Colette

One of the most fascinating stores in Paris and well worth a visit is Colette. The location is prime – along rue Saint-Honoré near the Place du Marche Saint-Honoré. Colette carries a wonderfully eclectic inventory of things amazing. catering to a diverse clientèle from the curious, the tourist to the glitteratti, the hand-picked items in store are displayed creatively and offer the finest of the trendiest. The three storey store can entertain the shopper for an hour or two and also offers a fashionable cafe at which to be seen. The main floor offers cool electronic devices, choice CDs (and LPS), books, jewelry, and all manner of lifestyle accessories. A specialized boutique offers an apothecarial approach and designs custom fragrances for clientèle. Upstairs, the fashion shop has the ambiance of a fine gallery, with outfits and ensembles displayed in situ. There are all manner of sensory pleasures at Colette and its the sort of place where you want to touch, feel, listen, smell, in short a full sensory experience. In an environment of extended creativity, you can lose yourself and if you aren’t careful a wee bit of change. I look forward to a return visit soon.
BTW, the website is as funky as the store. Its stylish Paris.
