Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes to create our traffic-stopping window displays? Here's a sneak-peak at Southport's new window in the making - we're calling it Le Marais (after Paris's old aristocratic district now a trendy hub of fashion, art and beautiful people). Imagine an attic apartment in one of the grand old buildings, a little messy but full of beauty, light, the smell of coffee, the sound of car horns and John Coltrane. An artist's retreat from the world into a personal, eclectic sanctuary. Crystal sits happily beside African pottery. Lace and marble, inherited linens and a grand black timber chandelier...this is the story behind our new window, Le Marais and it's due to be unveiled this Friday.
Themed around the purity of a black and white pallet - with subtle shades of grey and taupe in between - let's follow Creative Director Alissa downstairs as she starts to create the mood board that will also double as window prop - like the random collected inspirations of our Le Marais heroine's imaginings.

So, there you have it, a small insight into the creative hub of St Barts. We're really excited about this first window of 2014 - it's sure to set the stage for a great new year. Come in from Friday and see the new window, we'd love to take you on a journey to Le Marais! If you can't make it, check out our instagram feed @stbartsstores and we'll post you a pic.
