Treasure hunter
Flea markets, street brocantes, auction houses, vintage, antique and even thrift shops, we’ve got your destination on lock. No matter what your budget is or who you are shopping for we can help you find that holy grail item.
Fashion Plate
From the grand magasins (department stores) to the golden triangle, French concept shops to curated archives, your heart's desire awaits with some of the best shopping in the world. We’ll help you narrow it down and decide the best places for you to hit.
Flaneur/flaneuse
Flaneur means to wander, and it’s our favourite pastime. Through palace gardens, down beautiful boulevards and tiny winding streets; a little window shopping on your way to a table on a terrace with a glass of wine is one of the true joys of life.
Creative artist
Savoir-faire is at the heart of Paris, in fashion and everything else. The pride of the artisan is not only shown in their meticulous work but is felt by those of us lucky enough to take the time to be inspired by them. Craftsmanship is not a word but a protected and valuable part of life in France, whether it’s fashion, architecture, art, or food.
Museum maven
Fashion is an important part of French culture with many incredible dedicated fashion museums in Paris. Even major museums examine how fashion, art, and culture relate to each other in their own exhibitions. Museums dedicated to photography, design objects, and fine art, often present important fashion works alongside their collections to facilitate new conversations.
History buff
The centre of fashion for over 400 years, the history of fashion is the history of Paris. From the courts of Versailles to the beautiful covered passages, Paris has been shaped by the appetites of it’s people for the best that money can buy. The centuries-old jewelry shops of the Place Vendome are also where the world of haute couture began, giving us the blueprint for fashion as we know it today.
Paris Passages
Experience what it was like for Parisians during the early 19th century when fortunes were up and the middle class was on the rise. On this 3 hour tour through some of the most beautiful and historic covered passages in Paris you’ll trace the fall of the monarchy and the rise of the middle class beginning at the Palais Royal with its amazing art filled gardens and shops under the colonnades. You’ll have time to explore the variety of stores with some special stops I will plan just for you. Afterward we will stop at a neighbourhood bistro to enjoy a café or wine and some excellent people watching.

After this incredible tour through the archives I’ll introduce you to the beautifully redesigned Dior flagship store featuring the current collections for men and women, housewares, unique artist designed bags, a charming cafe, and so much more.

This service is for artists and designers who are looking for specialty supplies for their work. We can connect you with suppliers, specialty ateliers, and shops that carry or create materials for use in haute couture, textile art or just fashion design in general. This is generally around the garment districts (yes, there’s more than one!) in Paris but may include areas outside of Paris where much of the manufacturing happens. Everything from sequins and beads to leather and lace can be sourced with the help of our insider knowledge, including creating your own exclusive bespoke materials.

If you are reading these pages and thinking, "I just don't know what I want to do," please ask for a free phone consultation! Tell me a little about yourself, and I will gladly offer you some ideas on where to start or develop an itinerary for some or all of your trip. It’s nice to have someone to send all of your questions to give you the confidence to do it on your own.
Paris itineraries should always include relaxing breaks IMHO. They should leave room for opportunities to get lost and wander and build in time to sit down for a leisurely lunch or an apéro. Make the most of your time in the city by really enjoying it, like a Parisian, and schedule in some fun.
