Is anyone a fan of this brand? They have limited editions out at the moment which are very pretty indeed although they seem to be available only in France.

hey! I'm bumping this. I have been curious about this brand too. I live in the US but about a year ago I read (I think in Nylon) that Bloomingdales and select other stores would be carrying these popular french tennis shoes come last spring (2008). Well I spent the summer in NY and asked salespeople at the lex and soho bloomingdales as well as barney's Co-op. Nobody knew what I was talking about. Has anyone actually found them in the US yet? Maybe they changed their minds about selling them here.

I just think they are really cute simple comfy-looking casual shoes and being American, they aren't seen everywhere here like converse are. Plus I hear they aren't very expensive...
