Spread over three floors, the 8,000 square feet concept store of Colette is Paris’s cult store. The French fashion, streetwear, and accessory retailer holds a wide range of merchandise and a little exploration of the store would reveal the fact that you can practically get everything at one place. Famous for launching limited edition products of high-end fashion labels, the 20-year old boutique that is so entangled with the Paris Shopping culture is expected to shut down in December 2017. So make full use of the store while it’s still there. Also, don’t forget to visit the in-house water bar that serves over 100 brands of bottled water.
