Sacramento boutique embraces all things French
Ever since a whirlwind European trip during college 15 years ago, Tassina Placencia has been hooked on Paris. “Anytime I had extra money or time, Paris is where I’d be. My friends said, ‘Find a new place!’ but I loved it.”
Placencia, who grew up in Lodi and has lived in Sacramento for more than a decade, always wanted to bring her favorite city home. Her new boutique ― fittingly named Le Petit Paris ― in Sacramento’s Midtown Boutique District does just that. Her inventory runs from flea-market finds and charming toys to elegant handbags. This spring, Placencia is excited about her flirty scarves in tissuelike pastel silks and her ruffled, dotted bloomers for girls.
Scoping out such discoveries in Paris is just part of the city’s draw.
