Our favorite Christmas gifts:
Laura Laval is a French designer who is going places... From lightweight camisoles to masculine tailored jackets and sophisticated tops, Laura Laval is re-enchanting the entire women's wardrobe.
We love the delicacy of these handmade pieces made in France. With embroidery, lace, and ultra-modern, simple cuts, this is a wonderfully feminine gift that is very much in tune with the times. In terms of budget, expect to pay at least $85... and more if you really like it!
