Espace Canelle

France Balivet, owner of the Espace Canelle boutique, is one of Estoril’s most memorable characters. She was the first in the area to open a store featuring major clothing brands, the first to lend clothes for local magazine fashion shoots, and the first to buy wares from new designers directly from international fashion shows. And she did it all 30 years ago. She offers Etro, Bluemarine, Alberta Ferretti, Missoni, Barbara Bui, Diane Von Furstenberg and also some more affordable pieces. If you are going to a party and don’t know what to wear, knock on France’s door.
