Women's Fashions

 

770 - This store on the laid back, yet fashion forward Canal St-Martin has a good mix of vintage and new clothes.
 
Alain Manoukian - Manoukian makes clothes that real women can wear, even if we don’t think we can. 
 
Anna Lowe - No real “Labels” here, despite the location, but the fashions are stylish and well priced. - 104 rue du Faubourg St-Honoré, 8e.
 
Anne Fontaine - This chain specializes in wonderfully tailored blouses in basic white and black, a closet staple for a classically chic look.  The blouses fit all sizes (XS-XL).  You’ll wonder what the fuss is all about until you try one on.  Then you’ll understand. In the Marais and Galleries Lafayette.

Cotelac - This French chain’s line of stylish clothes won’t put too much of a dent in your wallet - 10 rue du Cherche-Midi, 6e.

Free’p’Star – This vintage clothing store is packed from floor to ceiling with great items from the 50’s-80s. - 8 rue St. Croix de la Bretonnerie, 4e.

L’Habilleur - This shop in the Marais offers some affordable options if you want to add a few pieces to your wardrobe.
 
Le Night Shop - This small unisex shop in the Bastille/Republic is open late.  Really late. The 2 a.m.closing time makes it a fun stop after spending the evening in the Bastille.

Rayeure - A lower priced Anne Fontaine. 8 rue Francs-Bourgeoise, 3e.

Reciproque - This is a Huge Luxury Consignment shop.  There are 7 separate boutiques, grouped by item type. - 88-101 rue de la Pompe.

Stella Cadente - Funky fashions from one of the best shops along Canal St-Martin - 93 quai de Valmy, 10e.

Tresor By – This original clothing boutique is in an alley off the rue du Vielle du Temple ~ 6 rue du Tresor, 4e

Zara - You can get runway interpretations at an affordable price from this European fashion chain that has only recently debuted in the US. Locations all over Paris with a boutique in the Galleries Lafayette.


Evening Wear

 

Pronuptia- This shop has some of the most exquisite Wedding gowns we have ever seen.  They also sell floor samples of other dresses at great discount prices.  If you have a formal event coming up, check them out.  If you don’t have a formal event coming up, check them out anyway.  Play dress up for a day. - several locations in Paris including 87 rue de Rivoli, 1e; Printemps de la Maison, 2nd floor.


Lingerie

 

Comme des Femmes - In the ‘City of Love’ you need the right uniform.  And this little lingerie shop has it. The designs are gorgeous and the labels are familiar.  Be aware that while the prices are still relatively high, they are lower than what you’d pay for full retail. - 31 rue St-Placide, 6e.

Chantal Thomass – The Parisian princess of high end bedroom fashion, Chantal Thomass makes lingerie that is both cutting edge and smoking hot. These items come with an appropriately high end price tag but well worth taking a look - 211 rue St. Honore, 1e.

Fifi Chachnil– Tucked in a courtyard off rue St Honore, Fifi is all about the boudoir. Prices here are not for the faint of heart but the pieces are drool worthy. - 231 rue St. Honore, 1e.

Yoba - This beautiful little shop in the 1st is a prime example of how seriously Paris takes it’s Lingerie.  On Thursday nights, there is a woman’s only champagne discussion group. Vive la difference! - 11 rue du Marché St Honoré, 1e.
