merci


Merci is the new charity shop that just opened in Paris, started by Marie-France and Bernard Cohen who started Bonpoint. I had the pleasure of meeting Marie-France while I was there. It is such a beautiful shop and a huge and amazing space with 2 cafes, a flower shop, an incredible used book store, housewares, beautiful clothes both vintage and new, artwork + more.. Whitle I’m not exactly sure how it functions as a charity shop, it’s definitely worth seeing if you are there. Thank you to be-pĂ´les, (who designed all the graphics for Merci) for introducing us to this place.

I can’t wait to go there – it’s such a good idea – more like a brainwave really.

This came just in time! A Paris trip is on the cards sometime this summer and I’ll definitely try to visit Merci.

Oh no! I visited Paris this summer and did not know of this shop. But hey! A reason to return asap. (one of the many!)

Hmm. A vacation in Paris would seem to be a great idea these days. Maybe I should too.
