Perusing in Paris
Perusing in Paris
shops I'm excited to wander in and out of the next few weeks
My husband and I landed in Paris yesterday and are feeling a little more alive and well after a solid night of sleep. We will be in Paris for a little under a month and plan to do a mix of relaxation, family time, and taking our friends to some of our favorite spots once they join us a few weeks in. We’re also sneaking in a quick trip to Amsterdam!
During our down time, my husband and I love to wander and see where the day takes us. Since we are here for a few weeks, I’ll probably take my time with actual shopping and enjoy wandering in and out of shops I’ve admired online. I thought I’d share a few I’m looking forward to checking out.
SOEUR
If you read my Fall cravings (read: wishlist), you already know what I’m going to say. This beauty is at the top of my list. While I am not holding my breath to still find her in store, I hope to see what other equally fabulous items they have available. I’m also intrigued by this coat. Excited to share what else I find here after my first visit!
Officine Universelle Buly
While it is probably very popular after seeing it all over TikTok, I hope to get some gifts for friends while I’m in town. You can get a range of items, but I love that they can be personalized with initials.
Lemaire
I’ve been so curious about this brand ever since I saw their croissant bags. The leather looks buttery soft. They don’t only sell bags, but I have a hard time looking at anything else except these croissants!
Figaret
Y’all know I love a good button down, so I was intrigued when these came across my feed (also into this one and this one). I would love to add another white button down to my current lineup. I’ve been eyeing The Everything Shirt from soldout.nyc for a while and when I came across Figaret’s shirts, they sort of reminded me of them.
Larfeuille Paris
If you’re looking for locally made leather goods, look no further. I particularly love their Tiny Cabas bag and their Lunchbag.
By Malene Birger
I’ve been eying their coats since last year thanks to
who owns a fabulous coat from By Malene Birger. By the way, she has a fantastic coat collection!
Sessún
I walked by the store last time I was in Paris, but I never made it in. Hoping to change that this trip as it appears they have a solid amount of outerwear options.
Fane
I’m not actually sure if they have a store in Paris, but I’ve been eyeing these bags for well over a year. I’m hoping I can find somewhere in Paris to try them on as I’ve been super curious about them. Anytime I browse online, they are often sold out.
A.P.C.
Despite never having bought anything from A.P.C. — I’m a big fan. My husband graciously walked into the A.P.C. in Amsterdam with me several times while I contemplated a bucket bag (two colors on sale here and here) —whom I still think about! I’m very curious to see it again and see if I still feel the same while also checking out their latest collection.
Ba&sh
I went to several Ba&sh stores in Amsterdam last year because I was haunted by a red coat (this year’s version). I initially went in to try on and purchase this lady jacket and I made the mistake of perusing the entire shop only to fall in love with a red coat.
I contemplated it for days and on one of our last in Amsterdam, I told myself if I saw a tiny red car (tiny electric cars were all over Amsterdam but I hadn’t seen a red one), I would buy it. Well turns out, the universe wanted me to have it because I ended up seeing several that day and shortly after walked by a Ba&sh location that had my size.
Rosaé
I believe this was another one of my Instagram targeted ads. I don’t quite recall what reeled me in, but whatever it was made me note this brand for a future visit. They appear to have a solid amount of basics with some trendier pieces mixed in.
Frankie Shop
I’ve seen this brand shared and talked about a lot online and I’m very curious what they’re all about. If i’m not mistaken, they are partly a retailer but also have their own designs.
Ferragamo
If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I fell for a Ferragamo purse back in early June. I still think of her and I can’t wait to go try it on again while checking out their new options.
Loulou Studio
Loulou Studio was already on my list for a while, but when
from suggested it when I posted an Instagram story inquiring about brands to check out while on a hunt for a Trench, I knew I had to go see these in person.
Galeries Lafayette
Wandering Galeries Lafayette mall is almost a given and something I highly recommend because it’s unlike any other mall I’ve seen. It definitely puts every other one I’ve seen to shame.

If you have other shops you think I should add to my list, let me know in the comments! I’ll also happily take any other suggestions (places to eat, visit, etc) if you have them.

omg this list is amazing Ofelia! I’ve been admiring Fane as well so am curious what your reviews are if you see it in person. And the Figaret shirts look 👌. Have the best time and eat all the croissants and pomme frites for us!
Sooo many good spots. Definitely By Malene Birger (Le Bon Marche and Printemp have the best collection). I've also been wanting to get my hands on Fane, but I haven't found them irl!
