Storie

Top choice in Paris


Beautiful objects with une histoire (a story) is what this backstreet boutique is all about. Hand-woven items from West Africa pile next to silk and cashmere from Afghanistan and cushions from Laos. Items are artisan, handmade and personally sourced by the well-travelled, British co-owner Fiona Cameron, a former TV journalist.
