Clergy-worthy

Rubirosas (7th arr)

GOODS & SERVICES • FOUND Shop

The new measure of fine shirting can be found at Rubirosas, in the 7th. It’s the newest venture from jewelry designer Lauren Rubinski, who draws directly on her family history supplying poplin for Vatican clergy. The petite storefront opens into a delightful interior, framed by colorful crisp shirts, finely knit cashmere, tailored sleepwear, and leather slippers. The curated selection is carefully tucked into restored shelving, with shirts starting at around 300 €.

The interior is a burst of color, with a deep red carpet, orange banquette seating, and billowy butter-yellow curtains. The fitting area is drenched in an atmospheric shade of blue. Small busts sit atop fluted plinths and in wall niches, which also display puffy brass heart charms, a nod to Rubinski’s jewelry.

Each branded detail, from shirt labels to shopping totes, and ‘chemise envelopes,’ contributes to the feeling that you’ve stepped into a private world built from the pleasure of detail. There’s ecommerce soon to come and a budding Instagram, but like all great French ateliers, Rubirosas is best experienced in person. –Ilana Curtis
