The best fashion and gift stores Caen

Here is a hyper innovative concept that is going to be a hit! While we advocate the second hand because less polluting (the textile industry is really not a good student), we wonder how new can play the card of eco-responsibility. First of all, by putting an end to overproduction, here we only manufacture to order, no waste! 100% from Caen, for chic and timeless pieces to which we must add the low ecological impact of the manufacturing process, or the end of stocks from luxury houses. We want more, do you?

Fans of climbing and not a specialized store? Dorothée, a professional climber with 15 years of climbing under her belt, has embarked on the adventure and it's all the better for it! Here, personalized advice, fitting and testing of equipment (sometimes even products in short circuit) and magnesia (this powder to avoid sweaty hands and to have more grip on the holds) in bulk, bravo for ecology! Whether you are a beginner or an experienced climber, if you want to climb the Mont-Blanc or the small cliff next to your house, you will find what you need.

A perfectly tailored suit, a dream? Not for long, thanks to Ivan and his confidential boutique. The young man will work with you on an individual, personalized basis to offer you a suit tailored to your morphology, at an affordable price and with an eco-responsible approach! Just imagine, for one suit you'll be able to choose from almost 10,000 fabrics! You can then personalize your outfit with a wide choice of accessories. And if, by some misfortune, that garment needs repairing, Ivan will be there for you too!

Eureka, we've found it! Yes, we've found a great bookshop, and apparently we're not the only ones: it's so popular! Eureka Street was the brainchild of long-time booksellers Bénédicte and Pierre. Novels, thrillers, science fiction, children's books, comics, new and second-hand. There's plenty of room here for coffee or tea (sometimes accompanied by a pastry), and for reading performances: not just book signings, when an author comes in, his or her texts are staged and set to music - a real feast!

Pastel is the brainchild of Jeanne. Here you'll discover all her finds, but not just any finds. Here, you'll find French and European creations and ethical, eco-responsible brands. Decoration, fashion, jewelry, tableware, bold, fun and truly beautiful, all the pieces are respectful of people and the planet, and you'll even find kibble for your pets. We fell for the glasses made from the bottoms of wine bottles( full-onupcycling!) and the pretty bananas made by Jeanne herself.

Who doesn't know the Balto? It's true that, at first glance, it doesn't seem to be of great interest because it's ultra-common. But the address has the merit of being ideally located, open every day until late, even very late in the evening. Here, it's the lair of the Sunday morning scratch game fans or a little coffee before or after the market on the port, that also of the nicotine addicts that will not be missed at midnight, sports fans with the circulation of matches. And if you have a hollow, they also serve a classic, but good, cheap bistro cuisine. It is not a panacea, but it is better than nothing!

One of the main assets of this, is to be self-taught. It does not prohibit anything, detached from the slightest yoke of classical training. However, there is no chance and the artistic fiber, she has it in her. A mom-dancer, a taste for theatre and writing, at age 23 she turns resolutely into the image. A passion for old things and objects that tell a story, that is the thread of its work. With the different subjects and treatments, each picture is a condensed story. The artist opens doors and doesn't want to dictate what she wants to think of her images, everyone interprets them with his own subjectivity and feeling. A world that is beholder, aesthetic and sucking, who will take you from the photo to the ancient jewels (insect jewelry… a pure wonder). In short, a meeting with genuine talent and boundless fantasy. To discover absolutely.

Of course you will like it! Anne-Marie, has now passed the torch to her daughter Anne. Talent is passed on from generation to generation: this store (which celebrated its 10th anniversary) is a real nugget. Fantasy yes, but high fantasy please, from designers, many of them French, always with very beautiful stones and unique pieces! The prices are very reasonable even if you go upmarket, besides there are never any sales! And for the faithful customers, a nice surprise is waiting for them..

