Shop like a savvy Parisian

Launched in the summer of 2017, this small, colourful shop has a great line in classic but non-cheesy gifts 100% made in France – think bonbons, berets and Breton-striped tops, but also Marseille soap, postcards and vintage Deyrolle prints.

This stylist-beloved haunt offers endless colour-coded racks of prime second-hand designer threads – there’s a lot of Yves Saint-Laurent, but also Céline, Lanvin, Chanel and co. OK, so prices aren’t dirt cheap, but it’s still a massive bargain for the quality.

This game-changing Haut Marais bazaar is as buzzy as ever. The accent is mostly on home décor, but you’ll also find cool accessories and men’s and women’s fashion, as well as stationery – all with a timeless feel that belies the prices.

For diaries, wrapping paper and wallpaper in super-bold, fashion-forward motifs, this wonderful Paris- and Tokyo-based stationery brand is hard to beat. Look out for its hook-ups with fellow French brands such as Diptyque.

The new French outpost of this Paris-born label is like nowhere else in town: a magnificent 18th-century-style apothecary stocking pomades, potions and perfumes with a grand café, pop-up store, Japanese bakery and dried flower shop.
