Beside haute couture, where can i find chic parisian fashions in paris at an affordable price?

Question

i'm going to paris this summer and the shopping is definitely at the top of my list! although i love haute couture, i KNOW there's no way i can afford it, so great french fashion stores that are cheap and chic are what i'm really wondering about.

Answer 1

The French version of an outlet mall called La Vallee Village (3, cours de la Garonne Paris 77700) where over 75 leading ready-to-wear, table ware and luxury labels offer their previous season's collections (minimum of 33% reduction (off original recommended price) and up to 60%).

Its actually outside Paris but easy to get to. by the RER commuter train to the Val d'Europe station.

Three times a week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays), there is a Cityrama shuttle service that goes there. Departure from the Cityrama agency, place des Pyramides, at 10:15 am and return to Paris at approximately 5:00pm.

The fare is 15€ round trip. Reservations are required by 5:00pm the day before departure, at your hotel desk or Cityrama agency.

There is also the The Quai des Marques It also sells lots of last year clothes and features 73 fashionable brands, most of them french.

The Quai des Marques is located 9, Quai du Chatelier 93450 Ile Saint-Denis. It is open from 11am to 8 pm from Mondays to Fridays and from 10am to 8 pm on Saturdays.

It can be reached by taking the #137 Bus marked "Direction : Industrielle Nord" to the Blvd. Marcel Paul Stop.

You might also try Le Jupon Rouge at 12, Rue Mayran in the 9th arrondissment. Openj Tuesday to Saturday, from 10:30 am to 7:30 pm with a one-hour lunch break at 1:30 pm.

Griff'Troc at 119, Bd Malesherbes in the 8th is a designer depot where you can sometimes pick up haute pieces for a fraction of their usual cost.  Check out their website: http://griff-troc.fr/
