The opening of ASTIER DE Villatte at 16 rue de Tournon 75006 PARIS

Dear Shaded Viewers,

It is such a delight when you find a bijoux of a shop which is exactly what I found today. Astier de Villatte has existed in another location for 16 years but today it opened its new boutique in the 6eme filled with treasures from perfume to ceramics to hand made papers. It is the kind of store that you dream to find in Paris, or anywhere for that matter. Karl Bradl and Carlos Quintero Nomenclature   NYC were at the opening with the launch of their perfumes created by scientists and an homage to molecules. The ceramics are what you come to Paris to discover, I fell in love with the teapots, the cups, the dishes, all of it and then there was the cat insense burner where the insense comes out through the cats mouth. 

I had a little chat with the owner Ivan Pericoli, you will find it above, wish that I'd conducted it in english instead of my horrible French, later I discovered that Ivan spoke perfect english, anyway…see what you can understand.
