Paris' gallery-like concept store, with a café

Cover

Featured in The Best Fashion Stores in the World

The Broken Arm is one of Paris’ most respected and discerning concept stores, guided by a commitment to being “distinctive, creative and sincere.” Its gallery-like space pairs Lemaire, Jacquemus and exclusive Salomon collaborations with names like Kiko Kostadinov, Raf Simons and Marine Serre, while customers are invited to linger at an adjacent café. Precise and consistently ahead, it has become a fixture on any serious fashion visitor’s Paris itinerary. Small in scale but outsized in influence, it punches well above its footprint.
