    One of the most interesting stores in Paris

Transcript

This might be one of the strangest stores in Paris. From giant messenger bags and oversized waffle knit sweaters in every color to a wall of pennants and antique tableware inspired by the European Alps. This store has such a deep reverence for the past that it almost feels like you're in a museum. So much so that there's an entire archive in the basement dedicated to preserving old typography, posters, and signage. It has some of the rarest books on art, photography, and design you can get your hands on. But I love this store because it's a reminder that good design lives off of the algorithm, that if you wanna be truly inspired, you need to log off and experience things with your own five senses.
