Department stores and malls are convenient for one-stop shopping, but they lack a personal experience and the items available are trendier and less creative. Boutiques, on the other hand, sell unique goods and offer one-on-one attention with the storeowner and designers. Read our list to discover the coolest boutiques and design shops in Marseille, France.

Dharma

Kitschy accessory shop
Get jewelry items from around the world when you visit Dharma. Purchase Buddhist malala beads, feng shui accessories, Tibetan necklaces and chokers, shell pendants, tribal copper earrings, and more.

Boutique Jewelry

Allika

Fashion forward boutique
Find one-of-a-kind, stylish creations at Allika. This chic boutique brings unique handcrafted items together in one place. Discover bookbinding items, such as notebooks and stationery, clothing, jewelry, children’s clothing and toys, ceramic house items, and more. Allika puts it all together for your convenience, and presents it in a cute and quaint shop that is the perfect environment for a personal shopping experience. However, each item is made one by one, and there are seldom duplicates. So, if you see something that you like, snag it before it’s gone because you won’t find another. But, that also means you won’t have to worry about showing up in the same outfit as someone else.
