It then continues by stopping by two giants of style: Balenciaga and Gucci. The correspondence with our loved ones is made with the elegant paper (and not only) creations of Pinaider. With a lot of imagination ;-)) we take our boat to the French Alps for the usual partnership with the best hotels and private chalets in Megève and Couchevel.
