Item description for Paris Chic & Trendy: Designers' Studios, Hip Boutiques, Vintage Shops by Adrienne Ribes-tiphaine & Sandrine Alouf...

How do those French women manage to look sophisticated, casual, and unique? It may be in the water, it may be in the gene pool . . . or they may have a copy of Paris Chic & Trendy, a savvy guide that describes fifty-four of the best boutiques, designers' studios, and vintage stores in the French capital. Some are small studio-shops run by up-and-coming designers, featuring only their own work (and maybe that of a few creative friends). Other stores showcase a sophisticated edit of pieces from seasoned designers who supply French fashionistas with must-have items every season (think Jasmin Puech handbags, Agnes B. striped T-shirts, Repetto ballet flats). The pages of this pocket-size guide are overflowing with colorful photos of each shop and their merchandise: jewelry, lingerie, shoes, handbags, separates, dresses, sweater sets, stilettos and boots, trench coats, and LBDs: It's all in Paris Chic & Trendy, the go-to guide to find the most stylish shops in the most stylish city.
"Paris Chic & Trendy: Designers' Studios, Hip Boutiques, Vintage Shops is another collection for shoppers who want to know what's hot and what's hip, and with a sense of style. You'll find items that you may not find in other cities in spite of the world becoming increasingly global." --BonjourParis

The pocket-sized guide is full of photos of shops and merchandise, from jewelry and lingerie to shoes, handbags, separates, sweater sets, stilettos, boots, trench coats and Little Black Dresses." -Ventura County Star
