A Foreign Affair


The ColettexGap pop-up opened today next to the 5th and 54th flagship with much very little fanfare— only a quiet "bonjour" from the sales associate.  I had to wait about an hour to get in as they monitor the door and only let in about 25 people at a time, and when I left the line stretched around the block.  But with limited edition Repettos, Longchamp totes, t-shirts and all sorts of the knick-knacks Colette is famous for (my favorite are the pencils with mustaches), the wait is very much worth it.  Its je ne sais quoi will last until October 5th.
