Montaigne Market

Last Saturday I met with Anthony Celhay, who is the DMM at Printemps and is also the son of Alain Celhay, the owner of Montaigne Market. Anthony gave me the inside scoop on what it’s like to work with big-name brands on a daily basis. He also told me what makes Montaigne Market one of the chicest boutiques in Paris.
Montaigne Market is located on Avenue de Montaigne, a small street that branches off the Champs-Elysees. It is the first boutique to claim space on the expensive street that is lined with monolith designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, and Louis Vuitton.
The boutique has a reputation for carrying a variety of designers that encouragers their customers to mix and match high and average priced designs. They carry smaller high-end designers such as Matthew Williamson, Proenza Schuler, Behnaz Sarafpour and Mayle. However, they still carry some well-known brands like Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu and Luella. They even carry some U.S. brands exclusively in France.

check out the store!


I am in the process of creating a separate web page about the upcoming fashion week. Keep checking back for more details on: Anthony (who's got a pretty interesting life of his own as the DMM of Printemps), a view of fashion week with Montaigne Market, a day in the life of buyer Stacy Kosene, and an interview with up and coming runway model Bee Bouchard.
