Right next to the Gavarni Hotel is a lovely designer boutique really worth the detour. This boutique is owned by Clara Collins and is the designer’s first and unique store in Paris. This Chinese designer fell in love with France during a trip in the country and never left! Her collections are inspired by films, travels, exhibitions, the streets, cafés and of course, women. Her ambition? Offer her female customers clothes in which they will feel beautiful and confident. The cuts are adapted to the different body types and the fabrics are of high quality. Imported from Italy or Japan, natural fabrics are shown to their best advantage in the work of Clara Collins. Linen and cashmere are the basics of her designs to which more humble fabrics as well as bright colors are added to satisfy her obsession for detail. As a result, her designs are original, creative, modern and comfortable. What more would we ask for?

Open from Tuesday to Saturday from 11 am to 7 pm.
