NRF 2025 Store TOUR

For the last decade Ian Jindal has researched and visited stand-out stores in New York City – one of the global retail capitals. From Soho to the Meatpacking via 5th Avenue and the Lower East Side, here is our list of the must-see stores. We look for “Retail Alchemy” – where people, products, process and place create a magical experience, filtered through the eyes of experienced European retail execs who, frankly, have seen most things already in London, Paris, Hong Kong, Singapore… What gets through this filter is worth a detour at least or a special trip for the annual ‘hot list’. Register for free access and you’ll see the database, along with store reviews, analysis and tours.

Workday Paris 2025 Store TOUR

6 store(s)

FILTER STORE BY

Paris is known worldwide for its glittering brands and shopping. It is also the heart of craft, the artisan, and the unique. We have therefore chosen a small number of stores in the Marais, where product integrity, the sense of place, and the passion of expert staff come together to create some unique. Whether you visit the stores with us on 16 September, 2025, or are referencing the map later, do let us know your views on this ‘behind the scenes’ view of Paris’ artisanal heart. 

See our introduction to the Marais as context to the visit. Our thanks to Workday for making the tour possible and allowing us to share the tour. Contact us at  [email protected]
