Even if you don’t think you know Marin Montagut, you know Marin Montagut. This darling Parisian shop feels like a homey artist studio, a dreamy art-filled space with a dash of whimsy mixed into the classic French aesthetic. Stepping inside the Left Bank shop is like stepping into a cabinet of curiosites that feels like a love letter to Paris. Enchanting objects with illustrated motifs displayed in little vignettes within a former family-owned tapestry workshop.

Everything in the shop feels romantic, storied. From hand painted glassware to printed foulards, vitrines à merveilles (decorative illustrated shadowboxes) to a porcelain painters palette. There’s something immediately familiar about the collection. Symbols of everyday Paris from a humble garden chair to street signs to the classic Art Nouveau metropolitain entryways, elevated to timeless treasures begging to be taken home. It’s more than a tasteful souvenir shop, it’s a celebration and preservation of the pretty things in life, to be cherished and shared.
