        <p><span>You can take the girl out of Paris, but you can&rsquo;t ever take Paris out of the girl. Especially when it comes to her Parisian style and appreciation for that ultimate French look: Chanel. </span></p>
        <p><span>Such is the case for Faby Jaca, founder and creative director of the quintessentially St Barth luxury fashion brand: Lolita Jaca. The Parisian designer has called St Barth her permanent home for decades. Her flagship boutique in Gustavia is the go-to destination for discerning global travelers and fashion insiders wanting to infuse their wardobe with St Barth&rsquo;s luxuriously effortless style. </span></p>
        <p><span>A lifelong investor in Chanel pieces, her love affair with the brand and the fantastical story of Coco Chanel grew into a passion of collecting treasured vintage pieces from the luxury house. It so happens that one of her best friends in Paris is one of the most well-established and respected luxury vintage dealers, through which Faby discovers and invests in coveted pieces. A few years back she had the idea of displaying and selling a few Chanel jewellery pieces in her Lolita Jaca store. The pearl and gold items&mdash;which exude strength, confidence, and classic elegance were the perfect embellishments for finishing off the looks of silky, feminine items in her latest </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">collections. The next thing she knew&mdash;knowing that her source for the rare authentic quality-controlled goods was trustworthy and in Paris&mdash;her clientele increasingly requested more Chanel items. Faby thought: &ldquo;Ask and I shall certainly deliver.&rdquo; She was on to something.</span></p>
      </div>
      <div class="column">
        <p><span>Faby has since expanded from jewellery into handbags. She does not simply discover and collect: she places emphasis on the curation of thoughtfully handpicked items of the highest quality ensuring that they intermix with the Lolita Jaca collections. All of the pieces her clientele finds in her boutique are rare items, statement pieces, conversation starters with stories behind them. </span></p>
        <p><span>Faby&rsquo;s heart has always followed the road that her passions have led her down. As the saying goes, &ldquo;do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.&rdquo; Well the road led Faby to this new hobby-turned-venture, and she is truly living and loving every moment. Now whatever you do in your life, make sure you are wearing a little touch of vintage Chanel in every moment. Visit the Lolita Jaca flagship store or the Lolita Jaca night boutique at Bonito to find your next treasure.</span></p>
