CITY GUIDE - PARIS, BEST CONCEPT STORES

If you are traveling to Paris and you're thinking about shopping for your home, you have two great opportunities: Parisian amazing flea markets for second hand special pieces or the unique concept stores for contemporary latests.

Hereby we are recommending you the unmissable best Parisian concept stores:

- FLEUX, 39 Rue Sainte-Croix de la Bretonnerie, 75004 Paris
Around 350sq meters of great design selection varying from minimal sofas to colorful iPad sleeves, as well as unique bed throws and sophisticated terrariums. Have a look below to get an idea of what you can find there.

- MERCI, 111 Boulevard Beaumarchais, 75003 Paris
Merci concept store is located in an old wallpaper factory. Visiting Merci is really an experience on its own: within its 1500sq meters of store you can find one restaurant and two cafés, all surrounded by the most eclectic variety of goods including fashion and accessorizes.

- SENTOU, 29 Rue François Miron, 75004 Paris
Sentou is a design gallery but has also its trade mark of furniture, objects and lighting. Being one of the oldest Parisian interior design boutique and manufacture, it nowadays represents a destination for design lovers and keen buyers.

DESIGN SHOP: COS X HAY

Actually it makes a lot of sense: COS + HAY.

The Scandi clothing brand COS (my favourite shop for clothes and accessories, as my good friends Ilaria and Pragya know very well) and Danish designers HAY joined their aestetics into a curated collaboration featuring dreamy classic and unique pieces.

In London the homeware collection is available at COS Hi St Ken (124/126 Kensington High St, W8 7RL), while a selection of items are also available online here.

Enjoy the gallery!
