Expert Tips for Paris Shopping

  • #

    Cazak: "If you are feeling disheartened about the doll-sized clothing stocked in most Parisian boutiques, head to this shop just near the Champs-Elysees. Beautiful wardrobe pieces for the amply endowed come in all plus sizes and from several designers. Don't forget to ask about Karen's Magic Pants, they are super slimming and above all, comfortable to wear."

    Marina Rinaldi: "Gone are the days when a real woman must dress in a burlap bag. Glory for that! This shop will have you waltzing through the aisles as you choose trendy dresses, fun prints cut for skirts, matching blouses and even accessories to tie your look together. The brand's motto is 'inclusivity.' And your shopping motto here is 'Sexy Queen.'"

    Kookai Stock: "When you find one of these outlet brand boutiques in Paris, you really must covet the address. They are not always in plain site, and the visitor to Paris is often encouraged to pay full retail for things. However, if you seek out these discount/outlet shops which dot certain neighborhoods of Paris, you'll be able to stretch your shopping budget that much farther."

About Paris Shopping

Paris Shopping can be simplified into an easy equation of an area or a neighborhood for a category. Example : fine jewelry and watches, head to Place Vendôme. Luxury designer-wear, it’s Rue St.-Honoré or Avenue Montaigne. For perfume, you’ll find a high concentration of the world’s best pefume boutiques on Rue des Francs-Bourgeois in the Marais. For antiques and top-end home design it’s Rue Saint Pères and environs in St.-Germain-des-Prés.

For the foodies head to rue Montorgeuil just behind Les Halles, La Grande Epicerie which is the food emporium of the Left Bank’s Le Bon Marché department store, or the shops like La Maison de la Truffe and Fauchon that encircle Place de la Madeleine.

A wine lover is sure to delight in the many wine shops in Paris and for the sheer pleasure of the vibrant colors and fragrances of flowers, a stroll through the Marché aux Fleurs on the Ile de la Cité is joy itself. The beloved Ile St.-Louis is just a hop-and-a-skip from there, so why not top it off with a stroll around its shops, not forgetting to pick up some treats at Berthillon and Première Pression Provence for souvenirs or as gifts.
