Apart from Paris, don’t forget to visit some of the most gorgeous cities in the South of France. Discover the best of fashion, food and wine!
Marseille
It is the second greatest city in France and it has nothing to do with Paris. Although we love the French capital, Marseille has a special Mediterranean essence that makes it unique. So, that’s maybe why we see such beautiful fashion when walking through the sunny streets.
Espigas
This Marseillaise brand was born after an extraordinary familiar road trip in America. The 7 members fell in love not only with the amazing natural landscapes, but also with the Argentinian Alpargatas. They are symbol of work, courage and freedom (and now, Fashion too!).
Espigas evolved and nowadays you can find also sneakers and tennis for both men and women. The designs vary from classic styles to more edgy, colourful or printed models. But they have always something in common: lightness, softness and an incredible quality.
Moreover, Espigas employs disable Marseillaises. It supports other projects to help out this people also in Peru and Bolivia.

The collections are manufactured through the most innovative technologies. A differentiated inspiration makes them unique also as a whole.

Aix en Provence
Ancient capital of the Provence, Aix can be considered also the capital of South of France’s Fashion and elegance. We are not joking. It can be perceived in the streets, architecture and people walking around. Here you have 2 must-visit shops for aixois!
Des Petits Hauts
Sisters Katia and Vanessa created this brand with the dream to see all girls wearing it! The colours, the designs and the illustrations are so characteristic that you can instantly recognize (also for their cute small golden star sign) that it belongs to Des Petits Hautes.
The pieces are made of light, extremely soft materials (Mohair, wool and alpaca) that feel like a hug on you, and we love it!
Finally, inside the boutique you can find accessories from independent designers that the girls have carefully picked up. Also, from time to time, some workshops and events to celebrate life and talent.
Kitch
Sylvie founded this multi-brand boutique around 20 years ago, and it has evolved unimaginably. Inspired by their trips, their years of experience and their fashion hunches. Sylvie picks and mixes the best pieces coming both from stablished, classic brands, and from more edgy créateur labels.
For example, IMPERIAL, Rundholz or Diega are some of the brands you can find in the boutique. They are decorated with a special loft atmosphere. It incorporates industrial elements, furniture that remind us to the 60’s and other changing details that accompany the different “saisons”.
The same happens with the labels chosen. They change constantly in order to surprise you and bring exactly what you are looking for. So, don’t leave today’s purchases for tomorrow!
Saint Paul de Vence
Located in the Maritime Alps, Vence is the cradle of artists, sculptors, painters and petites et mignones boutiques to pamper yourself!
French Collections
The boutique is located in the heart of this village (11 rue Grande). It offers a collection of the true French Fashion. Apart from the original aesthetics of the pieces, the artistry behind them guarantees the highest quality, its durability and its timelessness.
Some of the pieces we loved were the Petite Mendigote handbags and also the Céline Robert Chapeaux’s hats for ceremonies, but every season they bring in something new and cooler!
French Collections is the ideal place to buy the “savoir-faire” Français captured in a wearable souvenir for you and your beloved people.
Cherry
Cherry stands also for French “créateurs”. It offers a great selection of clothing and accessories manufactured in the country. You will be able to find the perfect dress for a summer cocktail evening, or pieces to shine in a casual-but-chic day. Also jewellery, elegant leather bags and “pochettes” with funny messages!
From time to time, Cherry organises “L’Apéro Fashion”, a cool and familiar event where you can have a drink, talk to the founder and discover their novelties. Check their Facebook page to attend the next one!
Viktor
Viktor is a local boutique (21 rue Grande) that brings amazing novelties every week: carefully selected, and with a great eye. The Italian pieces are made from natural materials such as linen, cotton, silk or viscose.
In Viktor’s, we found super cute and colourful summer dresses and stunning handmade round bags and baskets. Ideal for the beach but elegant enough to wear them for a walk into the medieval streets of Vence.
