Furniture, lighting, dishes, vases, beauty products and the list goes on: here is a real treasure chest to offer or to offer yourself! A cocoon with soft colors, a poetic atmosphere and a warm welcome. Véronique carefully selects objects for the home, garden and wellness worlds, bringing together local and European artisans in her store, all of whom are eco-ethical.

Defined as collections of desires, The Store is Colmar's trendy boutique, featuring the names of a few designers such as American Vintage, Chloé Stora, Léon & Harper, Maison Scotch, Minimum, Ottod'Ame, Reiko... to name just a few. A real fashion show of trendy brands for fashion enthusiasts, which is revealed in a vintage style décor. A little more than a clothing store, a few bags, jewellery, shoes, socks and other accessories are added to create a resolutely feminine and trendy look. In search of a touch of fantasy, a touch of masculinity or the choice of timeless elegance, The Store offers a mix and match of stylish brands, with varied universes, each with a real identity. A little more, the boutique offers a unique shopping experience through original events, the "eat and drink, dance & shop", to shop for trendy pieces in a good mood and with a festive atmosphere.

All items, except furniture, are from local designers. Claire's welcome is particularly pleasant and attentive. She easily distills her advice and talks about her artists like a friend.
