My grandmamma once told me, “no Chanel suits before 30, no Kelly bag before 50″. Well, I’ve a lengthy way to go before hitting the big 5-0, but in the in the mean time it doesn’t damage to peek does it? In addition, she isn’t your grandma, so you don’t have to hearken to her.

At the bottom of rue des Canettes is a cash trove of gently used Chanel and Hermes items from scarves to jewelry to bags. I have affection for this shop, if only to direct the eye at the different largeness Kellys, including one so diminutive I think I couldn’t fit my confined apartment phone in there, not that I’d absence to for the 1,500+ euro value tag. My last purchase, a jumbo couture design 2.55 caviar Chanel bag was a convention compared to the primeval retail cost of 12,500 euros and didn’t have a knick or a mark with a scratch scratches on it.

There are two stores side by side (if arrival from rue du Four, take rue des Canettes and go on foot all the way down to the mini-heavy mallet near Holy person Suplice), one with bags and jewelry and scarves and another with wearing apparel and shoes. If you’re looking for a Kelly this is the only area in Paris to draw near. Not to mention the oodles of Gripoix made Chanel style of dress jewelry to be found. Can you say yum?
