Introducing
Valérie Mélanie Engel, a fashion visionary with roots in the Caribbean and France. With significant experience at the prestigious Chanel fashion house, Valérie was a key member of the Image team for several years, first in the South of France and later in Paris. Her journey included participation in numerous fashion events, shows, and shop openings, enriching her expertise in the industry.

Valérie holds a degree in fashion business from a renowned fashion school in Paris, which laid the foundation for her successful career. Following her dreams, she moved to Miami to establish her boutique, Chic Connoisseur, where she brought her unique French style to South Beach.

Six years later, after welcoming two beautiful children, Valérie transitioned her boutique to an online platform, offering personalized shopping experiences and local deliveries. This unique approach allows her to create a distinctive shopping environment while also launching her own Chic Connoisseur mommy and me line and participating in local events—all while balancing her time with family. ♡
