Ana Lee writing for I V Y Paris

A more down to earth version of Colette, French Touche displays a gallery of ‘touching objets,’ where you’ll find modern handmade creations along with old items: jewels, bags, girdles, lamps, crockery, children’s clothing, toys, cards and books, cds and fanzines…presenting the work of about 200 craftsmen and artists.

Among them:
Claire Hecquet-Chaut’s retro ceramic jewels, Melody Champagne’s transformed ballet shoes and romantico-punk clothes, Céline Saby’s tube lamps with a touch of a Japanese aesthetic, and Sandrine Colin’s wonderful ‘magic’ bags.

You should also look out for their clever chansonspoche (pocketsongs, that are actually business-card shaped cds playable on regular cd players).

Monday to Friday : 11am – 2:30pm and 3:30 – 8pm
Saturday : 11am – 8pm
