Merci

I read about this new store over at Babyccino. Merci is a new concept store that opened in Paris last week. A concept store, much like a department store, has a bunch of different areas but is a bit smaller. This one has a florist, a bookstore, a clothing store and a even a children's section. It was started by Marie-France Cohen, founder of Bonpoint, because she wanted to she wanted to give something back to the world after all her success. So she started Merci, where all the profits of the store go directly to a charity founded for children and women in Madagascar.

Everything in the store is actually donated by the designers and is sold at big discounts. It's got all kinds of big name brands, and of course Bonpoint is there. They even have Bonpoint fabric sold so you cna make your own.
