MERCI is a brand new massive concept store created by the former owners of French kids top brand Bonpoint, the concept is that of a charity business. Housed in a former factory, the store has fashion items, furniture, and other pieces for the home donated by designers.
Customers can fill their own bottles with perfume from Annick Goutal, or have a coffee in the used-book café; all profits from the venture go to a children’s charity in Madagascar.
Intersting to see the recycle charity shop culture getting a lot of publicity !
