You must keep your eyes open so you don’t miss the sweet clothing shop, 78isl. It is a one stop shop on Rue Saint Louis en l’ile for purses. They specialize in hand crafted leather goods made of genuine lamb skin including large purses, pocket books, coin bags and the extraordinary wristlettes that are made of beautiful fur and dyed in a variety of bright colors including patterns such as animal prints and camouflage. Although the bags are the main attraction, they offer a large selection of scarves and clothing as well. For those thrifty shoppers you a will also find a large bin of clothes where you grab a shirt or pair of pants for only 5€. 78isl has created their own unique brand of perfume for sale and has brought in the jewelry of contemporary artist Sidney Carron who’s creations are inspired by his frequent trips around the world. His timeless jewelry is made to last through the many ages and stages of our lives. The jewels are plated with silver and hand assembled in his personal workshop. Visit the store any day of the week and look out for the relaunching of their website in summer.
