When I moved to Paris almost ten years ago, I took a few books as souvenirs from my father’s vast library. As a writer and fellow Francophile, I discovered a Paris guide book published in 1950 titled The Paris We Love. I often refer to this book, a series of 23 vignettes, each written by a different French writer, to discover just how much Paris has or hasn’t changed.
I particularly enjoy the chapter about my Marais neighborhood with a map detailing my frequented streets.
It was after a meeting with Fiona of Storie Shop who calls Montparnasse home, that an idea sprang to mind.
Inspired by this book with an introduction and cover by Jean Cocteau, a Kasia Dietz handbag was created!
