À la Mère de Famille, the Parisian institution founded in 1761, signs this sleeveless puffer in deep green, filled with down feathers for warmth and lightness. A light brown lambskin shoulder piece crowns the back above the embroidered name and a 1761 patch; a cream knight's head sits on the front.
High collar, concealed zip under six antique silver snaps, four pockets, and a star-tile lining for the wearer alone.
A la Mère de Famille
A la Mère de Famille has delighted sweet-toothed Parisians and visitors alike since it was founded in 1761. Set on rue du Faubourg Montmartre, in the 9th arrondissement, the historic shop is renowned as the oldest chocolaterie in the capital. People come for a remarkable selection of handcrafted chocolates, old-fashioned sweets and ice creams, today under the stewardship of the Dolfi family.
Its carefully decorated interior and warm welcome make it a treasured piece of France's gourmet heritage. Lovers of sweet things find here a touch of nostalgia and an undiminished commitment to quality: an address to recommend to anyone with a passion for confectionery, open every day.
