In addition to purchasing directly from brand-name stores, there are many boutiques in Europe that have official distributor agreements with each brand.
I have introduced in another article that there is a store from which I have been purchasing goods regularly for the past few years, and I will also be introducing the products from that store on this site.
Tomorrow I'm planning to meet the manager of that store. There's nothing special going on, but actually visiting the store will give me a good idea of what the current state of the store is.
You can get a good understanding of a store based on two things: the people involved and the current state of the store.
The management's policies, the daily business operations, the store's display and cleanliness, and the behavior of the staff - these things cannot deceive the public.
I'm really looking forward to seeing whether they have made any further improvements since last time.
