Côme: must-have designs
Created by talented duo Clémence and Matthieu Dru, this
impeccable store is fast becoming a byword for style. A
favorite of Léa Seydoux, Caroline de Maigret and Marie
Gillain, Côme’s Paris-made dresses and jackets in silk and
cotton have earned points with the fashion pundits. The
brand’s sophisticated
but deliciously
disheveled look is like
a breath of pure fresh
air. The super chic
straight-cut tops,
embroidered shirts and
flowered trousers sold
in this store and work-
shop close to the place
des Victoires are sim-
ply irresistible. A grad-
uate of Esmod and
Polimoda, the young
designer with a model’s
physique and her
brother, an ideal alter
ego for this collection
with an androgynous
touch, have designed
a versatile anti-look. Enjoy these gems with real character
at affordable prices while you can: the brand is about to
make it big. The e-shop and popular Instagram account
invite you to add some zing to your look with a new but
tasteful take on the wrap dress. It’s Cômemania!

HOTEL
A 50’s haven
in Saint-Germain-des-Prés
A 50s esthetic with a modern twist in a low-key luxury
setting at the heart of the bustling Saint-Germain-des-
Prés neighborhood is how we’d sum up the Hôtel Artus.
Ideally located on rue de Buci, it’s perfect for breakfast
at Paul, before a spot of shopping at the Marché Saint-
Germain followed by a glass of wine or expresso at
the celebrated Bar du Marché, all just a few minutes
by foot from the hotel. Its twenty-seven rooms and
suites are decorated with a delightfully vintage 50s
apartment charm, mixing wood and juicy colors, which
bounce off the bed linen, curtains and sideboards. The
exposed natural beams give everything a warm atmo-
sphere. The lower-ground spa with exposed stone
vaulting, treatment cabin and sauna makes the perfect
bolt-hole to escape the Paris crowds.
Hôtel Artus. 34, rue de Buci, 6th. Tel. 01 43 29 07 20.

TIMEPIECES
Les Montres targets collectors
Loved by admirers of fine timepieces, Les Montres, which already
has three stores in the capital, recently opened a new outlet ded-
icated to vintage items on rue du Four, Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
The skinny, 35 sq.m. store carries vintage watches, second-hand
timepieces and new end-of-collection models by leading watch-
makers, all selected with care and displayed with artful perfection.
If you’re worried about the reliability of a second-hand timepiece,
Les Montres Collector only sells items in mint condition, authen-
ticated by watch experts, with full traceability (they come with
the original box and bill) and are guaranteed for one year. Les
Montres Collector also has an e-store offering the same watches
and services, which include free delivery, and the guarantee that
you’re buying a timepiece certified by an expert and in perfect
working order.
