The stone facade of this long, low shop is carved with the shapes of traditional masks. The carving is beautifully wrought, making the shop stand out, even compared to the other elegant businesses on Osterstrasse. Madame Beaumarteau’s is the premiere boutique for an array of fine costumes as well as fancy masks and more austere garb. Madame Beaumarteau is an aging spinster, stout of limb and heart.
She sews much of her work herself, but employs a gaggle of Halfling seamstresses to assist her. Despite her stern demeanour, she is a kind soul, and will often offer reduced prices to less well-off clients, while overcharging those who are arrogant and abrasive.
