Dear Couture Enthusiast,

Susan Khalje's professional standing and contacts in Paris have made it possible to arrange an amazing program that provides an insider's view of the couture arts in Paris.

Picture yourself buying fabric at exclusive haute couture resources, then finding the perfect buttons and trims at a charming Paris boutique…

.....or relaxing, after a private lecture at Paris's premiere vintage clothing resource, surveying the City of Light from the Eiffel Tower, looking forward to an all-day draping session the next day with a couture master.....

.....or visiting the workshop of an artisan who supplies the couture, after a morning spent at the Musée des Arts de la Mode.

We'll do all of this and more, during nine magical and unforgettable days in Paris.

I hope you can join me for this incredible fashion adventure!

P.S.: A note from a thrilled student:
"Susan I just don’t know how to even begin to thank you for all you did to make The Paris Trip a truly outstanding and exceptionally enjoyable experience. The blend of culture and educational experiences – to say nothing of meeting some of the most charming and sweet people on earth, blended together with a common thread of laughter and joy was truly a wonderful experience. And then of course there was the shopping! It’s true; you do know the nicest people in France. And thank you for sharing them with us. The trip so exceed any and all of my expectations. And on top of it all – like icing on a cake (or good top stitching on a jacket) - you arranged to have such nice women on the tour. I met people I trust will become lifetime friends."

Thank you.
