The original, and hippest, Parisian concept store, Colette reels in locals and tourists alike (trend-seeking Japanese tourists have been known to cab there straight from Charles de Gaulle). With a beautifully curated collection of new and classic designer’s clothing, high-tech gadgets, and even a restaurant, the boutique maintains its trendy status without being snooty. Unlike the other, rather stuffy boutiques that fill the 1er arrondissement, Colette is the perfect place for those who like to get a feel for their purchases without fear of formidable glares. The cherry-picked objects aren’t the only reason to go, though: the staff are friendly and knowledgeable without being overbearing, and the impeccably cool shoppers make for an impromptu fashion-show, accessible to all.
