They don’t make them like this anymore – neither the clothes, millinery, lingerie nor Yvonne herself, a businesswoman who has outfitted generations of local ladies for weddings, debuts and race days. She makes her own floral perfumes and gorgeous hats, overflowing with silk flowers, that seem to belong to another era. Gentility, grace, style – thy name is Yvonne La Fleur.
Among newer popular items are her line of Magic Pants, and her cards with suggested gifts based on price. Need a stocking stuffer for under $10? She's got suggestions. Need a graduation gift that's around $75? That's here too. All of it's beautifully designed, but you come here to be sublimely taken care of by Yvonne herself. If all retail experiences were like this, online shopping wouldn't have the boa-constrictor grip it does today.
