Dear visitor,
Welcome to Retro & Chic Marguerite. A place born from a deep need: to preserve what makes up the soul of our beautiful France.
Traditions are slowly fading… Popular festivals are disappearing, roadside crosses are forgotten, our churches desecrated, our customs abandoned. This slow erasure would have broken the heart of my grandmother Marguerite.
My grandmother Marguerite was a country woman, deeply rooted, who passed on to me the true values of life: respect for the past, love of beauty, and appreciation for what connects us to one another. She taught me that culture only lives if we choose to keep it alive.
This shop is my way of paying tribute to her, and of sharing the French memory the one that lives in old objects, forgotten gestures, and stories passed down.

Where Objects Still Speak
The floorboards creak like an old secret. Toto the dog, dressed up, tiptoes across the room. The hens stir,half startled, half amused,Their clucks rise like lines from a play.
The baby bunnies hide beneath crumpled sheets. Coffee bubbles gently, the razor hums in morning light. A bell chimes, the clock hands sing, And childhood enters,eyes bright, heart in bloom.
Here, each object holds a season, A touch, a sigh, a scent, a song.
Retro Chic Marguerite is all this,and more: A quiet tribute, a thread of memory,
A soft light shining on the past.
Between two churches, the wind still speaks of me… it has never forgotten my hurried steps.
Fragments of life, galleries of yesterday and emotion ,embroidered in the memories of my dressmaker great-aunt.
