Old England Paris

Sadly closing in February. Goldberg made a hash of it by stocking Italian luxury brands and his own Albert Arts label, which no-one in Paris ever bought.

Private sales and now the January Soldes over the past few weeks have seen a melancholy procession of France's Anglophile aristocrats rummaging through what remains of OE's cashmere jumpers.

Yesterday the shop was closed due to fire damage: A small fire conveniently broke out over the weekend, not damaging the building but presumably making what remains of the stock unsaleable. A notice claims that it will reopen again but I think that's the end of Old England.

Its lease was bought by Richemont, which plans the world's largest luxury watch boutique, aimed at Chinese tourists, on the site.
