Les Filles Frou Frou at Guiq-Chaq

We were excited to be contacted by Tuulia, Cloudberry Lady, a Finnish Inde Brand who asked if Shinkurose would like to be included in small Pop Up shop (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Guiq-Chaq/176010795939467) in Paris just after La Vie en Rose.  We said yes and together with four other designers Les Filles Frou Frou came about.   The purpose of this shop was to promote European lolita designers and creators

The shop opened on February 24th and ran for three weeks with five designers in total and one digital artist coming from Sweden, Germany, Switzerland the UK and Finland. 

The Designers were as follows:

The shop looked amazing and we wished we could have been there -










We love the way that all the designers items were displayed together and not segregated, it just shows how well everyone's designs complemented each other and it would be great to do this again sometime soon.  There is so much talent in Europe.

Here are a few of Shinkurose's happy customers.






We would like to say thank you to Mikiko Enomoto for looking after the shop and selling our much loved items. It would be great to be part of a pop up shop in Paris again in the future but next time we would love to attend.
