There are many amazing districts in which to indulge your passion for fashion in Paris, but the charm of Saint-Germain is hard to beat. On one tree-lined stretch of boulevard between Mabillon and Rue du Bac metro stations, a mere 850 meters or ten-minute walk (if you go at a fair clip), there is a panoply of high-end boutiques and flagship stores. Here, we list 11 of the best in which to take a look around and, if you’re lucky, drop some serious Euros in on an unforgettable day of shopping in the 6th and 7th arrondissements.

BOSS

Store

The first port of call on our whistle-stop tour of Left Bank shopping is the BOSS store. The luxury fashion house from Germany is best known for its menswear, particularly its sharp suits, but has in recent years made significant strides in developing its women’s lines. Open Monday to Friday, 10:30am – 7:00pm, and Sunday, 10:00am – 7:00pm.

Burberry

Store
Next stop, Burberry, the iconic brand from London, England. Once associated simply with a trenchcoat and a distinctly patterned scarf – with the latter being for a time the preferred fashion accessory of some of the less savory elements of British society – Christopher Bailey and Angela Ahrendts have overhauled Burberry‘s perception within the fashion industry. It retains the best of its heritage whilst being a forward-looking brand that is the epitome of British cool. Open Monday to Saturday, 10:30am – 7:30pm.

The Kooples

Store
Founded by three brothers, Alexandre, Laurent, and Raphaël Elicha, in 2008, The Kooples is self-styled as an accessible luxury label. The brand is known for combining men’s and women’s looks (hence the name) within one expertly tailored collection and is inspired by the great rock-and-roll romances of history – think Sid and Nancy but without the brutal end. Open Sunday and Monday, 11:00am – 7:00pm, Tuesday to Friday, 10:30am – 7:30pm, and Saturday, 10:30am – 8:00pm.

Louis Vuitton

Store
There’s nothing more emblematic of French luxury in the world than the Louis Vuitton logo – okay, Chanel‘s interlocking Cs may give it a run for its money – and a shopping trip to Saint-Germain wouldn’t be complete without a nose around its glamorous Left Bank location. Part of the store is currently under renovation, and from September 2016 it will be launching the brand’s new range of fragrances, its first for 70 years. Open Monday to Saturday, 10:30am – 7:30pm, and Sunday, 11:00am –7:00pm.

Sonia Rykiel

Back through the archway and onto the sidewalk, the quickest way to reprogram your brain to the French way of life is a visit to the quintessentially Parisian Sonia Rykiel.
