Paris may be the epicentre of fashion in France – and yes, arguably the rest of the world too – but as many a travelling connoisseur will attest, this is a country where fashion and style is deeply rooted. As such, a sizeable number of notable multi-brand depositories can be found in glamorous pockets elsewhere, from Deauville and Courchevel, to the French Riviera, Biarritz, and as of late, also in Bordeaux. Best known for its prized vineyards, it’s here where Delphine Caucé, a fashion professional with a 20-year work experience in the upper segment, has established jqln., that’s short for Jacqueline, a new boutique for style savvy women. The boutique occupies a 120 sqm. (1,292 sq.ft.) unit on the ground floor of one of the many historic buildings in the heart of the city. The interior design, created in-house by Caucé, oozes the vibe of a private boudoir—chic and sensual, and vaguely reminiscent of a Guy Bourdin photograph. Furnishings and fixtures, some with bold metal accents, have been carefully sourced, adding to the overall allure. In her entire career, Caucé has always championed talented young designers, and this is very much reflected in jqln.‘s sophisticated mix of both French and international brands, including Lanvin, JW Anderson, Charlotte Resnais, The Row, Francesco Russo, Jil Sander and Nanushka.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
