PIECES ART JOURNEY Cellar’s Hohenort Hotel is COMFY AND CHIC
Maison Mara has just welcomed Parisian label Maison Labiche to its Cape Town concept store. The label was founded by a group of young Parisian creatives who wanted to create a timeless collection comprising high- quality, handmade basic wear with intricate detailing such as embroidery. At Maison Labiche the emphasis is on comfort, style and playfulness. A perfect example is its pure cotton T-shirts, a staple in chic French wardrobes, each embroidered with a tongue-in- cheek French word.
