Retail stores this month reflect Parisian style, fashion and sophistication.

Luxury is the theme amongst brands, who are keen to design elegant spaces for a high-end market. The luxury brands are tapping into art and heritage to appeal to these customers.

We have found perfume brands creating art galleries and stationed inside luxury hotels, French bakery style fashion stores, and coffee brands collaborating with artists.

Get inspired by these new luxury retail spaces in Paris.

Bacha Coffee, Champs-Elysees

Moroccan coffee brand Bacha Coffee opened its first European flagship in France.

The interior is designed to reflect the brand’s origins in Marrakech, with opulent wooden and tiled walls, mirrors and archways, and shiny chequered flooring.

The boutique enables customers to choose from over 200 traditionally produced Arabica coffees, alongside a range of pastries. Visitors can either choose to sit with their coffee in one of the elegantly designed spaces, or have a takeaway option.

The brand also collaborated with Mehdi Qotbi, a French-Moroccan artist, on the interior décor and the creation of a special version of I Love Paris coffee, which was also available as part of a gift box.

Acqua di Parma, Saint-Honoré

Acqua di Parma, the Italian lifestyle company, launched its latest flagship, Casa Acqua di Parma, this month.

The store uses the brand colours in a more understated and modern way, and incorporates perfume bottle shapes and elements of Paris and Italy for a luxury feel. The space also includes bespoke furniture, such as perfume bottle shaped lamps, and tables with lemon coloured finishes.

Customers are able to purchase the brand’s full product range, including bespoke items, at the front of the store. The back section of the space, called Parlapiano, is an exclusive gallery to display the work of up-and-coming designers. The gallery was launched with an exhibition of ceramics from Antonio Fratantoni.

Ann Andelman, Le Marais

Another flagship arriving in Paris this month comes courtesy of streetwear brand Ann Andelman. Situated in the cultural and architectural space of Le Marais, the brand is amongst a range of fashion forward retailers.

The store serves as the space to launch the brand’s SS25 collection, which captures minimalism for the Gen Z consumer. The new line takes inspiration from the ‘90s, with skorts, tracksuits, chunky trainers and baggy sweaters.

Also showcased in the store are the latest colour options for The Fusion 2.0, the brand’s popular footwear.

Krigler, The Peninsula

A luxury hotel is the site of this store from premium perfume brand Krigler.

Krigler is no stranger to Paris, having previously had a store there in the early 20th century. The new store aims to echo that heritage in its style and design. It is a cross between an old chemist and sweet shop, with shelves filled with perfumes.

This store will feature the brand’s main range, including scents favoured by Hollywood icons Audrey Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich and Grace Kelly, as well as others that are inspired by Paris itself. Perfume collectors will also be able to purchase the brand’s most exclusive and rare perfumes, the Silver Tray collection, though the waiting list is long.

The full Cambridge Satchel collection is available for customers to browse, including totes, backpacks and the brand’s iconic satchels. Shoppers will also be able to find the brand’s latest collection and special edition bags, such as a Hello Kitty tote bag, and a pink binocular bag, as seen in the film Wicked. Parisian charms exclusive to the store are also available to purchase alongside notebooks and purses.

Monocle, Montorgueil

Global affairs brand Monocle has launched a new café and store in Paris.

Designed by Kann Design, the space has understated elegance with light wood tables, chairs and shelving throughout. Visitors can find a cosmopolitan café during the day, where they can enjoy coffee, pastries and sandos from Terroirs d’Avenir, Yabaï Sando and Ten Belles. At night, the space transforms into a chic bar, with wines and cocktails available.

The store space offers a range of magazines, alongside a curated collection of lifestyle and fashion items, including collaborations with Parisian brands Charvey, Bic and Arpin.
