Brontibay

A chic and relaxed leather goods store that fits in with the bobo profile of the neighbourhood, equally at ease with classic leather pieces as with more brightly-coloured, modern designs – the sort worn at Parisian cocktail parties by well-off fashion types with a taste for ’70s style. But unlike other boutiques of this type, the staff won’t look down on you – the sales girls are helpful without being pushy. And if the leather prices put you off, there are substitute versions available from €30 to €270. If, on the other hand, you want to go all-out ‘Pretty Woman’, there’s a showroom upstairs for personalised fittings.
