Clothing shopping in Paris

  1. A

    Un Chien dans le Marais

    For the dog that has everything. This little boutique stocks nothing but dog outfits in all sizes. Pick out a design perfectly suited to your pooch from the latest winter and summer 'collections' while owner Franck Woerther's pet rabbits, Thelma and Louise, lope underfoot (Thelma was actually belatedly discovered to be a boy, but hey, this is the Marais, baby).

    Sonia Rykiel

    In the heady days of May 1968, amid Paris' student uprisings, Sonia Rykiel opened her inaugural boutique here; she went on to revolutionise garments with her inverted seams, 'no hems' and 'no lining'. Her diffusion labels are housed in separate boutiques nearby.

    Jean-Paul Gaultier

    A shy kid from the Paris suburbs, JPG morphed into the enfant terrible of the fashion world with his granny’s corsets, men dressed in skirts and Madonna’s conical bra.

    Chanel

    Box jackets and little black dresses, chic ever since their first appearance in the 1920s.
