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.

I was getting ready to book a flight to Paris just to go there and your comment 😅.. guess I won’t 😂

[@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.

I was about tio suggest that ! Loved the video

[@AlbertM14]

YESSSS

[@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

[@VN88ph]

I agree. I hate that he didn't even try his best to negotiate..

[@pinkie24]

its not his money so he doesnt care, its his clients money hes spending

[@jonpoulda3362]

He’s clearly not a “pro designer”, if he’s not even attempting to negotiate with the dealers.

[@pepollli]

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! 😅

[@idaslpdhr]

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

[@juliemullen365]

[@slonecznikdoniczkowy]

Magic was that no one broke a piece and it took a crew of 5-6 people to installed.

It’s really not just what you choose, but how you style it. Loved the placement of those ceramic tiles.

[@cliclactube]

@@paradox5391 That's exactly what happened. In France we would probably used one hand first ( for the one ) then the second hand in another move to mark the "five". Maybe the alternative way would be using only one hand. A very common method too ;)

She said 1600 then he offered 1500 and then she said 1400, lol.

[@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.

"Pro Designer" goes shopping at the most expensive Flea Market on earth and pays WAY to much, because its not his money. I fell sorry for his clients

[@kimiasaleh1081]

Exactly my thought . Also If you claim you have an eye for this kind of stuff you should be able to spot special pieces in a pile of garbage . Not in a vintage market with designer pieces, hand picked and refurbished.

[@InterTechne]

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!!!!! 😂😂😂
