Your pocketsize handbook to Paris: a mixture of mini-mag and personal shoppers' diary. Recommendations are jotted down by the locals in-the-know themselves, including boutiques, restaurants, bars, cafés, clubs, theatres, spas and much more. ISSUE 11 This issue saw the launch of VERY Ecological cities - turn the guide upside down and check eco Paris on the other side of this booklet! Our Paris office has been open now for over a year and our collaboration with BIL BO K has worked out fabulously. Mutually, actually: our VERY launch party for the first edition of BIL BO K international with Hugo Boss at Hugo Boss Sloane Square, London was a great success. The VERY BIL BO K teams work seamlessly together these days in both cities. And for those who weren’t there to witness: it all started with Boudicca’s most beautiful Paris couture show in January 2007, and we will be forever grateful.
