Best concept stores in Paris
The Broken Arm
Interesting concept store attached to a great little cafe in Le Marais. From Raf Simons to Nike, their signature is the way they style and put the items together. The name “Broken Arm” is a reference to a work of Marcel Duchamp: it’s bizarre but the three founders of The Broken Arm didn’t want a french name!
Address: 12 Rue Perrée, 75003 Paris, France
