FASHION SHOPS
Hermès Rive Gauche
The bespoke luxury goods maker moves into interiors and into a spectacular new Rive Gauche flagship. Custom-made, of course.
Dries Van Noten Men
To enter this temple of modern cool you will need to buzz. But don’t be shy if you want to make the dashing choice for the dandy about town.
Le Coq Sportif
This most Gallic of French sports outfitters has just opened a new space in the buzzing Montorgueil quartier. Truly deserves a ringing cock-a-doodle-doo - or cocorico as the French would crow.
Balenciaga Homme
As far as style statements go, few come more sophisticated and intelligent as those issued by the House of Balenciaga and their first men’s retail space reflects just that. Bring on Boylenciaga.
Ralph Lauren
The high priest of preppy has installed a swank new store in the heart of the Left Bank. And as ever at Ralph Lauren, it’s the same answer to the question ‘to be or not to be’. Let’s be equestrian!
LE66
Aloof and pretentious? Sure. But also unmistakably Parisian and part of the reason you came to visit in the first place.
L'Eclaireur Homme
The branch of the L’Eclaireur chain totally dedicated to men, it continues the store’s ethos of promoting young designers alongside high-end, edgy names.
Kitsuné Shop
Music scenesters turned fashion aficionados serve up casualwear in an old-school store.
Mistigriff
The stores may look very budget Oxfam and feel like trailer park territory, but the clothes are genuine alright and the discounts attractive enough.
Surface to Air
The universe of Surface to Air stretches much further than print T-shirts and their Paris digs reflect this creative lab mentality.
Colette
Cool collaborations, designer duds and limited editions come together at Colette, the iconic concept store.
April 77
Fashion and music meet in this Biba-esque store offering slimline denim and retro vinyl under a circular roof.
Louis Vuitton
As much a must-see destination as a shopping experience, Eric Carlson’s home for this super-brand is seven floors of impeccably designed retail heaven.
