A stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower, this women's boutique does all the work for you, with a handpicked collection of standout clothing and accessories from the best smaller French and European labels like Diega, Pomandere, Absolut Cashmere, Laurence Bras, Apuntob, C.T. Plage, and much more. It's an excellent one-stop shop for immediate Parisian chic.
One of the more creative French chains for women's clothing, Berenice has made an international splash for its of-the-moment styles, quality fabrics, and the kind of classic tailoring Parisians adore. Separates run the gamut from bold and bright to streamlined and understated, but they're always versatile and suitable for a wide range of ages. Accessories include shoes, belts, and bags in fun materials, like python-print or studded leather.
If new Parisian designer duds are a bit out of your price range, you might consider this classy depot-vente (consignment shop), where chic neighborhood ladies and men deposit last year's barely worn loot. Its clean, artfully displayed stash of A-list designer clothing, accessories, jewelry, scarves, watches, and shoes can be had for half or less than retail, plus some stellar vintage wear is also for sale. Standouts have included a crocodile Hermès Birkin bag, Cartier watches, and a Chanel leather coat.
This popular chain for women champions casual French fashions with a romantic feminine touch, from angora sweaters in sorbet colors to lightweight linen T-shirts. Everything from snazzy sneakers to scarves, bags, and belts is chic and top-quality. The boutique's soft, comfy jeans are especially sought after.
This is a go-to address for top-quality Parisian fashion staples that always look of-the-moment but have the lasting power to remain stylish season after season. Ready-to-wear separates in silk, cotton, wool, cashmere, and leather come in pleasing prints and chic solids that look great on women of all ages. Look for standout leather jackets and well-priced accessories.
