La Petite Boutique

This jewel-box boutique is a good example of Vienna’s ever-changing creative scene. For years it served as the atelier of talented designer Sandra Gilles whose line of whimsical hand and market bags, as well as sleepwear and some fashion, developed a real hipster following. With Gilles having returned to her native France, the boutique has been taken over by goldsmith Michaela Arl de Lima who produces a line of high-end gold jewelry in the back of the shop. The plan is for Gilles to return once or twice a year for a shopping event with her latest design.
