Good news for all of you bathing beauties out there. Renowned luxe apothecary, LAFCO (luxury articles and fragrance company) New York, is set to open in October at Highland Park Village. They will stock all European imports including the famed line Santa Maria Novella, made by the most prestigious and oldest pharmacy in the world. To read more about the new addition and see what Jon Bresler, owner and founder of LAFCO New York has this to say about coming to Dallas, follow the jump.
“The exceptional location of Highland Park Village, the first shopping center in America and the epicenter of luxury and prestige in the state of Texas with its Historical Landmark status, is the perfect fit for LAFCO’s stable of luxe lines” says Mr. Bresler. “We cater to those in search of the best in niche perfumery and extraordinary artisanal bath, body and home fragrance products.”
LAFCO’s new 600 square foot space, designed by Creative Director, Vincent LaRouche, is adorned with sleek, Italian limestone floors and large bay windows original to the chic, early 1930’s Spanish design. LaRouche stripped down the space to its barest minimum to create a clean and modern luxury environment. Contemporary solid natural oak cabinets imported from Italy and designed specifically for the space are highlighted by black lacquered doors and counter tops. LaRouche had the brick walls painted white and collaborated with stylish Brooklyn furniture designer Eric Slayton to create special display fixtures of oxidized metal and glass giving the space an edgy and sophisticated “downtown New York” feeling.

LAFCO House & Home candles – The luxury candles that created a sensation from the first day that they were launched; a candle for every room and every home.
