Paris Haute Spots
In doing research for our upcoming trip to Paris, I came upon an article from JC Report on 5 of the hottest destination shops in Paris.
Turns out Chanel isn’t the only destination shop in Paris.
1. Version Vendome and Kreon, 1 bis, place de Valois
Version Vendome offers contemporary furnishings, including wooden tables with sinuous lines, cubic chairs embedded with nails and baroque-inspired, and red resin chandeliers.
2. 7L, 7 rue de Lille
Karl Lagerfeld (yes, the one and only), a self-proclaimed bibliophile, owns this Saint Germain bookstore, which houses a discerning collection of books and magazines.
3. Mona, 17 rue Bonaparte
A womens-wear shop, Mona carries frocks from Stella McCartney, sleek Lanvin silk shifts, pleated chiffon dresses by Derek Lam, knit swimwear from Missoni and Charles Anastase’s coats.
4. Jerome Dreyfuss, 1 rue Jacob
Luxury handbag destination which carries soft supple leather bags that come in exotic skins and a wide selection of colors.
5. Shimji, 7 rue du Perche
Shimji’s well-edited selection of edgy Japanese and European designers—including including Kiminori Morishita, Share Spirit, Petar Petrov, Numero 10 and Piero Guidi—is a welcome alternative.
