Pro Designer Treasure Hunts in Paris at The World's Largest Antiques Market | Architectural Digest

[@Aspett0]

Parisian here : this is not what we'd call a "flea market", which are more like garage sales. These are (obviously) professional antique/vintage designers boutiques whose clientele are wealthy people/luxury hotels, etc... In short : you don't go there to try and find something cheap and cute for you appartment. You go there, freak out when you see the price tags, and leave pretty soon after to go to a nicer part of town because the area is shady.

[@Aspett0]

@@mizzlopez5660 Well, the « puces de Saint Ouen » (the name of the place they’re at) are still worth visiting if you love design, it’s like going to the biggest open-air museum, you could easily spend a day there without even seeing it all, like a little adventure. But again : bargains are really hard to come by (especially when you’re a tourist) and the vicinity isn’t the best.

[@Maloup44]

@@mizzlopez5660 you're welcome to come ❤️ some French people just love arguing for nothing like everywhere else haha

[@stuartwilsdon9683]

As a professional commercial interior designer, I’d say as great as this place is you’re never going to find a bargain there, you’re always going to pay top whack, especially when you don’t really try to bargain.

[@marciamakoviecki3295]

People who shop at these kinds of stores are looking for a bargain.

[@carolinejohnson22]

They should haggle and walk away if the price is too high........

[@tatianakaparis]

the fact that you did not bargain any of the prices BLOWS my mind. You got abstolutely ripped off. They set the prices extremely high so people bargain, it's entirely part of the experience.

[@matt-lang]

Yeah those prices were wild

The chandelier is gorgeous, but it’s too small for the room and It gets lost in the space. Proportions are everything! Great example of how a big budget doesn’t necessarily guarantee you successful results.

[@tracy488]

Totally agree with you. That chandelier is way too small for that space. When he was explaining it I was thinking it was going in a small room.

[@akherashepsutera2013]

I agree! Just said the same thing! 😅

I would have put a longer chain and dropped it down, Like I could afford it, LOL

[@ricult]

I respectfully disagree. It's perfect. They didn't want it to overwhelm the space. I actually think it's quite big.

no one is obligated to speak FRENCH

[@thehungrygoldfish]

@@InterTechneIn this situation, no, but it does help if you learn at least basic phrases and in this case, numbers, since you’d be dealing with them a lot in this specific situation. I have seen people who want to move to a foreign country permanently but refuse to learn the language and they want a job working in the country. Um, no bueno. If you want to live in France permanently and get a visa and a job, you have to know fluent French! French people are not going to speak fluent English!!!!! 😂😂😂

[@basvanbork6371]

He admitted buying a fake Biot, for the "cheap" price of $300. You found one for $5.

[@Ma-pz5kl]

pure bull

[@carlotta4th]

It's a common glass shape. What he is referring to is the person who made it (the stamped mark at the bottom). That alone determines the value between $5 and $300. Yes it's kind of silly because the vase looks exactly the same. The art world is often more about names than aesthetics.
