The Collection

This slip of a Marais shop has garnered a devoted following for its artist-designed wallpapers, featuring photographed stacks of novels, five-foot-high images of cutlery, and panels covered with shimmering sequins. It also stocks beautiful gifts, including patterned plates, bud vases, and modern lighting fixtures.
33 rue de Poitou, 33-1-4277-0420, thecollection.fr

Dolls

Occupying a wedge-shaped corner space, this brand-new spot has an alluringly goth air (even the dressing rooms are paneled in tufted black brocade). It's replete with embellished, romantic pieces from nicely affordable labels such as By Malene Birger and Baum und Pferdgarten.
56 rue de Saintonge, 33-1-4454-0821

Erotokritos

The one-named designer's Greek heritage is reflected in the soft, draping lines of almost every piece here. Boldly colored dresses finished with inset bows, groovily patterned jersey tops, and a small collection of shoes and canvas belts round out the mix.
99 rue Vieille du Temple, 33-1-4278-1404, erotokritos.com

Farida

A giant gilded birdcage, which doubles as a dressing room, is the first thing you'll notice at this newcomer. Former fashion buyer Farida Senouci imagined what a slightly crazed '70s socialite might buy if she were shopping right now and built the boutique to look like her walk-in closet, filled with a haute-bohemian wardrobe of Vivienne Westwood blouses and Eley Kishimoto Mary Janes.
61 rue Charlot, 33-1-4278-7109

Gaspard Yurkievich

You'll know this shop by the mannequins that are literally crawling across the floor. Despite its burlesque undertones (it sells amazing patterned and seamed knee-high stockings), this Paris-based collection has considerable polish. Lace-up patent oxfords are finished with pencil-thin black-and-gold-striped heels, and satin sheath dresses are trimmed with origami-esque florets.
