Le Repaire des filles

This tiny, narrow boutique is situated in one of the most commercial streets in the quartier. On the tightly grouped clothes hangers you can find silk skirts for €29, jackets and striped jumpers. The colours and cuts are feminine, there is no question here of dressing in black from head to toe. Some less obviously in vogue pieces can have a whole new lease of life with the right pair of jeans, says the owner of the place. 'I wanted to go against what one finds everywhere else. You can find things that are dated but still very nice.' Resolutely opposed to uniformity, this former lawyer offers accessories (wooded bracelets for €6 and earrings for €10) and a few brooches which are her own creations. Dépôts are by appointment only.
