Temptation, On Sale
While some of us may not live in Paris, (sob!) thankfully we have access to Eric Bompard through the modern miracle of online shopping. Et les soldes, aussi!
The sale starts Wednesday. Here are some pieces worth watching…
|
Short sleeve silk tee in “Goyave.” Bompard isn’t just for cashmere. I purchased a similar tee during last year’s online sale in a pewter silk charmeuse, and wore it like crazy during the warmer months. Love this color above!
Fitted v-neck sweater in 70% cashmere, 30% silk. I have this sweater in grey and navy, and it’s a winner for fit and style. Alas, they don’t seem to have navy available currently (for those who are inspired by Ines dl F’s style picks) but this “Freesia Pink” is a lovely option if your cool weather wardrobe needs a shot of color.
If your style leans toward the classic, this cotton/cashmere jacket in navy is just the thing. Also available in that lovely “Goyave” (guava) color for those who dare. (Black and light grey too.)
It’s hard to go wrong with a classic cardigan, especially one like this in a gorgeous turquoise. Cotton 70%, Cashmere 30%, available in several colors.
I’m very picky about my leopard prints, but this looks like a good one. Cashmere mini leopard stole.
And here’s one of my personal favorites, the lightweight cashmere lace scarf. It’s available in several gorgeous colors. The yarn on these is incredibly soft and light; they provide warmth with negligible weight or bulk.
Sizing for Eric Bompard pieces can vary, but I find they tend to run true to the measurements given. My suggestion is to find a sweater that fits to your liking, lay on a flat surface and measure across the bust, then compare to the measurements listed by item for each size. Be aware that not all garments are cut the same. In the fitted sweater I need a larger size than for the more roomy silk tee. Check measurements on *each* style to determine your size.
Also, be aware that it can take up to a few weeks after placing an order to receive your items, especially in the US. Everything is shipped from France, and especially during sales, items ordered may not ship for a few days.
So what’s on your wishlist?

Ooooh, Pseu, great choices. I hate to tell you this, but. . .
On my agenda: Mercredi, Paris, Bompard.
Wish you were here. I really, really do wish you were here. Bompard, gossip, wine. What could be better?
xo,
Tish
The tee looks like a great style and I can see why it is a go to basic.
I will check out the Eric B. sale later today…thank you for the alert!
Hope the appliance woes are a distant memory.
Maybe Eric B. is a happy distraction!
Tish – nothing better, for sure. I’m already obsessing about getting back to Paris…
hostess – thanks to the appliances, I probably won’t indulge in the sale beyond the tee, but a girl can dream.
The turquoise cardigan looks so . . . touchable. Even though we’re having temps in the 90’s, these tops look yummy. Thanks for the peek.
Like the leopard stole and the silk tee – but an apartment in Paris is top of my wishlist!
Here’s a tip; The sale starts Wed. FRENCH time. So, depending where you are, France is, for example, 6 hrs ahead. I will be on that site Tues. evening b/c by then it will be Wed. in France. I always buy the v-cardi, it fits me.
I have very occasionally had to return something; it’s a lot cheaper than a ticket to Paris.
Oh my, the Goyave silk tee and the leopard stole. I wonder the tee has some kind of styling at the bottom of the neckline or if that is just a shadow.
Here’s hoping we can all get back to Paris soon!
To get a perfect size online, is really difficult, even with all the measures.
I guess, this is one of the reasons, I quit online shopping.
I’m drooling over the second sweater.
Thank you so much for commenting on my blog today. Your kind words of encouragement mean the world to me. I look forward to sharing vintage with you for years to come!
I wish I had been able to find time to visit the Bompard store while I was in Paris. Not being sure of the fit when buying from overseas is a big deterrent for me. Next time!
Love the colors. And must admit that I love, love, love the leopard print scarf!
(I’ve been looking for one for AGES and haven’t been able to find one. This would be perfection!)
To all interested, the sale is officially on now!
Patti – based on my other Bompard pieces, I’ll bet it’s wonderfully soft.
Susan Tiner – I don’t think there’s any styling on the neckline, think it’s just shadow. I second the return to Paris wish!!
That’s Not My Age – well, yes. But at least there’s Bompard to hold us over…
metscan – true, but I’ve found they do stick to measurements shown, and with knit items it’s a little bit easier to get a good fit.
Duchesse – thanks for the tip! The sale is already on. True about returns vs. ticket to Paris.
Terri – isn’t it lovely??
Couture Allure – you’re very welcome! I read your blog every day and so enjoy seeing the vintage clothing. It’s definitely worth a visit, but they have several Paris stores, so be sure to find one of the larger ones with a broader selection of merchandise. Beautiful cashmere, and pretty reasonably priced!
Big Little Wolf – I know, that one is VERY tempting…
Thank you for this post! You added silk tees to my list of “that looks lovely” items. They look wonderful for the summer months – or for winter layering!
Definately the leo print and the fitted v-neck.
Still thinking about the color to choose – feather grey – tea rose – atoll…
Oooh. I just bought the grey fitted v-neck … Such a bargain (assuming it fits ok, small is often too big for me)! Can’t wait for it to arrive.