We love this shoe shop! Here you have real craftsmen, Marie in the back room and Fabrice always in action, hardcore shoe and leather workers. No rush jobs, but an impeccable quality of service. These outstanding shoemakers are happy to give life back to your leathers! However, if your shoes are irretrievable, we let you know, honest no? ! You can also visit them for minute keys. And all this without paying a lot of money! A word, a gesture, Cartier does the rest!

Passionate, Anne opened her small jewelry store with her son Alexis. The store offers exclusively solid silver or gold-plated jewelry. All types are proposed: the classics (rings, necklaces, earrings) and the originals like the bolas to offer to a future mother. Anne's desire is to offer jewelry for everyone, there is a wide choice for children (models like Mom) and also "large size" jewelry. The advantage of the jewelry store is that it works with French suppliers (some of them are made in France).

Bar, press, tobacco office, French of the games… in the heart of the very central and commercial rue Saint-Pierre, stuck between two shops, you have already been before the Arcades. Useful address, whether it's to check your Lottery, make a coffee break on the sun terrace in the sunny days or simply to buy a chewing gum package! Nothing extraordinary will tell us, but the reception has the merit of being pleasant and smiling and it is already not bad!

This little boutique is a treasure trove of gift ideas, for you or for yourself! Fashion, with colorful stoles and scarves, and leather goods made in Italy. We can't get enough of these beautifully finished handbags.

Perhaps a porcelain semaphore, an original light fixture, a fun mug, a poster, or even a leather postcard?

From childcare and decorative items to toys, clothing and cosmetics, you'll find everything to spoil your little ones! Most of it French, most of it European. Don't wait any longer!

Gâteau Blaster is a record shop-label-art gallery located in Caen. Opened just a few months ago, it has already acquired a fine reputation among fans of independent music. The store offers a varied selection of vinyls and CDs, featuring artists from the national and international "do it yourself" scene. As well as selling music, Gâteau Blaster also organizes musical events, such as concerts and DJ nights. For example, they recently organized an evening at Cargö, a concert hall in Caen, with artists such as Jessica 93, Eye of the Liger and Gomina.

Benoît continues to populate the Caen landscape with his trendy and audacious boutiques that we love to raid (during the sales!). Three stores, that wasn't enough, no no no! At Koko Shop, even if the urban-streetwear concept is also used here, new brands of clothes and sneakers are offered. Asics, Obey, Deus Ex Machina, or even made in France signed Tinsels for example. A ready-to-wear capable of breathing a breath of fresh air into any wardrobe. So nothing can prevent beautiful adventures!

This dynamic association of retailers in Caen brings together around 250 retailers, craftsmen, bars and restaurants. Its mission? To make the city easier for you! Throughout the year, "Les Vitrines de Caen" offers you good deals and services (notably with the Boutic Caen application), as well as information on the city and local commerce. Activities and events, such as the Spring Festival, the Summer Braderie, the Halloween village and the world petanque championship with mittens, also offer a different shopping experience.

Years that Olivier occupies this space in downtown. It is true, we go ahead often, we know it is there but good… Fortunately, word of mouth works! And we discover this centre of over 800 m ², which welcomes you with open arms. There's already the ring as soon as one enters, and then we see the "chef" (it's the mechanics who call it this) who kitchen with its "second" engines, put oil, drain, suggest, and is not avare of advice. It's a pity that it doesn't make a mess but it's going to be there, it's in the city centre, and you can find a room that's missing from colleagues across France, exactly the same rate as any Speedy. And as Olivier says, in any case: it is the car that commands!

Edji is a brand created in 2011 by a team of designers aimed at the young generation, both boys and girls. This brand is intended to constantly search for new and look-alike, so we understand better the choice of its name "Edji" which means in English "be avant-garde", addict to the culture of style. You can discover this store to make it an idea with its wide range of styles and materials, more connected or more classical, with colour but soft, paillettes, but in style, skirts (though slightly short for some!)…

This boutique has a space for men, and another for women and juniors. Here you have an important choice: t-shirts, jackets, skirts, pants, dresses, shirts, sweaters… But also nice shoes that can get out of the ordinary and some accessories. With many brands presented such as Teddy Smith, Adidas, School Rag, Kiliwatch or even eleven Paris… Blue Box lets you choose… With an interesting price/price ratio, you don't hesitate to take a tour!

