merci · N^o5171

Merci is a concept store run out of a spacious 18th-century loft in the heart of Paris. Created by Marie-France Cohen and her husband Bernard—the owners of the children’s clothing line Bonpoint—Merci offers unique pieces, both vintage and new by Isabel Marant, Paul Smith, Stella McCartney and more, as well as exclusive, handmade home furnishings. While browsing, design and fashion-forward clientele can sip espresso and curl up with an art book in the store’s library or purchase seasonal blooms from its flower shop. We love how Merci unites luxury and philanthropy by donating all of its proceeds to help the impoverished children of Madagascar.
