About Me
From a young age, I was enchanted by Paris and everything French. To me, anything made in France wasn’t just beautiful—it was better. I dreamed of filling my world with all things Parisian, chasing that timeless elegance and effortless charm. I still remember the magic of buying my first French perfume—Hermès Calèche. It felt less like a purchase and more like discovering a rare gem.

Fast forward twenty years, and I finally set foot in Paris. I brought home as many unique treasures as I could—fashion prints from the early 1900s found along the Seine, a scarf from Montmartre, a dress from Vence, and of course, favorites from the iconic French pharmacies.

When I created Pardon My French, my goal was simple: to personally curate items that capture the magic of Paris. Whether it's to remind you of your first trip, celebrate a friend or loved one’s adventure, or simply to bring a touch of France into your everyday life—I hope you find something here that feels special.

Merci beaucoup, and enjoy!
