All of the authentic industrial decor has been restored and polished so that it's in tip top shape -- which explains the heavy price tags on most of the items. That said, if you're in the market for one of those super practical steel storage towers, this is one of the only addresses in Paris where you can find them. Before stopping by call in advance to make sure that the shop is open because their hours are insanely irregular.

I got several cool modern plastic bowls, some silicone bowl covers and some accessories. So when I returned to Paris this fall, I made sure to visit Plastiques. I'm so glad that I did, as once again I found several items for my home. I got placemats, trivets, coasters, a platter and a tray. I especially like graphic designs, and Plastiques has a lot of that style. I wish I had a store that sold items with this style closer to me!

There are all these little cute binders, notebooks, pins, pens, desk lamps. Although a small store, I could have spent at least 30-45 min in there just perusing their goods. I ended up getting a beautiful journal with a "pen band" to hold the pens I would use with the journal. I also got a rotating calendar that shows the fruits and vegetables that are in season at the time. There was a beautiful desk lamp in the shape of a book that turns on when you open it and turns off when it's closed. So beautiful. Their products remind me of similar things you might find in a Japanese stationery store. You want to know what the best part was? They gave us a reusable bag after our purchase to carry our items!
