When I was in Paris last week, I bought a pretty little dress (60s) with couture construction and a Louis Feraud label--Paris was on the second line.
The dealer said the addition of "Paris" indicated that it was made for the Boutique. Boutique garments (to be sold in Paris) were often made in the couture workrooms. There was no French pret a porter until the seventies so this makes sense.
Anyone have any thoughts about it. We don't have this label at VFG. I'll send a label another day.

The trip was truly wonderful. I spent 1 1/2 days at YSL Foundation and 1 1/2 days at Dior Archives, saw the exhibition at the Galleria mid-century (19th) gowns, etc. and shopped for vintage. Didn't buy much --it was very expensive.
