14 rue de la Corderie Paris 3rd Métro: Temple
A fabulous concept boutique Paris’s Haut Marais where clothes are displayed on a curtained mini-stage, jewelry is in a stylized coffin and the mannequins seem ready to speak, as if right off a Jean Cocteau movie set. Some of the shop’s limited-edition pieces are closest in spirit to theatrical costumes, but there are plenty of outstanding everyday pieces, along with some fairly wacky headgear, handmade leather goods, a small vintage collection and a bookstore.Mémorial du Maréchal Leclerc et Hauteclocque et de la Libération de Paris & Musée Jean Moulin

Home of the humble shepherd's folding knife that has become a coveted and trendy accoutrement.
