PS Paris

i'ts nice that ..offer us an inside look into Paul Smith Paris store ....an authentic vintage store for real....not your fake vintage storefront....this particular store even has a story to be told...


“The very exciting point about the Grenelle shop is that it is in premises that have been empty since the 1980’s and is in a very ‘interesting’ state of decay! The walls are unpainted for many years, the floor tiles are the original, 80 year old shelves, everything dates back to the 1930’s when La Tourrette was opened by Monsieur Tourrette as a ‘Bougnat’; the left side of the shop selling coal, the right side selling wine. The business was run by Monsieur Tourrette and continued through the generations, including his daughter and then later other members of the family. In the early 1960’s it was opened as a little cafe and from then until its closure was a famous haunt of many intellectuals including Jacques Prevert and his brother who were regular visitors along with actresses and writers.”
-Sir Paul Smith

Paul Smith, 70 rue de Grenelle, 75007 Paris.....


stuff we digg!

good bye

Rest in peace to Union, NYC. Not “one” of the most important stores in our culture. THE MOST important. How many brands would be here if it were not for Union? (Maybe all of them.) Union was the second order I ever received when I started Staple in 1997. Back then Veto and MaryAnn were running the show. But long before that, when I was a young buck in New Jersey, I was taking weekly voyages to Union. NFC, Project Dragon, Ken Sport mixtapes, Pervert, Rock Hard, Conart…man, those were the days. I was like a wide-eyed kid in a candy store.
A few years later, I was among a select few that were part of a newer generation of brands that Union chose to represent. I started to learn the ropes. My other classmates were Doubledown, Milkcrate, 10Deep, BMBasement, Social Studies, Modern Amusement, Charizmatik and more. It’s amazing when you see where all these brands and individuals are today. The constant is that Union was always there—a foster home for ragtag creative minds that couldn’t find a place in the world. In 2009, we have Karmaloop, Urban Outfitters, Complex Magazine and I’ll say it, Reed Space. You no longer have to walk the streets, feel the streets or listen to the streets to appreciate what is known as “street culture”. In 30 seconds and 4 clicks, you can own an entire wardrobe of streetwear. In 2 minutes, you can download a mix CD that the DJ finished 1 hour ago. And in a mere flips of a magazine, you can see every limited edition sneaker the footwear companies are “leaking”. All from the comfort of your Lazy Boy. I’m not saying today’s world is better or worse. But what I am saying is that today’s world owes everything and then some to a 400 sq ft space on Spring and West Broadway called Union.
