2004 my third trip to France, but first experience to H&M in Paris, before hitting the USA…read more
I remember catching my eye to the glowing red H&M sign outside the store, after walking a long day around the Champ Elysse, Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower. My curiosity grew and I forced my torn up, nude, 2in Jimmy Choo's to keep trucking to the store...
UNBELIEVABLE!!! I've never been in a store that had the modern style with great affordable prices. As I'm walking thru the store in Paris, I'm looking at the Euro pricing and calculating what the US pricing is? I'm really bad at math and my French, but a young man approached and assumed I was American (since he heard me ranting and raving in English) I then politely said, "Parle vous English" lol trust me I had the worst French accent imaginable. He laughed and said, "Yes, I'm American, I just moved to France" I was so relieved. He explained how Paris was the shopping MECCA beside Italy in the world. He then assisted me buying everything my heart desired.
H&M now has migrated to the US, thankfully! I love H&M in Paris, courteous, helpful to an American, and down to earth. Clothes are made well, chosen high quality fashion, and affordable for men, women, children and maternity!!! Thank you Paris H&M to introducing me to one well kept secret.
