La Bourrache

La Bourrache is a new boutique in Preuilly, run by makers Natacha and Grégory. She sews items made from textiles that have had a previous life as something else. He brews beer. Both activities take place on the site of the former domestic garage that they have taken over, and they live in the house on the other side of a courtyard. The boutique is in rue des douves, behind the post office.

When I saw the title of your post, I thought you would be writing about the plant, Borage!
Do they sell huile de bourrache?
Did they tell you why they gave this plant’s name to their boutique?

chm: I don't know if they sell borage oil, they might do. And I can't remember why they called the boutique La Bourrache, although I have been told.
