Antoine & Lili

The Quai de Valmy boasts not just one Antoine & Lili store, but three in a row. Their brightly coloured façades have even made them one of the Canal Saint Martin's most photogenic features, along with its bridges and locks.

These colours have meaning: the pink store is devoted to women’s fashion, the green one to children (toys, accessories, decoration), and the yellow to homeware (lighting, tableware, garden, etc.). The brand, founded in 1994 by a group of Parisian friends passionate about travel and world cultures, is based on a "boutique bric-a-brac" concept. Their style proved a hit, particularly in women’s fashion, and especially their dresses made from fabrics brought back from India, Africa and Latin America. The effervescent patterns and dazzling colours are enough to give you a serious case of wanderlust! The costume jewellery, little flowery storage boxes and knitted animals for babies, too, offer a plethora of pleasures for the eyes…
