I first learned of Atsuko Matano on a visit to Tokyo over ten years ago when I ran into a kiosk of her merchandise in a department store in Ginza. I bought a mug that at the time was a bit spendy, and have wished many times since that I had purchased more of her things. This shop is tucked away in the Marais but is easily accessible on foot from Rue Rivoli (head north on Temple). If you love cats, you'll likely enjoy her whimsical art but there is plenty for those who have a life that doesn't revolve around a feline. The shop is closed Sunday and Tuesday.

I stumbled upon this shop last year when I was in Paris. I was so absolutely taken with everything…read moreI saw! I plan to make a beeline for it next time I am in Paris. Such fun, whimsical designs-they make me smile!

Quality/Quantity - Small location, but has everything a person can want…read more I especially like the "Paris" themed merchandise that is not available anywhere else. But sadly for me, my last out of country Lululemon experience was less than positive. Bought a few items in Australia which also supported men's mental health and the quality was below average. So I now only buy US made Lululemon... Maybe I should have bought the decal. I just told my wife if we see another opportunity, I will buy the decal and bring it back to the US to have them press it on. Ambiance - Smaller location. Service - 6 stars, welcoming and inviting. She went out of her way to show us all the Paris decals, etc. Price - Expensive, but worth it for the quality. Well in the US... I can't speak for the quality in France. Australia is a NO for me. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1998 by founder Chip Wilson. 491 stores with 25,000 employees and growing around the world. 2007 IPO. If only there weren't so much controversy with the founder's history.

I planned my Paris trip around getting a Celine bag (my very first designer purchase if you don't…read morecount that rude experience I had at Goyard) and this store did NOT disappoint! I received the best customer service, even though I wasn't 100% sure I was going to leave with anything despite the plan. I originally wanted a basic black trio bag and that's exactly what I came in for. Too bad there was no black trio bag available. I was so bummed. I didn't want to look around because I knew I couldn't afford anything else in my price range (high class, no income should be my motto). It says "Nathalie" rang me up but I'm not even sure if that's her name- anyway, I told the SA who was helping me my budget and she assured me that it was totally ok to have one! She said they didn't have the trio bag but they had just gotten a shipment in that morning and wanted to show me something else I might like. At first, she showed me a gray trotteur bag but she figured that I would like the black more. She even brought out different sizes of the bag so I could try it on! In the end, I got my first Celine bag and I'm so glad it was a Phoebe Philo piece. I recommend this boutique because I totally felt welcomed and despite telling the SA I might not even buy anything, she still wanted to help me find something I liked!

I appreciated the service and knowledge of the sales associates. I'll definitely go back again.read more

Quality/Quantity - One of my daughter's favorite brands. She…read morewanted a purse from here and as a present we also bought her a matching wallet. She was so happy. We are flying her in next month and will give it all to her. This location was NOT busy, it was next to/near the LV flagship store. Ambiance - Several stories, 3 stories. Mens on the 3rd floor. The men's toilet is also on the 3rd floor. The women's toilet is on the 2nd floor. Service - 5 stars, maybe 6 stars. They are willing to hold our purchases until the day we fly out as we do NOT want to carry it with us during our travels. Sadly, so far NOT one of their competitors was willing to do that! Both visits had service at 5 stars! Price - Expensive. You are paying for the brand and service. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success. Just discovered you are now owned by Louis Vuitton. Congrats on your parent company's success since 1854 and with all their acquisitions. I have not been a customer for a while, but when in France... Don't worry, my wife and daughter are loyal customers! Service always improves when they discover we are loyal customers, lol.

A beautiful Galerie/Boutique/Store. Me and my friend had an amazing experience! Cynthia assisted us…read moreand gave us the grand tour. She offered beverages while we waited for her to grab items we wanted to see. I felt very special and treated very well. DIOR has an amazing selection of bags, scarves, clothing, and more. You know of great quality by touch and feel of material. So the value / cost is expected to be high (great value). Even if you just come to visit the Galerie, sit at their cafe, and enjoy the scenery you will enjoy yourself.

How lucky I was to stumble upon this gem in Paris!…read more First of all, what a wonderful selection of truly unique products. Everything from crisp, light EDT for summer and heavier, richer cold weather offerings. On top of everything service was impeccable. My French is unfortunately non-existent and the woman behind the counter spoke perfect English and did not hold my lack of linguistic abilities against me. Spend some time in here and you'll walk out with something you love.

For Americans, coupons is the word for remnants, and a remnant is 3 meters, vs. the typical under 1…read moreyard in the US. You can't do much with under a yard, but at 3 meters the possibilities are pretty expansive. Sacrés Coupons has been around forever and have a couple locations in the same area. There's always good deals and interesting materials. It's not a grab bag of discarded/ugly/icky materials, but it does feel like organized chaos inside. I picked up several interesting and great quality coupons here for a great price. My mom used to drag me here in the 90s and I'm pretty sure I still have some of that vintage yardage in storage! Also, for whatever reason, it feels like silk (soie) and wool (laine) is so much cheaper here than stateside. So if that's your jam, check it out on your fabric adventures in Paris. Coupons are much less intimidating for non-French speakers because you don't have to figure out cutting and all that, just grab the piece and go pay.

There were silks and other fabrics of interest which I would have purchased if my suitcase had room. The prices were good. The entire neighborhood had fabric stores akin to the garment district in Los Angeles. If you sew, plan on spending at least a couple of hours in this part of Montmartre. What a great find!

A few other designs that were different from the last Lululemon that we visited here. See pictures. But sadly for me, my last out of country Lululemon experience was less than positive.

Being a foodie, I was looking for a good, heavy-duty wok to use on a gas stove for deep frying. I…read morelooked around a few shops in the quartier chinois, and the woks I saw seemed rather flimsy with dodgy handles. Mind you, I was looking for a larger pan...say about 36 cm that could retain heat. Striking out in the 13th, I headed upscale to the Marais at BHV near Hotel de Ville. I saw a few Staub pans and was not impressed. I was told by the sales person to try the Le Creuset boutique down the ways a bit. I head down to the LC boutique and was assisted by a very knowledgeable attendant who helped me get what I was seeking. I found a beast of a wok, solid cast-iron, heavy as an aircraft carrier! It was about half the price of what I would have paid in the USA!!! In any case, it's exactly what I needed to maintain constant heat when deep frying large batches and using minimal oil: including making enchiladas, frying taco shells, Chinese-style fish, and so on. The shop is small, but with a huge selection + more stuff not on display. So, if you don't see what you want in the shelves, check in the catalog & it's likely they can just pull it from the back. Overall, friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. - and like with almost anywhere in Paris, it's very accessible by Metro or public transit. In my case, I just took an Uber to cart away my "Nimitz-Class" Wok. ..it was way to heavy to cart around..

I am a huge fan of Le Creuset and own many cast iron and ceramic pieces. The products are amazing!…read moreI was looking to replace one specific broken ramekin which they did not have on hand. There was only one person working the shop. She was honestly more interested in helping the man interested in the stainless steel cookware. I will look online to replace.
