What I found: Japanese style in Paris

[@ananysinghbaghel9531]

34 mins of Percia I’m so locked in

[@percish]

@@ananysinghbaghel9531 I was like a little 😵‍💫 from traveling but I think that adds to it hahaha

27:50 that denim set is GORGEOUS!!

[@moctzal]

Love standing on the chair to get the pants shot! xD

[@Christine_Everywhen]

Loved this video! As a middle-aged woman who is rather set in her (mostly rather preppy) ways, I really enjoy your perspective and sense of joy for clothing.

[@laurens3055]

Wow you picked up some amazing finds. The birthday trousers are absolutely stunning. Also your godmother sounds like the best shopping companion. Happy Belated Birthday!

[@alexg8359]

I bought a Topologie utility tote during a layover in Hong Kong after realising the canvas tote I’d brought with me from home wasn’t going to do me any favours on the life admin/organisation front. I’ve traveled with the bag through nine countries over the last 12 weeks and it’s truly been a lifesaver - it’s helped me carry a decent amount of essential travel junk while keeping it fairly well organised. Such a ridiculously good bag

[@shawnarobinson1819]

Can you share the Google maps link of all the stores you saved in Paris?

[@bryanmcb19]

It’s time everyone stay calm

[@gamingofgrandeur2869]

Such thoughtful gifts so gorgeous ♡

[@SubtleProvisions]

Been following Louis Rubi for years now and the brand is so underrated

[@beanieboy641]

loved this show and tell, its really cool to be able to attach those memories in Paris to the garments you purchased -- i feel like that adds a new energy when you wear it!!

[@kc_ch]

Can't wait to see how you will be styling all of these! 😌🙏🏻

[@bolobaos]

started watching recently and love how articulate + well-researched your videos are!

[@Patricia-b]

The sizing stuff broke my heart. I'm not exactly plus-size in conventional stores but if you're on the "bigger side of standard"... i may never be able to buy clothes this cool

[@LennieNelson55]

Big time haul. Love your style!

[@meremeth]

That denim set!!!

[@inkarlcerating]

I m so inspired to do something like this since I have an affinity to travel and shopppng pre owned. This is so beautifully done. ❤❤❤

[@WarmZZy]

I’m glad you had a great time! I think you should keep both pairs of khakis, ones a rectangle and ones an oval. I love that denim jacket and empathize with the mild struggle you endured to get it 😂. For some reason I didn’t like looking at the texture of the denim set, which is crazy because I know I’d love it irl + I didn’t get the same feeling from the rest of the store pics. It would be so cool if you did a styling vid with those LR3 pants post-hemming!

[@percish]

@@WarmZZy thank you! Good idea

[@-despair]

watching on my lunch break

[@JessBritvec]

I love your taste in pants, every single pair are amazing! I think different silhouettes count as different enough, maybe personal preference dictates that one design element is more important for you, but to me the two khakis and denim jackets feel different enough to provide some variety.

[@yjkeemart]

i love topologie! i bought one bag online, fell in love and went to the flagship show when i was in Osaka and got stuff that was sold out online. they can really be the cherry on top for your outfits to make them more city-boy

[@Imanifesto]

Love your sense of style. You have great 😊 taste and aesthetic sensibility. You put me on to those Mont Bell 🔔 hiking shoes 👞 great color way, but they aren’t available in the states, aarrrgghh!

[@jonathancohen2029]

In defense of Husbands, I think it offers a very specific aesthetic - quite 70s louche; what you’d see Gainsbourg or YSL wear…maybe a bit Nutter as well. It’s not trad IMO, and you’d def look like you were wearing a costume if you wore it to a trad banking job. I am sure if you’re an adept shopper, you can replicate it in vintage, but it comes from a very specific POV IMO. Whether it is anyone’s taste is another matter.

[@percish]

@@jonathancohen2029 yeah I think in retrospect what I was reacting to is that it caters to a form of masculinity that I feel is inaccessible to me, probably because the body type and image it caters to is very slim

[@maayowa]

8:40 is called a mandarin(bishop) collar shirt.

[@jaimeebleu]

I love the way you dress and think about clothing, even though it’s not quite my style. I love the Mapoésie shirt, I’ll definitely visit that store when I’m in Paris in February…

[@gunplakiwi]

Those Chez nous pants are fire

[@kchoi10]

What a haul!

[@scrambledmegg8704]

the laugh after you stepped up on the chair wearing the denim jacket,,, relatable lmao

[@sauceialisme1330]

Thank you so much for this video ! I've been following you for a couple of months now and I'm so glad seeing you recommend places to shop in in Paris as I'm french and trying to buy as much as I can in second hand stores, and feel frustrated to buy online and not really knowing what will actually fit me, etc.

[@percish]

@@sauceialisme1330 buying used in person is definitely ideal 🤝

[@juliamanacorda]

Here, in Brazil, we call no collar shirts de "gola de padre", which in a literal translation means priest's collar.

[@DominicAJ]

Those LR3 pants are insanely good!

