Printemps at One Wall St. is one of the coolest places to shop in Lower Manhattan, in part because of its incredible designer collection and also because you can eat incredibly well after blowing your budget on a pair of Jimmy Choos (worth it!). But did you know that the French department store is also a go-to spot in the neighborhood for classes and events? Mais oui! This month, Printemps is offering a smattering of excellent happenings, including a couple couture pop-ups and an opportunity to discover your color season. See below for details, and check out our community calendar for more hot events in the neighborhood.
