The shop asks Alice Rocard and Lucie Launay a lot of work, while, at the same time, they both pursue higher education. “We often work in the evening, after school”, admits Alice Rocard. _ “_Sometimes we sew until 11:30 p.m. or midnight! But we don’t mind, it’s really a passion, and when you love you don’t count. “

Soon new accessories

For now, accessories for Au fil du temps 53 are only available on the Internet, through their Online Store or on social networks Instagram and Facebook. But young entrepreneurs are thinking about partnerships with local Laval boutiques, to exhibit their products. “In the meantime, we will continue to develop the brand, by offering new accessories”, assures Alice Rocard. “This summer, we would like to sell our products on the seaside markets. And why not have a year-round stand at the Laval market on Saturday mornings!”
