BROCHIER SOIERIES Vieux Lyon — Local services in Lyon

Signorino Leonardi (Leo 😉) and his better half Eliza at the sister shop a few doors down at #16 (as featured in the popular Rick Steves video) were truly delightful to deal with. Eliza is a former silk worker turned entrepreneur and artistic benefactor who brought the equally delightful Leo into the business and between the two shops you get an education and a non pushy shopping experience.

I stumbled upon this fabulous place while exploring the Traboules of Vieux Lyon. I was immediately taken by some gorgeous fabric on display just outside the storefront, and was almost magnetically drawn inside. These beautiful scarves, shawls and more are the genuine item... Made in Lyon, France! Eliza Ploia was patient with me and provided excellent service, giving sincere feedback and helping me to decide between just soooo many options. I bought a beautiful Picasso silk screen printed scarf and a silk & wool shawl made using the jacquard weaving technique. Eliza showed me how to tie the scarf in a new way (for me) and I wore it right out of the store. Both are "on display" at home in my apartment....
