Small objects and knick-knacks from all eras rub shoulders with antique or contemporary furniture: tables, chairs, armchairs, sofas and wardrobes, carpets; also silverware and beautiful crockery kept under lock and key in glass cases. In this Ali Baba's cave, each category is well arranged in its place on shelves or in a space dedicated to it, just like these period records, paintings and engravings, mirrors and old books. Occadeco also takes back furniture or objects that you no longer need, either for sale or for cash, after an estimate. An address where you have to come often to find the good deal that never stays on the shelf for long.

This depot-sale sign contributes to the recycling of books. We are here in a huge bric-a-brac warehouse where people come to find furniture, masterpieces, vinyl records from the 50s and 70s or antique jewellery. However, you can hunt in the book section like a bookstore and find some rare pearls or unusual books! Depending on the arrivals, you will find old novels, practical guides, art books, comics or children's books... Sometimes there are real deals to be made! The valuable works are presented in a display case to the delight of collectors.

We enter the artistic and fascinating universe of Sylviabiss as in a cabinet of curiosities. A collector of unusual, rare and precious objects, Sylvia recycles and customizes her treasures into works of art, unique and astonishing pieces, dream-catchers, talisman, witch mirrors, home-made necklaces. She explores all techniques, collage, painting, and combines various materials, pins, tacks, insects and butterflies, feathers and shells, to create strange and surreal objects of curiosity, masks, trophies and poetic bestiary. Her collections of metal pins, insects and butterflies, grigris and Iroquois skulls can be seen on her website and Instagram.

This clothing of the city centre is a good business. And the tiny window does not allow to suspect how much! Three pieces of thread and a basement invite you to farfouiller in a selection of parts of friperies, déstockages, series and clothes sold by individuals twice a year in a large fair, where the boss buys your clothes to a euro room. The person responsible is truly charming and very strict: all the pieces it presents are impeccable, washed, checked and in very good condition. A really smart address.

The Noun boutique continues the adventure begun by Annabelle in 2023, featuring only designer brands exclusive to Aix: Hannoh, Margaret Howell, Épice Paris, Antipast, Su san ne Bo m mer,... Top-of-the-range women's ready-to-wear, impeccable cuts, beautiful materials - linen, silk, wool and cashmere - the collections follow the seasons, and you won't see them anywhere else, except in Paris. A few accessories, gloves and belts, chic little Melete bags. Beautiful, timeless pieces... Walking past the window is already an invitation to come in.

Diamond lovers will love this Aix address which plays on a double concept: jewelry and art of living. Diamonds are one of the passions of Marion Vaillaut, a graduate of the HRD institute in Antwerp and a craftsman. In the windows, everything is sublime. Rings, bracelets, pendants, earrings... from the solitaire to the jewel paved with sparkling gems, the collections rhyme with desire. The prices are not exorbitant if one remains reasonable as for the size of the stone! Upstairs, Marion has set up a showroom dedicated to decoration and cocooning: objects, textiles, leather goods, small furniture. Let yourself be tempted, it's chic and cozy.

This store, located at the very top of the Cours Mirabeau, is dedicated to comics (over 300 items!) and manga, but not only that... The shelves are packed with figurines and other goodies. In fact, all generations can be found here, from manga fans to Tintin fans and role-playing game enthusiasts. Authors and designers can be met at signing sessions. Stéphane and Domitille are always on hand to give advice. Fans will also appreciate the second-hand comics section.

Rings, bracelets, earrings, long necklaces, eyewear and small leather goods: the boutique has all the hallmarks of a refined jewel box. Neither gold nor precious stones, but fine materials such as horn, crystal, silver, amber, agate and turquoise are used for costume jewelry, most of it by French designers. The collections follow the seasons: for the festive season, glittering rhinestones and sequins, fur bags; in the summer months, colors take over the sets, with turquoise and turquoise, gypsy pink, sunglasses and more; in autumn, the hues soften, and sets and accessories make their refined comeback.

A graduate in pattern-making and fashion design, Sandrine Godin opened her first boutique in Tours in 2000. For the past 6 years, Sandrine has been based in the South of France, on the first floor of a bourgeois house. It's here that she welcomes visitors to her salon-showroom-atelier. Her creations - wedding dresses, cocktail and formal wear, little Calais lace tops, chiffon or taffeta petticoats - are all made in her atelier with the same attention to detail as the little hands of an old-fashioned couture house. Once the design of your dress has taken shape on the sketchbook, Sandrine's diary is filled in with dates for fittings and finishing touches, appointments during which she will work on your made-to-measure dress, right up to the sublime day when you take it out of its immaculate cover. Accessories such as bags, hats, stoles, gloves and costume jewelry complete the look, as does the Bel Amour perfume created by Sandrine, whose oriental notes are also available as a room candle.

The space is immaculate, the decoration uncluttered, the chandelier at the entrance is a suspension of small papers bearing poems in all languages. Bo La Suite is a small showcase for clothes, jewelry, accessories and decor. At the back, a private fitting room is quite cozy. The setting is set. Don't hesitate to push the door, Bo La suite is imposing...but it's small prices, small brands and new items every week. Nadia's welcome is warm, her advice wise. Her designers dress the young girl as well as the mature woman by offering comfortable and timeless clothes, black, white or ecru !

From goldfish to rare specimens from Amazonia, the range is impressive, especially as the address records five arrivals a week from all over the world! All you have to do is choose the specimens you like from 12,000 liters of seawater, and almost as much freshwater... Of course, you'll find everything you need to keep your fish happy and your aquarium beautiful.

Louve by Galbo, is the story of Galbo alias Juliette, fashion designer for women who, having become a wolf, i.e. a mother, wanted to extend her artistic palette to all the little wolves. You will find in her store articles that she makes but also a selection of nursery brands such as pretty strollers for Minikane dolls, the little maternity suitcase Nobodinoz, made of ecological fabric in soft and delicate colors. I also found a stork plush from Flow, producing waterfall or heartbeat sounds, the only ones capable of soothing and putting the little ones to sleep. A nice store for the happiness of children!

Ethnic, precious or Art Deco cuffs, creole and sleeper earrings, baroque chokers, refined necklaces, torques, bracelets and grigris, cabochon rings... Estelle Misbach's creations oscillate between fantasy and jewelry. This young designer, who graduated from Esmod Paris, has been very talented since she launched her label Missback in 2011. She draws her inspiration from all directions, when she brings back silver fibulas, amber or turquoise from a trip to Morocco, when she hunts for antique jet pearls or baroque chandelier pendants... Diamonds, semi-precious stones, feathers and sequins, silk trimmings and braids or crocheted patterns, rhinestones, leather and shagreen are other materials that she combines with solid silver or gold for unique day/night jewelry pieces (at all prices). The collections are displayed at Espace KM in showcases or classified by theme (Diam, LOVE, Eliott, Caillou) in drawer boxes. And the animal sculptures of Gilles de Kerversau, with whom the designer shares the gallery, have something in common with her finery... unusual, fascinating, offbeat, poetic... You be the judge, go there, the place looks good!

You'll love the Vinilize eyewear, made from real vinyl; the handmade glasses by Vincent Kaes, a designer from Marseilles, with prices starting at 188 euros; or the customizable frames by Francis Klein, for which you can choose the color of the temples and the decoration on the front, rhinestones or pearls.

Spending time with you, sharing ideas, smiles, unique, personalized, handcrafted models and reasonable prices: there are plenty of reasons to come to Art & Lunettes.
