La Quaintrelle

The word quaintrelle might be new to you, but if you’ve found this site, and feel the style of the dresses and vintage inspired products reflect you and your personality, chances are you are a quaintrelle yourself! A quaintrelle is defined as “a woman who emphasizes a life of passion expressed through personal style, leisurely pastimes, charm, and cultivation of life’s pleasures.”[1] Definitely you? Well, you’re in the right place. For a quaintrelle, it’s important that her style expresses her inner-being and character, and she is more concerned with things she likes, rather than what might be in fashion. From a lifestyle perspective, a quaintrelle also pursues and makes time for things that are important to her. While quaintrellism is mostly about a way of living, personal style in clothing is certainly an aspect of that. At La Quaintrelle, we've developed an inventory of products that might not appeal to the masses, but they do help a select niche segment of the market better express her personal sense of style. Our dresses and other vintage inspired products are unique in design and usually have some feature that we think is particularly “enchanting”. Maybe it’s the fabric, maybe it’s the special collar design or belt detail. Each dress has been carefully chosen because we believe each and every one we select is a dress that helps you better express who you are. Thanks so much for taking the time to browse. We appreciate your business and welcome all feedback and suggestions. Enjoy!
