goes into the pieces. If I bought them in the US, they'd be triple the price or more. The store is small and adorable, but the best part was the learning about the manufacturing of such stunning things. I'm glad I bought what I did, but I could have bought so many more pieces!

This little shop tucked back behind what looked like an ally was recommended by a local. It took…read moreme FOREVER to find it but it was worth the trek. First off, there is a long tradition behind the silk industry in Lyon and I was seeking as special gift that could be found no where else but Lyon. This is THE place for such a thing. The employees were friendly, helpful, funny, interactive... and every positive adjective I can think of. I kept picking things and thinking "too old for a twenty something?" and finally I just told the charming employee what I was looking for, a bit about the person's taste, why I was buying and she immediately plucked off the display EXACTLY what I had envisioned in my mind! If you haven't visited, they do tours (good for kids) on hand silk screening, you can buy silk ready to "do it yourself" and they just have some beautiful stuff. I'm not a big scarf person but if I had the money to buy several of the big velvet and silk scarfs, they would have been a stunning valance in one of my rooms at home! I hope you go and enjoy their products and genuine charm as much as I did!
