Today, Fabienne and Franco have established themselves as leaders in the highly competitive world of antiques and vintage – and they even brought their daughter, Sara, into the family business for six years before she found her own path as a life coach. Throughout it all, the business has flourished thanks to the love on which it was founded. “Our relationship as husband and wife has been so important to our business,” says Fabienne. “We are still in love after more than 30 years, but we are also very different. Franco is the true antique dealer and I am more of a modern girl – but, even though we have completely different tastes, we won’t buy what the other doesn’t like. That has always helped us to be very innovative. Without that, we would not be who we are today.”