New Yorker confirms its reputation. A success story with over 700 subsidiaries in more than 1971 countries, this is the story of growth that began in with the first open shop in northern Germany in Flensburg. The New Yorker shops are always located on attractive commercial sites and it seems obvious that the shopping centre of the Rives includes the criteria for the installation of the brand as it offers an optimum buying environment! The target clientele is young (12-40 years old). Always listening, the collections are adapted every season and shops know how to create an ideal shopping environment to stimulate interest and curiosity.

At Café Cotton, the bride will be able to choose the shirt of his dreams from a wide selection: from the classical to the most colourful, but always with class and sobriety. Also on sale, accessories, shirts, ties and costumes to perfect your package! So the embarrassment of choice! A safe value. The brand uses only high-quality, natural materials such as silk, cashmere, or cotton, carefully chosen with a view to satisfying you.

New teaches to appear in Caen, on the shores of the Orne, of course. There are ready-to-wear collections, youth and sport with a whole universe dedicated to man but also a space for women. Jeans from different models, hooded sweats, shirts and t-shirts but also jackets and doudounes for a trendy style but at a somewhat high price! G-Star customers adopt its own line.

This store is the rainbow of the rue Froide! Mainly focused on decorative cuteness, the store dedicates its second floor to fashion: ladies, a pretty collection full of pep at small prices awaits you. On the first floor, you'll find jewelry, tableware, crazy Anglo-Saxon Jelly Cat stuffed animals, Mrs Nobody cactus, candles, cushions... in short, everything to make or make yourself happy. We love the warm welcome of Karine, the fairy of this universe so nicely stocked that it is useless to look for anything else...

An atypical place for bargain hunting. Vintage pieces galore! If you rummage around, you won't leave empty-handed. Clothes, accessories, books and decorative objects at very attractive prices share the boutique. The difference? It donates its sales to numerous associations, including the Red Cross, the Telethon and the Restos du Coeur! It has even helped finance the purchase of a refrigerated truck for the food bank. And it's all thanks to donations and the volunteers who keep the store running like clockwork. Well done!

Page 33, new books at bargain prices! But how is this possible? Simply with patience: end of series, old editions or surplus stock, as soon as published or imported books are more than 2 years old, the law allows them to be sold at reduced prices. Here, there's something for every age and taste. With 30 metres of shelves, it's impossible not to find something to your liking. However, Camille and Isabelle will be delighted to help you if you need it. And when you know that the store is independent, there's no way you're going to miss out!

There are hats to be had, but you can't find an artisan milliner-hatter on every street corner. So we can show off a little, because in Caen, we've got one! Sold and/or manufactured here with passion and great taste, forget the "pépère gapette" look! At Mr Chapeau, a.k.a. Michel Rousseau, old-fashioned, refined materials take pride of place for modern, elegant pieces. Choose from in-house designs or creations by other milliners, at the request of both men and women. As for us, Monsieur, our hats are off to you!

Papa pique and mama sews (CMPP for insiders), it's first of all the idea of Nam Pham, who at age 20 decides, to pay for his studies, to sell his creations, bars, favorites and other accessories to the printed or liberty on the markets. A few years later, the story was born and it now settled in Caen - and we are delighted! Small and colourful objects, lovely, girly (because it must be admitted, the teacher is more prone to the feminine gente) is spread under your eyes and you can only decompose. In addition to the accessories for hair, you will be able to dénicherez bags, bags, customizable for the Bag & Zip range, scarves and hats, and even fabrics with furthest or milder but equally cute patterns, sold by the metre to make your own creations! Moreover, you will be greeted by the smile of Émilie and his team who will help you make a choice among all these nice things. Let's try!

