Lea Cougoule Devergne
Léa, a French woman of Italian origin with a radiant charm, has always been passionate about vintage fashion.
She grew up in the poetic world of antique objects, immersed in the universe of her mother, an antique dealer. From a very young age, she frequented the Saint-Ouen Flea Market, a true temple of vintage items and forgotten treasures, where she began to hunt for and sell her first pieces. At only thirteen, she discovered her very first acquisition: a pair of Prada boots that she would never part with. From that day on, her eye sharpened, her taste affirmed, and her passion became a true art of living.
In December 2024, she finally realized her dream: to open her own vintage boutique, a place where every object tells a story. Léa carefully and sensitively selects each piece, favoring the unique, the singular, the beautiful. Her collection spans decades, from the 50s to the 2000s, and reflects her love for materials, iconic shapes, and authentic details.
The Art of Sourcing and the Hunt for the Rare Piece
Always on the lookout for unique pieces, Léa regularly travels to northern and southern Italy to unearth designer treasures dating from the 1950s to the 2000s. Over the years, she has built up a valuable network of collectors and enthusiasts whose wardrobes and archives are full of real gems, as well as numerous contacts at flea markets where rare pieces can still be found. Between on-site sourcing, auctions, and meetings with sellers from all walks of life, each selection is the result of meticulous research guided by the desire to find exceptional clothing and accessories with a story to tell.

Each item is carefully selected and verified by Léa, who draws on her experience and knowledge of major fashion houses to recognize the details that make all the difference.
