The Right Way
Is Our Only Way
Peninou is the oldest continuously operating French Laundry in the United States, and we perform all of our dry cleaning and garment services in-house to this day. We still make our own natural starch from scratch. And we hand-finish every shirt with a gentle steam iron, the old world way.