We love this independent record shop! L'oeil du Sillon, a vinyl and CD store, offers new and second-hand vinyl in all styles, and at a very reasonable price! An enthusiastic Emmanuel Maillard is delighted with the renewed and growing popularity of vinyl. Ah, the lovely sound of diamonds in the groove has no equal! In the bins, no less than 2,500 records, including some real nuggets. You'll also find film music and books. Bonus: as well as buying, you can also sell your treasures and make a lot of people happy!

Installed since 4 years in the Saint-Sauveur square, the Khêmia workshop-boutique selects jewels of creators combining tendency and quality. A graduate of the Haute École de Joaillerie de Paris, and with 8 years of experience working for major jewelry houses, Juliette also offers the creation and realization of custom jewelry pieces. In an intimate universe, the young jeweler's boutique highlights rings, bracelets or necklaces with subtlety. Do you want to please or to please yourself? A visit is a must!

A trip back in time that revives our childlike souls! This favorite address, the brainchild of Jules 8 years ago, is a hit. The 26-year-old, who started out as an itinerant, has bought 200^m2 to sell his finds. It's a paradise for "chine" enthusiasts! Digging bins (€2 each!) and racks share, among other things, "so 80's" second-hand collections at low prices. The boutique is anchored in an ecological dimension, using only natural or recycled materials. Follow us on the web!

Adorable and authentic, this Bonhomme de bois is one of the most beautiful addresses in Caen. Outside, the windows are already eye-catching with their pretty displays. Inside, a warm atmosphere, smiles and good advice are the order of the day. Moulin Roty, Vilac, Djeco, Lilliputiens, Deglingos or Jellycat plush toys, all soft and original (we love the Odell octopus), Corolle dolls with their sweet vanilla scent, share the shelves and racks. A great way to rediscover your child's soul and to inspire wonderment in the youngest!

We like it, the idea is brilliant: to remake a wardrobe with nice pieces for a modest budget is the dream, no? Marie and Daniel went all the way to open this store which could be mistaken for a traditional store. Dare to push the door and let the magic happen! All the clothes are sorted by color, washed, ironed, there are clothes for women but also for men. And what is good is that these are clothes in the air of time, the thrift is not only vintage, phew!

Always radiant, always with a banana, Fred knows the city like the back of her hand! With her camera in hand, she roams the streets in search of the best shots to make people drool on social networks by sublimating people in a "click-clack". And her culinary photos... we were conquered, with the desire to teleport in the image and to swallow the dishes she immortalizes! In short, this Miss Deufré is a real photography fairy.

The Spanish brand has become unavoidable. Whether you are a woman, a man, whom you are fifteen years old, or the fifty well advanced, difficult not to be attracted to one of these trendy clothes whose brand is secret. On the ground floor as on the floor, we are happy to go between the different displays, with the rhythm of an electro music that in the long run can become stressful, but it must be said grows to consumption! Especially as prices are attractive, and the stark choice: jackets, trousers, shoes, skirts, t-shirts, sliced tones: black, white, red… The recipe takes, and often comes from the signed store… of a "Z".

Gentlemen, if you've never been to this address, you're missing out! The French brand has conquered the whole territory, and Caen since 2012. Here you'll find nothing but perfectly finished gentleman's shoes, the kind that give you the presence and elegance of a James Bond. In fact, we call them "shoes", a nuance that makes all the difference. There's a plethora of choice, and a wide range of sizes (38 to 48, with half sizes). A beautiful place, from which you leave with a few extra centimetres of confidence.

Well, the bumps, we know... well especially Titine! No chance for her, we are the bosses of the bumps. If you are also the champions to park your car without escaping a scratch, if you suffer from the curse of the posts which appear as by magic behind you ("it is not my fault!"), well here is a garage which knows us well, very well, too well even! A team at the top, an unfailing kindness and a very rare professionalism... A word, a gesture and the team makes our car look brand new, without bruises or bandages!

