• Kerzon soaps: a scent of holidays •
One or more bars of soap slipped into your suitcase is guaranteed to perfume your clothes. These ecological products are free of palm oil but enriched with organic shea butter. Their formula includes nourishing superfatting agents: ideal for cleansing the skin without drying it out or making it tight. After using them all summer, these soaps with delicate scents (mint-fig, neroli-orange blossom, rose-geranium, coconut-frangipani, etc.) then become, in the depths of winter, Proust madeleines which remind us of the good times spent on vacation.

• The mini bag from Rue de Bretagne •
We love everything about this small leather craftsman's stall. Stéphane, who has worked for renowned shoemakers, has been selling his own understated yet elegant creations for over ten years, right in front of the Marché des Enfants-Rouges. His collections of pouches, cases, card holders, and glasses cases are tempting to spend, as the prices are reasonable (from €10 to €130). They make perfect gifts. Our favorite piece: the ultra-minimalist velvet bag (matte or glossy) made right before the eyes of passersby. Choose from mini, medium, or large.

• Sakhina M'sa's pink sweatshirt •
This Marseille-based designer of Comorian origin is always ahead of the trends. She was one of the first to open her boutique on Rue Volta (3rd arrondissement ) when the area was still relatively untapped. Her ready-to-wear label, committed to social responsibility, prioritizes creations that are 90% upcycled and 100% made in France. We love: the powder pink sweatshirt with the " Support my Girl Gang" slogan in organic cotton. Perfect for chilling out in the evening.

From 145€

• Maison Bourgeat: "stylish" glasses •
This French eyewear maker has been designing and manufacturing glasses (frames and lenses) since 1879 in his workshops in the Morez valley, in the Jura, for Balmain, Lanvin and Saint-Laurent.
Taken over in 2017 by an optician, the brand offers three ranges: made-to-measure, industrialized made-to-measure and models under €100 . All are sold with corrective lenses and designed by Oscar Esteves, Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman of France).
The prices are fair and reasonable, which is worth emphasizing: as a general rule, opticians, certain of being reimbursed by social security and mutual insurance companies, charge shameless margins, sometimes up to 70%. We love the design of “too stylish” sunglasses.
Starting from € 95

• Roseanna: “so chic” swimsuits •
Roseanne is one of those responsible brands whose good deeds we like to follow. During the first confinement, it donated 10% of its turnover to the emergency fund of the AP-HP Foundation, in order to support research and healthcare staff.
In her shop on Rue Froissart, a printed swimsuit made from Liberty of London silk crepe is a hit. It's available as a two-piece ( Music) or a one-piece ( Falcon) . The former, with its bikini cut, and the latter, with its deep V-neck, flatter the figure.
€40 for the top, €35 for the bottom, €150 for the one-piece.
