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.

Not so great but better than nothing....,

This review is from: Paris Chic & Trendy: Designers' Studios, Hip Boutiques, Vintage Shops (Paperback)
I was hoping for a complete shopping guide which would include the good old stand-by's like BHV, Hermes and Printemps.
This book as well as Chic Shopping Paris provides information on specialty boutiques but is limited to very few per district. It's better to plan ahead than to rely on this book for all of the best shopping Paris has to offer.
