Part-Time Sales Associate for Luxury French Boutique (Westport)

AN ORIGINAL, FEMININE AND COMFORTABLE STYLE Founded in 1993, on the shores of Nantua Lake, by Pierre Pernod and Raphaëlle Cavalli, Cotélac is a French brand that is renowned for its highly-distinctive positioning in “designer” ready-to-wear. Similar to traditional craftsmanship, treating fabrics make its garments stand out from the crowd. Folds, dye-sublimation, inlays... the prints and the exquisite details are more than just savoir-faire: they are hallmark. Cotélac workshops are well established in France where fabrics are pleated and printed on one by one with all the care and attention they deserve.
