Not only is the Paris Charvet store's second floor packed with fabrics but it is very much a true workroom with a large cutting table and patterns that are adjusted right on the customer. 
The selection of bow ties and pocket squares is mind-blowing 
Wall of Cuffs at Charvet, ParisI received a few emailed questions wanting to know when Charvet will create a website or start e-commerce. Jean-Claude said that his main concern is color accuracy of the computer images on a website, He is very proud of the high standards of his customers and will wait until he feels confident that the technology is perfected enough that what he shows on a website is what will ship to his customer.
He actually has already done quite a bit of research on the subject and even suggested a Photoshop book to me. I'm guessing that when the Charvet site is ready it will have been worth the wait.
