The best select shops in paris are merci and colette.
Colette is a famous hype concept store located rue Saint Honoré. Very trendy selection of clothes for women (large selection) and men (smaller selection), accessories, books and electronic gadgets. The restaurant (level -1) is fun too.
Merci, located in the Haut Marais, is a more recent concept store founded by the former owners of Bonpoint, the very chic kids brand. The shop is a charity business to help people in Madagascar. Selection (clothes, home accessories, cosmetics) is trendy and socially/environmentally responsible (some special collections of designers exclusively for Merci). Very nice café and bookstore. Cannot be more bobo.
