Rue de Valois, Paris
…
Behind an unassuming door in the rue de Valois, in the Palais-Royal quarter of Paris’ 1st arrondissement, is a lovely, curved staircase that leads to
@giftshopclub and their beautifully curated collection of new and vintage pieces that highlights the best of both historic and modern Paris.
From clothing and accessories featuring collaborative designs - think beloved institutions like
@alameredefamille and
@le_petit_vendome - to a vast selection of vintage ashtrays from all across Paris, the shop offers clients a unique experience: the feeling that leaving with one of their treasures can transform the first-time visitor to Paris into an in-the-know insider.
Everyone in the shop is friendly and welcoming, including owner
@daaamn Mathieu Lebreton, who was very kind on my recent visit. The shop itself feels both luxurious and accessible, from the custom map-of-Paris wrapping paper to brilliant paintwork by
@enseignesbrillo on the door downstairs, and once you’ve stepped through that door, you feel like you’re a member of the club.
Stop in and see them. I’ll definitely be back.
