Habits are hard to break; some people even call on institutions and pay big bucks to shed nasty old behaviors.
I also want to stop thinking that authentic Italian fashion or French perfume can only be purchased outside Romania. And alas, I do see the light springing left and right, on main shopping avenues or unconventional winding streets, like so:
Victoria 46 – unisex international fashion and accessories. Brands: Alexander McQueen, Chloe, Missoni, Roberto Cavalli, Baldessarini, 7 for all Mankind jeans, Tarina Tarantino, Balenciaga. Tip: they’ll park your car in front of the store and do alterations on premises. Price point: starting at 90EUR.
Le Club – mostly feminine Italian fashion and accessories. Brands: Dolce&Gabbana, Valentino, Blumarine, Ana Molinari. Tip: call for a private appointment, which means free counseling. Price point: starting at 200EUR.
