Located in
muggle London, the Maison Bellerose was opened by Tristan Delaroche. A Frenchman hoping to make his way into the British fashion scene as a French curiosity. Upon the marriage to a witch, the new Mrs. Tristan Delaroche added a magical backroom in
1850 in order to introduce an enchanted selection for the magical society. Do not be fooled, this section has been enchanted to be just as spacious and visually appealing - with an additional bonus of magical decor - as the muggle portion of the shop.
With the move of the current owner - Mrs. Bernadette Fernsby - came the magical entrance from Hogsmeade to the magical portion of Maison Bellerose. Enjoy the convenience of avoiding a risky apparation - in addition to avoiding floo ruining your new dress and accessories.
Brought on by the half-breed ban of
1887, half-breeds and soon-to-be parents of half-breeds enjoy a discount, as a charitable pursuit, as the Muggle side of the business provides ample income to allow for such a thing without the family growing destitute.
Hags will be turned away on sight.
Refreshments are offered, for a nominal fee, in the form of champagne and sweet finger foods such as biscuits and candies.
Enchanted offerings wouldn't be complete without celebrating the beauty of spellcraft, of the display of light seen when casting a spell. Sparks, swirls, whorls, and streaks of enchanted embroidery, often metallic rather than actually glowing.
It wouldn't be magic without astronomy designs, incorporating constellations, stars, and celestial bodies that can be found with a telescope. Of course, some artistic license is taken.
Inspired by nature, some of the garments feature embroidery of natural phenomena such as flowers, leaves, and animals such as birds and foxes.
Witches, immerse yourself in a stroll through the expansive greenhouse garden, magically concealed at the back of the shop. Irises, tulips, roses, and more — the warm fragrances fill the air.
