After taking her community camping and to a chalet, the Mother of Paris, understand L\u00e9na Situation<\/strong>, has chosen the BHV Marais as the backdrop for her new pop-up. Just that! Windows, corners, and a caf\u00e9 await visitors to unveil various pieces from her ready-to-wear brand. We went for a tour and today we\u2019re sharing our thoughts on our stay at the BHV’s H\u00f4tel Mahfouf pop-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u00e9na Situation turns BHV into a pink and green paradise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Running from April 5 to 27,<\/strong> the H\u00f4tel Mahfouf pop-up at BHV lets us see life in pink and green – with notes of leopard print and feathers. This new event conceived by L\u00e9na Situation and her teams<\/a> differs from her previous pop-ups dedicated to her brand. Here, H\u00f4tel Mahfouf makes its appearance in one of the most well-known Parisian stores, and this, over 3 floors and more<\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the windows of BHV take on the colors of H\u00f4tel Mahfouf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before checking in, a detour is a must to the windows<\/strong>, which have also donned the colors and illustrations of the brand. We discover creations signed by H\u00f4tel Mahfouf through 6 displays depicting a day in the life. From the bathroom to a car ride, then from a festive moment to a well-deserved post-party pizza break… Pajamas, bags, dresses, and accessories are revealed, setting the tone for this new pop-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 corners to discover H\u00f4tel Mahfouf products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Inside, the one and only Lobby Boy welcomes us, arms laden with suitcases and surrounded by some of the standout products from the collection. Once checked in, we set off to explore the various corners set up<\/strong> in BHV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first floor, we discover some small installations here and there, showcasing products such as mugs, plush toys, combs, and clips… all in pink and leopard print. The heart of the pop-up is a few aisles further, where a small boutique has been set up<\/strong>, dressed entirely in pink. There, we find the entire ready-to-wear collection, as well as accessories and other products like candles and branded H\u00f4tel Mahfouf playing cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staging sections this ephemeral space into a lounge, bedroom, and bathroom, echoing the products offered. Not far off, a photobooth<\/strong> and a bed become a must-stop for those who came to shop and wish to capture the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pieces from the collection are also present on the shelves of the second floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding prices<\/strong>, they are similar, if not higher, than those applied by brands with similar profiles. Given the target audience, this can quickly become too expensive. We notably heard numerous comments about this point during our visit. Additionally, the materials and production of some pieces may deter purchases due to the prices at which they are offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, we observed a concerted effort in this regard, with new pieces produced in France or including recycled materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to order at the BHV H\u00f4tel Mahfouf pop-up caf\u00e9?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Located on the 3rd floor, the caf\u00e9 of the H\u00f4tel Mahfouf pop-up at BHV invites you to take a break between two purchases. On the menu, we discover hot and cold drinks, as well as pastries<\/strong> and savory options. Expect to pay between 4 and 7 euros for pancakes, cookies, donuts, brookies, lemon cake, and acai bowls. And, 8.50\u20ac for the hot dog and 6\u20ac for a spicy cucumber recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For drinks, a nice variety is offered, with prices ranging between 4.5\u20ac and 8\u20ac depending on the size chosen (180ml, 300ml, 400ml, or 600ml). And if you can\u2019t find a seat, you can take your snack to go<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This caf\u00e9 complements the pop-up experience well and echoes what has been done previously. However, once again, the prices are quite high – but fit with this type of Parisian event, let’s say.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what do we think of the H\u00f4tel Mahfouf pop-up at BHV? First of all, we applaud the scale of the event<\/strong>. Having 6 windows, several corners, and a caf\u00e9 within BHV is a remarkable achievement and underscores how invested L\u00e9na Situation and her teams are in developing the brand. And that they have a large community supporting them in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the visit, we would say our feeling is 50\/50. There are beautiful creative ideas, both in the event’s art direction and in the brand’s pieces. Nevertheless, the finishes of the decor and products did not completely convince us<\/strong>. However, the brand is still young and seems open to feedback given the recent changes made. So, it\u2019s a good sign for the evolution of such a project. It’s up to everyone to take a look and form their own opinion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
