Meet the extraordinary community of artisans and creative entrepreneurs making their mark on
Paris today.
This inspirational guide introduces you to the locals behind thirty-five of Paris’s unique shops,
studios, and more. Through beautifully illustrated spreads, immerse yourself in the daily practices
of diverse creatives including fashion designer Isabel Marant; baker Apollonia Poilane, whose
sourdough loaves are the toast of the city; fourth-generation art supplier Sophie Sennelier;
Palais-Royal shoe designer Pierre Hardy; jet-setting street artist and hotelier Andre Saraiva;
bookseller Sylvia Whitman who continues her father’s literary heritage with flair; French cocktail
expert Franck Audoux; the duo behind ecological sneaker brand Veja; the inventor of the
bistronomy movement Yves Camdeborde; plus a host of chocolatiers, florists, cheesemakers,
patissiers, stationers, and more. Each maker links to the next with a personal introduction that
adds insight to how these interconnected communities thrive and grow together. You’ll get to
know each maker – their tools, practices, passions, histories, inspirations, and work
environments. Makers Paris takes you inside their businesses to show you how they invent, craft,
and sell their wares, and demonstrates in the process how each maker’s own passions and
talents splendidly intersect with their city’s hunger for quality, style, and substance. Whether
you’re planning a trip to Paris, looking for inspiration, or just wondering what’s hot in the City of
Lights, this thrilling tour will leave you inspired, satisfied… and hungry for more.
