Personal shopping during Paris Fashion Week: acquisition, made to measure

A complete accompaniment: a styling brief in advance, pre-selections prepared before your arrival, days organised neighbourhood by neighbourhood with a chauffeur, private boutique appointments subject to availability, after-hours access where conditions allow, fittings in your suite, express alterations, then delivery to your palace hotel and, if needed, international shipping. The exact scope — from simple scouting to the week's complete wardrobe — is defined with you and set out in your quotation.

As an indication, from €1,500 to €5,000 per day depending on the level of accompaniment — personal shopper alone or a duo with a stylist, preparation in advance, fittings in your suite — purchases excluded, which are settled directly with the houses. Add, where relevant, a dedicated chauffeur (approximately €900 to €1,800 per day) and atelier work. All of these orders of magnitude are indicative and confirmed on quotation; our guide How much does a VIP Paris Fashion Week cost places them within the week's overall budget.

Sometimes, and never on a promise: opening a private salon, a dedicated presentation or access before or after public hours rests with the sole decision of each house. We position your request with the right teams, subject to availability and where conditions allow — the Fashion Week period, in heavy demand, requires anticipation. Where privatisation is not achievable, an accompanied appointment with the sales teams already offers an experience of an entirely different order from a walk-in visit.

We can carry your request, never guarantee it: rare pieces, limited editions and waiting lists rest with each house's policy, and the house remains the sole decision-maker. Our role is to position your profile with the right people, drawing where appropriate on your history with the house, and to tell you candidly what is realistic. Be wary of anyone who firmly promises a waitlisted piece: that is not how the houses work.

Yes: our network of alteration tailors and ateliers works express during Fashion Week — hems, waists, last-minute adjustments — with lead times counted in hours for simple work, and validated piece by piece for the most delicate. Each outfit is then pressed, prepared and hung in your suite, matched to the occasion it is destined for: show, dinner or party. That is what turns purchases into a wardrobe.

Yes. Every acquisition is delivered to your palace hotel or hôtel particulier within the day, checked before handover. At the end of your stay, we organise international shipping: packing suited to delicate pieces, insurance, customs formalities and tax-free paperwork where you are eligible, coordination with your home or your next destination. If you leave via Paris-Le Bourget by private aviation, the wardrobe is simply loaded on board by our team, ready to wear on arrival.
