Lemaire's rue Elzévir store presents clothing and accessories from the house led by Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran. Opened in 2023, the Marais premises pair the collections with handmade tiles and furniture within the interior. The clothes favour modular silhouettes and layering, while fabric sourcing spans Europe and Japan rather than one origin.
Best for Lemaire clothing and accessories in the Marais
Lemaire opened its rue Elzévir flagship in the Marais in March 2023, moving into a larger Paris retail setting. The house is led by Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran, whose collections develop clothing intended for repeated combinations. Modular shapes and layering are recurring parts of that approach, alongside attention to fabric and construction.
The shop's interior adds another set of materials to the clothes and accessories on display. Handmade bejmat tiles and abaca mats sit alongside wooden furniture and ceramic stands across the space. These elements belong to the presentation of the shop, rather than proving how every garment is produced.
A visit is most useful for someone considering the relationship between individual pieces within a wardrobe. The clothing can be considered together with the house's accessories instead of as a series of isolated seasonal purchases. Fabrics come primarily from Europe and Japan, according to the house's account of its production approach. That is a statement about sourcing and should not be mistaken for a universal country of garment manufacture.

The Socialite Family began in 2013 as Constance Gennari's media title photographing Parisian families at home. In 2017 it launched a furniture and lighting line, designed in Paris and made by workshops in Europe, mainly in Italy and France. Gennari remains founder and artistic director. The house sells online and through its own boutiques.
Best for Constance Gennari's furniture, inspired by photographing real Parisian family homes
The Socialite Family started in 2013 as a media title. Constance Gennari began photographing friends at home with their families, drawn to a door detail or a line of furniture that told a story about how they lived. Those portraits of interiors grew a readership. In 2017 the company launched its own furniture line, run from an in-house creative studio in Paris. The collections of furniture and lighting are designed in Paris and made by workshops in Europe, mainly in Italy and France. The house describes its signature as a homage to Italy, the country closest to Gennari's heart. Materials and proportion are the stated priorities, along with the handwork of the artisans who build the pieces. The site continues to publish family portraits alongside the shop, and a linen range sits beside the furniture. Large pieces are delivered by white-glove service to the floor of the customer's choice. The brand runs a programme for architects and decorators as well as a network of resellers. Gennari remains founder and artistic director. She now works with a team rather than alone, as the site puts it. The company operates physical boutiques as well as the online store, and a professional programme serves the trade.
