I really like shopping sound maybe odds for a straight guy, but love to go those stores, and get the latest. Of course, I am usually a lot quicker than women, I know where to go ,get it and out. I did wrote a story before entitled “Best Shopping, my shopping in Paris” in my blog but its time to tell you more of this peculiar pastime.
There is many things to shop in Paris, from real luxury to common items, and all are magnificents. People sometimes think that items will be cheaper here,and ask me, but in reality most of the well known items are the same price when you compare shipping cost. Still, buying IN Paris is a heck of a lot better than elsewhere….
Of course, I can only talk about men’s fashion, the rest is up to you lol!! Silk & Cashmere is one of my favorite outlets and the fav store is at 31 rue du Four, 75006, Turkish brand of silk and cashmere of course, really great here is the webpage and store

A bit off the fashion trend but very chic, in my fav area of Paris the 16éme arrondissement, you find the L-Arc club at 12 Rue de Presbourg 75116 if you want to show off your new purchase fashion, this is it. Very near the arc de triomphe and pure fashion Paris, webpage
