Each year, I will receive 2 catalogues (Spring-summer and Autumn-winter collections) from some online shops. Yesturday, I received the one from ‘La Redoute’; one of the biggest online shop in France. In August, they help you to prepare the coming winter (you can find coats, boots, pulls…etc…for men, women and kids). In this ‘very class’ big envelope, I found a catalogue, an order form with return envelope, a gift vouchure for your first order. The most attractive part is the ’20 euros cheque’, no matter what you buy, they give you 20 euros back. I personnally have made orders from ‘La Redoute’, have received the free gift and have used the cheque. Except they are quite high in price (lower the prices or raise up the cheque amount, I will buy more :)), this is a very successful online shop. Shazy

When I was little, I liked very much Dr.Slump (A Japanese cartoon which was popular in Hong Kong and China last decade). I went back to HK last month (july), my friends said Dr Slump was coming back and I found easily t-shirts, figures in the shops. Not missing this opportunity, I bought a Tshirt and 2 big figures (delivered directly from Japan). Shazy
On the Avenue des Champs Elysée in Paris, found the display window of Hugo Boss shop very interesting. Shazy
So, here we are, the first stone of the “cafe du design” project (this blog you’re reading right now) is online. A new project, a new blog, a new team! Without talking too much, let’s just say we hope that many exiting things will happens here before the end of the year.
On this blog, we will talk about design. From Hong Kong to Paris, we will try to find new trends, connect great designers and original shops, talk with you about what you like and what you want.
Want to know more? This next days each member of the team will present himself so come back often! ;)
PS : Sorry for this poor english, but well, I’m french (I know this is not an excuse)
I was born in Hong Kong and now living in Paris. As a Graphic Designer, I have always loved Design. As a mama of 2 little princesses (my partner, Peggy has 2 little princes), we love our kids. 2 years ago, an idea came out from our little heads. We wanted to bring some HK designs to France and French designs to Asia. All interesting design products not too chic, not too cheap but suitable for every style. On this blog, we will talk about design, fashion, decoration, for our kids, our mamas & papas and you; of course who like our designs. We are waiting for you to share your points of view and experiences with us.
I hope ‘Cafe du Design’ will give you fun and excitement, please come to our Café, have a cup of coffee (or tea or soft drink…). Relax and chat about all interesting design products, different ideas, different styles, different colours, different forms; from different designers, different countries …
Designers, mothers, fathers, ladies, gentlemen, aliens…are all invited.
PS : Designers, please contact us asap, we want to present your designs on our blog.
Here we are, Cafe du Design, a new blog, our new born baby. Work hard, have fun and enjoy !! Shazy
