Set a budget for your purchase and stick to it. Luxury bags can vary widely in price, so having a budget in mind will help you make a more informed decision.
- Paris is home to many iconic luxury boutiques. Head to areas like Rue Saint-Honoré, Avenue Montaigne, and the Champs-Élysées, where you’ll find boutiques from renowned brands like Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and more.
- If you’re interested in Hermès, consider visiting their flagship store on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Keep in mind that Hermès bags are often in high demand and may require appointments or waiting lists. Building a good rapport with the staff can be helpful.
