Okay. I'm going to give this place a great review, merely because of their existence. I came to…read moreParis on a family vacation and my mother went on and on about how she wanted to find French hair clips. And they must be made in France. She went on and on about how the hair clip she got 10 years ago was the best hair clips she ever used -- it was the only thing that clamped well on her hair. And it was one that was made in France. Once my mother wants something she won't stop talking about until it's done. And so I know I needed to get her some clips (for my own sanity.) I did research online and we went on a bit of a wild goose chase. Some people say that the pharmacy has them. Then, I realized it wasn't just any pharmacy. but the pharmacy at the Champs-Élysées. And so on our last day in Paris, we're trying to please my 75 year old mother, which is likely the last time she will ever be in Paris, and so we needed to find her a dang french hair clip or we wouldn't hear the end of it. And so, I found Alexandre de Paris online. I looked at the products online... 78 euros for one clip?! I showed my mom. She was hesitant at first, but in her desperation, she said she was open to it. We took a taxi that was clearly scamming us -- driving around and around. Little did he know, he probably didn't have to do that because we're Americans and would had tipped him anyways. Anyhow, we got to Alexandre de Paris, and it was amazing. An entire store of French hair clips. Exactly what my mother wanted. Customer service was quite excellent. (I certainly hope so at these prices!) The lady helped my mom put her hair in in the clip and let her see with a mirror. She tried on several and they were very patient with her. My mother ended up buying 3 hair clips. THREE hair clips! She spent more on hair clips then I've spent on clothes the last year, probably. (I don't shop that much anymore). Anyhow, it was what she wanted. I morbidly told her that when she passes I will bury her with the hair clips. She morbidly said back to me "they're so expensive, what if people try to steal them?" So yeah... if you're into French hair clips, then this is the place. And yes, they do the tax refund. They also gifted us a couple of pins, perhaps because of the large order. My mom gave me one of them. I'll likely never wear it, but at least it will remind me of this time!

Before entering, make sure to come up with a game plan. Expect certain items and designs to be unavailable. However, it is unfortunate that the gatekeeper will not tell you which products are not in stock. Unless you know a plug, this is the risk and sacrifice you must make when shopping. We purchased a wallet for my dad. Although the color we bought wasn't our first choice, we were still satisfied. The personal staff was really friendly to us. I realized in Paris that if you cannot make up your mind, they will walk away. However, that was not the case here, which I appreciated. What's interesting about this boutique store is that it's their first location. It's where all the magic started. Also, for travelers from abroad, take advantage of the VAT refund, which can save you up to 12% of the total price. Make sure to double-check that the information is correct and set aside plenty of time before departure because the line for the VAT refund can be like standing in line at Goyard (again).

Customer service is a joke. I've sent 7 emails mails about a pull ring falling of my pochette. All…read moreI asked for was a new pull ring to put on. 1 reasoned 6 months ago that their repair department is on it and not to worry. Here we are 6 months later and nothing. Ice DMed them twice on instagram and still nothing. They were once amazing when you could only buy their products in the store in Paris (where I bought both of mine). Now that they pump themselves online, they are complete rubbish. Stay away. You can see dozens of the same comments on their instagram posts. All of them asking where is my repair? Where is customer service? Compete garbage for thousands of dollars in purchases.

Low key, low hassle, simple looking bags in multiple colors. I first noticed these when I saw…read morecollege girls carried it to class. Makes sense, it zips up completely on the top, is water proof in the rain, and can carry a lot of stuff! Looks pretty professional and not cringy at all, keeps a low profile, for those seeking minimlism. The reason I give it a 4/5 star as opposed to perfection is because the outer covering is made of fine woven fibers that with time gets dirty or simply worn. Replacement bag is needed every 1-2 years depending on how you often you use it and how you take care of it. Maybe this is something the brand can look into upgrading in the future, stronger mesh/fiber material for bag
