paris shopping

l'eclaireur is probably the most interessant place to be
surface to air is nice too
the faubourg st-honoré street have all the designer store(CDG, lanvin, dior, etc.)
Colette isn't bad but fucking expensive
APC store are nice too

here you have all the adress: http://superfuture.com/city/city/selected.cfm?city=67

Boulevard Haussmann - Printemps & Galeries Lafayette - department stores.

Avenue Montaigne - Dior, Chanel etc.

Zara - I picked up bits for work - I watched a bloke cutting off English tags and then restickering them - trousers, cardigans & shirts were 6 Euros.

C&A - As a 35 year old it brought back memories - its massive.

Went at the beginning of September and didn't see too much of merit, but if you aren't looking for streetwear then you may have different results:

Colette is full of pricks buying shit they have no point of reference for, other than Colette stocks it so it must be cool. The staff being a prime example of this, making a total mess of the brands they are wearing. Dickheads.

Starcow further down the road had a decent selection of the nicer Stussy, UNDFTD sorta thing with some ofthe usual meh street/hypewear brands. The Carhartt and Vans shops are both right there with it and worth a look as they are nicely presented compared to retail here - more £$£ though.

Even further down that road there is a pedastrian-ised bit with a few sneaker stores, all over priced though.

The Louis Vuitton shop is mind blowing. Makes shopping anywhere else appear quite common - total aspiration.

My advice would be buy plenty of nice food and spend the money you saved over here, boost what worthwhile retail we have left.

Gallery Lafayette is worth seeing, it's stunning.
