Nestled at the heart of the Marais, on the adorable Rue de la Verrerie, La Petite Épicerie is the must-go address of the new Fall season. Agendas, pens, note pads, colouring books, floral or fruit fabrics, pearls galore, dried flowers… It’s the fave rendezvous of DIY homemade buffs.
At the origin of this vitamin-filled project, two graphists: Laura Nicoulaud and Médéric Mille. Having just graduated, they wagered on the rather wild idea of selling supplies for creative leisure not yet available in France. A winning venture! Their first physical boutique actually opened in 2014.
A stationary store paradise
Inside, an adorable hyper poetic stationary store. And the good news is that Rifle Paper Co agendas will be in the spotlight during September! Hard to resist their vintage prints with flowers and checks—stars of the 2019 back to school season. Count between €16.99 and €37.99 for the agenda and €1.70 € for the DIY kit.
Laura and Médéric go as far as featuring cute small penswith adorable prints from the brand Rifle Paper Co and super kawaii erasers like mindi fruit juice boxes (€ 7.49 the set of 6 erasers).
The tavern of Ali Baba for little Parisiennes
