The ambition of the Galerie Parisienne is to show the chic parisien. A very beautiful selection of luxurious jewelry, of artists’ jewels, of furniture and objets d’art is presented permanently and, regularly, exhibitions are organized about the work of a specific artist.
The Galerie Cipango has been known since 1978 for its unique pieces. It regularly invites a seasoned artist -painter, sculptor, architect or photographer- to create one or several jewels that echo their own work. Each of these encounters is immortalised by signed and numbered limited editions.
Fashion journalist, Alexandra Golovanoff knows all the tricks of this environment, but she is also a great inspiration for many fashionistas. In 2016, she decided to launch her eponymous brand, dedicated to cashmere. With a collection of sweaters to start with, and a wardrobe that is now growing with new pieces each season.
Her concept: “Knitwear that makes you beautiful,” featuring unique colors designed to complement our skin, hair, and eyes, as well as comfortable garments knitted with the finest cashmere and Egyptian cotton yarns. Produced in Mauritius, in a small family-run factory, adhering to social and environmental standards, they are made to last and can be worn by all generations. In fact, her favorite models are her mother and children.
“I wanted to create a space that evokes the glamour, culture, and artistic spirit of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a neighborhood I fell in love with,” explains Ralph Lauren. Opened in 2011, the largest Ralph Lauren store in Europe is the latest addition to the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district. Each floor, each room, showcases a different line or style (black label, purple, polo, women’s, men’s, etc.). All of this, of course, with impeccable elegance.
A bubble of serenity with a sublime pool where the play of water and light is reflected on a blurred mirror, but also a hammam, a meditation and yoga room, a fitness room and two massage cabins. The ambiance of the Spa des Prés by Codage is an out-of-this-world journey of the senses.
Codage treatments, inherited from the French pharmaceutical tradition, are based on a perfect knowledge of the active ingredients used. At the heart of this approach also remains the desire to offer tailor-made treatments, with different products and gestures according to the desires and needs of each. Treatments for the face or for the body, traditional or borrowed from the different cultures of the world, which are all exceptional.
Isabelle Subra Woolworth specializes in antique jewelry and her curation is nothing short of amazing. She has a soft spot for the Victorian era, but she also has outstanding numbers from the 1920’s and the 1960’s in store including Line Vautrin designs and exquisite lady items she hunts worldwide. A must visit.
This season marks the final presentation of the original creations designed by Giorgio Armani, the designer having passed away in September 2025 after forty years of an extraordinary journey. The Armani style is characterized by clean lines and silhouettes that naturally hug the body, simultaneously simple and sophisticated, in a rather classic color palette. A contemporary yet timeless style, equally suited to a workday or a celebratory dinner, like a mix and match between Milanese and Parisian chic!
The scents of the Dyptique Candles have become indispensable, but there are other candles which are in harmony with them to give places we love a genuine character. Cire Trudon, a Royal Manufacture with an ancestral knowledge, which is the oldest candle factory in the world (1643) created them ! Here the perfumes are not identifiable at first “smell” but there are unique mixes which all reinterprete a moment of history and bring the legend of French taste to light : Empire, Pondichéry, Chandernagor, Odeur de Lune, Odalisque or Carmelite, Empire, Dada…
And today a collection of eau de parfum, kept in precious bottles, with original and heady fragrances, imagined by perfumers Antoine Lie, Yann Vasnier and Lyn Harris: Elae, Aphédie, Médie, Bruma, Deux, Révolution, Mortel and Black Mortal. Fragrances that also tell a whole story and embody a personality more than a genre.
Marie-Hélène de Taillac’s jewels are our favorite talismans. The designer spends six months per year in Jaïpur where she chooses her stones and makes them cut by Indian craftsmen. Briolettes, tourmalines, chalcedonies, they are all exceptional, and set in a way that they seem to be floating in the hollow of our necks or on our fingers. We are crazy about them !
To bring back the glory days of the Jean-Vincent Bully’s Officine which made a name for itself in the 19th century, Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touami went back to the original recipes and associated ancestral textures and protocoles with innovative cosmetic techniques to obtain natural products with longtested virtues.
Nothing is missing in the interior design imagined by Nicolas Daul, from the real apothecary counters to the painted ceilings, the spirit of Honoré de Balzac can be felt everywhere !
