Back to school in the Sèvres-Bab’ area
26 August 2009 - Le Bon Marché : 5 reasons to go there again and always
Amongst the thousand and one pretexts to go browse at the Bon Marché, you only need to remember five...
The cosmetics and perfume area, on the ground floor, is a gold mine: re-editions of the mythical perfumes by Robert Piguet (Fracas as leader), creations made in London by Miller Harris and Jo Malone, the whole gamut of Serge Lutens and your talents to be discovered (Killian Hennessy, Byredo, Memo-this last brand also has a lovely cette dernière marque ayant boutique rue des Saints-Pères...).
Hats, still on the ground floor: the choice is probably the most interesting in Paris, special kudos to the amazing creations by Laetitia Crahay for Maison Michel.
Lingerie, on the first floor: for the wide array in terms of both prices and styles (from Dim to Hanro, from Stella McCartney to Dior), the comfort and the rather flattering light, for once of the changing rooms
The book shop on the lower level : very pleasant with its large reading tables designed by Prouvé and the nearby Cojean for their mini-sandwiches and the poppy lemon cake ....
The kitchen utensils, on the 2nd floor: a dizzy array of pots and pans (Lagostina, De Buyer, Christel etc), and everything that one might imagine when it comes to cake molds, graters, and many other cooking accessories for would-be kitchen pros !
