Wager everything on the perfect Maison Labiche shirt
A perfectly cut shirt remains the piece capable of saving the day in case of fashion burnout. It brings allure à to any pair of pants and an instant radiant complexion in blue or white hues. Yet, it’s hard to find the perfect model. Except at Maison Labiche, the new Parisienne reference, whose models and cotton quality always keep their promises.
The good accessories: just know that a shirt goes with everything.
