Paris isn’t known as the fashion capital of the world for nothing! The city is absolutely brimming with excellent boutiques, galleries, and studios.
Christophe Lemaire
The boutique on the bottom floor of this designer’s studio houses his timeless collections in a serene setting. The Le Marais shop opened in 2007 and has been a bastion of clean, sophisticated design ever since.

This Tokyo-based brand created by stylist Sonya Park has its roots in vintage men’s work clothing. Comfort, quality, and utility are the main focus of her designs. The Paris outpost located in Galerie Vivienne is the only Arts & Science shop outside of Japan.

Florence Lopez
This antique dealer’s studio situated in Saint Germain des Prés dates back to the 1920s and features a carefully curated collection of furniture and design items from times gone by. Visits are by appointment only, so plan ahead!
Lydia Courteille
For many years after its inception, this jewelry brand focused solely on vintage pieces. Now, however, the designer creates imaginative and whimsical original designs as well. If you need any more convincing, Karl Lagerfeld has said that this boutique is one of his favorite places in Paris!
Shopping in Paris is always a treat, and these boutiques and galleries are the cream of the crop.
