Private tours in Paris with a fashion expert
Textile Shopping Tours
Paris is home to numerous specialty shops offering a wide variety of textiles, notions, and embellishments. Many have supplied designers and haute couture houses for decades, with some having existed for centuries!
Have you ever been to a shop with over 5 million buttons? Perhaps one of your designs could use sequins made at the turn of the 20th century? Maybe you’re a milliner looking for the perfect trims and forms? Do you have a special project you’d like to create but need some inspiration?
With two separate garment districts in Paris, there are so many opportunities to elevate your creative projects with supplies you can find during my personalized guided textile tour.
3 hours for 1-2 people €400
Each extra person €150 max 6
Paris Couture Shopping
While Haute Couture is a very protected category of creation that most people cannot attain, the general public can still find hand-crafted, bespoke items and various houses that supply the world of Haute Couture. Many of these couture ateliers, suppliers, and craftspeople have examples of their creations in stock and some can make you something all your own.
When I say it fits like a glove, I mean actual gloves handmade for you by a craftsperson who supplies pieces for fashion brands, costume departments, and you! Shop for a hat with the milliner who created it or order a bouquet of the most realistic hand-made silk flowers you have ever seen. I have a considerable number of craftspeople to introduce you to.
This tour can be a sourcing mission for your work or a simple shopping trip, it’s up to you!
