Onze on Oberkampf On the lower end of rue Oberkampf is Onze, a chic little spot to find exclusive yet not insanely-priced women's wear One of the first boutiques to appear in the now rapidly gentrifying Oberkampf district, Onze opened in 2000 to much acclaim The 'signature' red chair Colour has ignited the racks for spring The lovely owner/buyer Chantal, who takes such pride in each piece in her store Be sure to take in the quirky details Everything instore is for sale - including the rug! The choice of fabrics and patterns make the collection typically Parisian, without drowning in black Onze features the best of contemporary design, with special attention to Japanese, Belgian and Italian designers (something that is clearly reflected in the structure of many of the garments) Did I mention the magnificent shoes? The shoe range includes a selection of beautifully original designs from Chie Mihara and Gianni Barbato - among others - for a nicely offbeat aesthetic... and then there are the Pakistani slippers for an altogether different look Onze 11, rue Oberkampf 75011 Paris Ph: (+33) 01.43.55.32.11 Metro: Oberkampf or Filles du Calvaire Hours: 2:30pm - 7pm Monday 11am - 1:30pm then 2:30pm - 7pm Tuesday to Friday 11am - 7pm Saturday http://onzedesign.com/ For more information see my online guide to Paris: http://www.frenchfling.com/
