Merci is one of those Parisian hotspots that doesn’t need an introduction anymore, does it? The best thing about concept store Merci, besides their interesting selection of products, is the space itself: it’s huge & spacious. Every time I visit it looks completely different and last week a giant palm tree welcomed us. What more could I wish for, as a true palm tree fanatic myself :o)
Some of these photos were featured on Vosges Paris yesterday! Desiree is one of the biggest Merci fans I know and I thought she’d like to see how Merci looks in the summer…
In case you didn’t know: Merci is the first “Charity Store” in France, it means that 100% of their profit will go to a charity association helping women & kids in Madagascar.
Merci carries fashion ( Isabel Marant, Paul & Joe, etc. ), accessoires, chairs & sofas, great lighting, jewelry, perfumes ( Annick Goutal ) & skincare ( Aesop ), beautiful paperware ( including Hay and masking tape ), cool gadgets, Paola Navone suitcases & tableware, Jerôme Dreyfuss bags, Paul Smith shoes, kitchen utensils ( Royal VKB ), tableware and so so much more…
The red vintage Fiat 500 in the courtyard is pretty famous. This little Japanese girl with fake freckles (!) was being photographed in front of the car for a Japanese kids fashion magazine. Cool huh?

Okay, I've officially been living under a rock. Did not know about Merci until this post! Definitely on my next-trip-to-Paris list now!
Hahaha cool that I introduced you to Merci, Deepa! Let me know when you'll be in Paris: we should definitely grab a drink at the Merci tearoom ;o) Last week's special was a refreshing citronade with ginger & mint…
Wauw, mooie winkel!
