Beefeaters and tea parties
Featuring both luxury and casual clothing for both men and women, it’s the only lifestyle department store to offer such a large catalogue of items right in the centre of the city. Men are in for a particular treat this year, with five luxury clothing concessions from Moncler, Fendi, Givenchy, Gucci and Valentino now on site. But don’t forget that LE BHV MARAIS is about a lot more than just clothes: whether it’s decorations, kitchen equipment, furniture or cosmetics you’re after, you’ll be able to find everything you need to fill that Christmas stocking here. To make your shopping experience that little bit more complete, there are also various shops-within-shops on site, plus a host of tempting cafés and even interactive workshops.
The theme for this year’s special Christmas displays, activities and ranges – from November 17 to January 2 – is a celebration of all things British. With bright red telephone boxes, beefeaters and tea parties in the window, LE BHV MARAIS has teamed up with the British Embassy in France to offer special choir performances, cookery classes, bulldog-themed photo booths and DIY knitting workshops with Wool and The Gang (where it’s promised you’ll be able to knit your own woollen Christmas brooches). For fashion fans, cult British label Liberty will also be on hand with a special 32 square metre pop-up store selling around 50 fresh and flowery household items including earthenware plates, teapots and scented candles. For a taste of British fashion, Paul’s Boutique will bring a flavour of Portobello Market to the French capital with an exclusive range of classy, bold bags and leatherwear. Not to mention, of course, the extensive permanent ranges from around 40 iconic British brands like Topshop, Fred Perry and Ted Baker (whose clothes are put on proud display this Christmas).
