Buddug's Birds

Buddug's birds flew (ahem) into Precursor this week and they are awesome. Along with the perched Blackbirds we've been raving about since our opening, Buddug has also sent us a rather bonkers, but all the same rather brilliant, giant Crow - perfect for a show-stopping entrance this Christmas. We also have two new smaller bird headbands if you're not feeling quite brave enough for the Crow - flying birds in grey and black...


Giant Crow headband by Buddug (55€)


Perched Blackbird Headband by Buddug (30€)

Lucky Magazine

This morning got off to a good start with an in store photo shoot with the lovely people at Lucky magazine from New York.

Building a collection of their 50 favourite Parisian stores, Precursor will be featured in the Lucky Paris City Guide soon. Can't wait! We'll keep you posted on when it gets published so you too can take a peek.

And tomorrow will see more photography in the shop as we start snapping the new collection - keep an eye on our blog for more details, or head down to Precursor this Saturday to see it in person (and enjoy a glass of wine while you're shopping!).

Mwah,

Precursor's First Blog

Welcome to the first post on the new Precursor blog site - launched to keep you up to date on new arrivals, happenings and general gossip here at Precursor.

As well as showcasing forthcoming seasonal collections from some of our staple brands, we'll also be posting the new monthly deliveries from Public Beware, Hurwundeki and Albam, amongst other little gems that regularly arrive on our doorstep.

Our next new collection will be in store on Saturday 29th November and to give you plenty of time to shop till you drop, we're extending our opening hours that day from 11am - 10pm. And if all those shopping hours sound exhausting, fear not as we'll have plenty of wine and Christmas treats on hand to revive you!

As with our regular collection, many of the new arrivals are limited edition pieces. We'll be posting pictures of some of our favourite bits in the run up to their arrival on 29th November - so keep an eye on our blog and visit the store soon to avoid disappointment!

Tally ho,
