The Comité Directeur

CHAIRMAN’S EDITORIAL

On behalf of the Vendome Committee which I have the honour to represent, allow me to welcome you to our number.   Whether your steps guide you to Place Vendome for business, to find an exceptional piece or simply something chic, you are sure to find there the quintessence of good taste. This Parisian taste which is unique in the world, that we have cultivated and defended in our prestigious luxury goods firms for centuries and which was born here! The great jewellers, the goldsmiths, the masters of finance, the succession of great fashion houses have passed on their know-how behind the closed doors of their private mansions. And even though the big firms are today present worldwide, from Shanghai to Dubai, Place Vendome and the surrounding quarter remains the Holy of Holies: the place where it all began, where the magic is made.
