Charvet Event At Saks San Francisco - part 1

I visited and took a few photos at the Charvet store while I was in Paris for the women's collections. I used some of the photos to illustrate our event. This little corner of the Paris store really captures the essence of luxury and elegance that is Charvet.

post a commentRe the cufflink cornucopia: I learned recently, to my delight, that these "nameless" knots are in fact called turkshead links or (even better) turtles...
hmmm... what about just "silk cufflinks"? And besides... I want a collection like that at home ;)
(the young lady in the third last picture)what a lovely smile! :)
What a change of scenes!
San Franscisco is such a refreshing place. How is the weather?
HM did this catalog thing with the "style" of the area some time ago...kind of staged -of course-.
Can you stroll to different areas and capture people with your small camera obscura street fighter?
Another term thatI am familiar with is "Silk-knots" , never heard of the other two (turkshead & turtles), always happy to learn new terminology...THANKS!
Hi Sar,
Q for Charvet.
In regards to the whole slim tie going on these days....what's considered an appropriate pairing of shirt and suit and how should the neckwear be worn.
Thnks.
Maria - It's been grey & overcast all weekend, and it rained last night.
I love the bathrobe. Makes me think of something from Wooster & Jeeves.
In the first shot, where you identify "Mr. Colban (glasses)..." They are both wearing glasses
what a nice presentation you did at saks. i enjoyed your slide show but the lighting made the pictures hard to see.
Love the cuff links. Will you be able to shoot some SF street fashion.
i really miss your street style photos.
I will be shooting in New York again starting Wednesday!
Hey I know those "Two fabulous young ladies".
They are, on the left, the talented Marcy Carmack, stylist and owner of Chic Wardrobe Solutions, her dog Arabella, and friend Kim Karp.
I am a guy from SF and I thought that your photo (of the two women with the dog) captured a very distinctive "SF" look reflecting how many SF women dress, especially shopping. Their look seems a bit more subtle and comfortable than their LA or NYC counterparts. I am impressed that you selected this shot. Good eye!
yey! re shooting those photos. glad to hear it :)
Mr Sartorialist:
I'll spend le weekend in NYC going to some openings... -with lots of luck I'll run into you-
Thanks so much Sartorialist for your interview with Jean-Claude, who was charming and a real Old World artisan. It was a treat to see you in person as well and have a chat - the best part of the event the democratic nature of the crowd; young and not so, every race and sex represented. Refreshing!
I adore the cufflinks! So many colors! :)
I miss your interview segments that were common in the early months of the Sartorialist. Especially the "most over-rated, and most under-rated" answers.
Congratulations on bringing to the public one of the classiest and well thought-out blogs to the web. The bar has definitely been raised by your efforts...may your success continue to flourish.
I always enjoyed wearing Charvet and Battistoni ties because they made such elegant small bottleneck knots.
However, seeing that Mr. Colban has such a large knot I realise I might need some new ties. Or, hopefully I can manage to pull-off looking Retro/RatPack!
hey Heywood
Now that this is a full-time gig I will be doing more interviews and street shots etc.
I have been traveling so much but the next two months are pretty easy.
those 2 ladies look great!
The cute girl with the bright smile...3rd from the bottom...what was she wearing? I love the hair, and the bronze studs on the top. Wish you had taken a picture of the entire outfit!
Bloodyhell...I hate to admit it but I do fancy their shirts more. Sorry chaps, coloUr matters.