[@s2piditycomes1st]

My one gripe when I went to visit Gaijin was that they had items from Japanese fast fashion brands alongside the high-end labels. I remember being a teenager looking at gyaru and neo-gyaru magazine scans on livejournal and Moussy and Snidel (which I would personally consider on the same tier of "elevated fast fashion" as Sezane/& Other Stories/Reformation) were the brands to buy at the time. I balked when I pulled out a simple jersey dress from Moussy at Gaijin and the price was well over 100 euro. These brands usually go for less-than-Zara prices secondhand in Japan :O

[@DarvuliaVR]

the hakama pants are so good

[@NicoleMae]

I loveeee these 11:43

this is perfect i’m literally going to paris in a few weeks

[@cornvlad8580]

is this how i found out you have a famous instagram?

[@Calpinable]

Hm, I am not entirely with you on the Husbands thing. So for Bonnegueule, I am with you on the "not quite interesting enough" part, but for some basics, they were at one point in my life a good deal. When the clothes were on sale or less expensive before the Ukraine war. As for Husbands, it's an entirely different ballpark. I would say I am very inspired by the same stuff Husbands is and it is true that you can find some of the things second hand. But less so than you think if you are not in NYC or Paris. Their style is very 70s inspired but in great quality. It's genuinely not that easy to find. It's not just a trouser, it's a slight flare high waist trouser and I genuinely spent months trying to find one and then had to bite the bullet, save up and get Husbands. It's possible, but they definitely have a way stronger aesthetic and cultural referencing (and quality) than more general stores like Bonnegueule or Fursac.

[@percish]

@@Calpinable I appreciate your input so much! I’m certainly not so familiar with the brand but I do think they have beautiful offerings. I think it just doesn’t align with what I’m looking for at this point in my wardrobe

[@kennethcho4211]

@@percish Husbands has a 1960s - 70s tailoring vibe (slim silhouettes with flared trousers) that sets them apart from everyone else. They're doing cool stuff and it's worth looking deeper into that brand. Love your channel!

[@percish]

@ thank you!

[@percish]

@ I think there’s also a chance that the brand just doesn’t work for me or my partner’s body types and that’s what I was picking up on

[@pierreholzbrett960]

I feel like Husbands is one man’s vision of Paris expressed in clothing. It’s fairly traditional, the shapes, fabrics etc, and I don’t think it tries to be much more than that, which I respect a lot. I saw the founder Nicolas Gabard on the metro one time, most stylish mf I’ve ever seen, extremely nonchalant, wearing high heel boots in a crowded sticky mess

[@marcohansen4548]

Thank you for sharing this interesting video, Percia. It's long but nice to watch 👍🏽 And your partners coat looks good on you, to be honest. The jeans jacket would be perfect, if it was a tiny bit shorter at the hem, I think 😌 But overall very nice pieces 👌🏽😎

[@censa1428]

Band or granddad collar is the term for that 45R shirt. And wow, love the volume on those LR3s trousers!! Also: is the uppermost art on the wall from Tillie Walden's On a Sunbeam??? Her work is so beautiful.

[@percish]

@@censa1428 yes!

Pls don’t let him take the button off it’s so cute PS I wish I had your godmother lol

[@Sam------]

Cool video. Like the content. 700 euros for one item of clothing is a lot of money for me. Maybe it becomes worth it with the cost per wear count. It has to be really special at that price, I think. I bought a leather jacket for £800 because of it being a lifetime item & for a more personal reason but I don't think I'd spend much more than £200-300 on future purchases

[@percish]

@@Sam------ absolutely! I’m considering wearing it for my wedding so I think that makes it worth it 💗

[@Sam------]

@percish a grail item then. Good answer.

[@veryclaro]

Topologie is actually huge in Japan! Also, new sub here. Love your stuff!!

Chez Nous -"our house"

[@susanma4899]

Ironic that the store is called "gaijin" but sells Japanese clothes, since gaijin means "foreigner." And some foreigners in Japan feel that the word is insulting, though it doesn't really bother me. The "jin" part is pronounced "jeen."

[@ti2809]

700 euros for those crappy generic pants? you what. you see these all over in japan

[@the_lobster]

holy shoot. i got so annoyed by u in this video wahaha. stop saying partner, are u guys partners in a firm? buys 700 euro pants, talks crap about Husbands. "If you want to buy taste." Maybe you should refine your manners. Just because a brand doesn't have a size for you, it doesn't mean they have an issue! Maybe you're just not for them. You're so entitled. Not everything revolves around you.

[@percish]

@@the_lobster hi! Partner is a legal designation of a relationship here in NYC, we are also engaged to be married but I personally find saying fiancé annoying lmao. Even if we weren’t legally partners, I’m not sure why that word should bother you. As for my lighthearted opinion on Husbands, you are completely within your rights to disagree with it, but no need to get nasty (and then lecture me on manners). Someone else disagreed with me on that point in the comment section and we’ve had a very fruitful discussion! Finally I give my personal experience at the stores so other customers know what to expect, the shopping guide is meant to provide insight for other shoppers who may be interested in visiting some of these stores!