Benoît is far from a beginner - he knows all about clothes! Just look at his arsenal of boutiques, some of the trendiest in Caen: Stor'Age on rue Ecuyère, Fridge on rue Froide, Koko'shop on rue Paul Doumer and It Shop, again on rue Froide. The store is spread over several levels, with a very urban shop feel. The brands are in tune with the times. T-shirts, little dresses, jackets, down jackets and an impressive collection of shoes for men and women, from sneakers to moccasins. Finally, the welcome is top-notch. Go for it!

With its retro facade, its interior with stones and exposed beams, this concept store dedicated to men presents itself to us with a style. In this place with a friendly and authentic atmosphere, Thomas, its founder, proposes a barber-hairdresser corner, a tattoo shop and a deco and lifestyle space. In this last one, we find care products, decoration, clothes and accessories of eco-responsible and upcycling brands. In short, a place with a real soul that has been designed to offer the visitor a moment just for him!

As you step through the door, a journey through time and space awaits you. A child's soul is rekindled by Japanese pop culture. At Mangarake, the franchise's ^6th location and^1st in the region, Emilien welcomes you. Right in the center of town, in this 90 m² space, Japanese mangas take pride of place. One Piece, Dragon Ball, Pokemon... you'll find figurines, plush toys, posters, books, drinks and Loungefly bags. There's also a Harry Potter, Disney, Marvel and Star Wars area. Enough to make our eternal children dream.

To put your child's shoes on, go to Pauline and Julie, mother hens par excellence. Their pretty store is dedicated to children's shoes and the welcome is as warm and friendly as their rainbow logo. Boots, tennis shoes, sandals and the famous Medusas, you'll find everything you need to keep your child's shoes on during the day as well as at night (oh the beautiful slippers!). You'll also find a wide range of accessories. Beautiful brands, affordable prices, an interest in ecology. Plus, they don't push you to sell. That's great!

This shop is fairy-tale, one can't help but stop in front of the windows to admire the work in progress. The Atelier des Eclisses was founded in 1984 by Jean-Yves Tanguy and taken over in 2018 by Antoine Lescombe. A true niche trade, Antoine's unparalleled know-how is a delight for musicians. From purchase to expertise, including repairs, maintenance and even sound adjustment, everything is there to pamper your instrument!

Instead of the place of Michèle Zeller, an essential stopover of this street in the area of elegance, here is a shop that also put on the same elegance, being entirely dedicated to the brand Longchamp (two small sisters already exist in Rouen and Valenciennes). Apart from this… the shop is light, the refined and refined garden and the brand the every corner on two levels. Apart from that… you only have an embarrassment of choice: bags, scarves, shoes, travel, folding, case, man, woman, junior and high school high school… Complete ranges and regular arrivals for this brand that has been able to build on quality and count many amateurs. Apart from this… side-side, the dealer is adorable. And otherwise, apart from this… don't hesitate to ask for the loyalty card.

Because a woman's beauty is more than just a standard and a size 36, Christine decided to create a boutique where beautiful women are the stars. As soon as you enter, she already knows what will fit you. From size 44 to 62, you'll find trendy, young and European brands and their pieces with beautiful materials for the famous "perfect fall". Whether you're looking for a casual, sportswear or gala look, you'll find something to suit you (literally and figuratively, since you can try on boots for wide calves!). Bravo !

Electrobike is the electric bike specialist in Caen. In business since 2009, Electrobike is a master of its trade! From models of all types to accessories, the store is well-stocked. The price range is wide, depending on the model, your needs (city bike, folding bike, VTC, mountain bike) and your size - like clothes, not everyone rides in the same category! Electrobike also offers a rental service for a day or more, as well as maintenance and repairs for your little queen.

Stop! This is where you'll find the full range of merchandising items from the famous brand with the little pink shrimp. The brand that spices up all kinds of sauces, especially the humorous ones, Normandy and Normandie, or how to turn clichés on their head! Heula, and its designer Sylvain Guichard-Bichicchi, laughs at the weather, cows, the "Cid", red-cheeked farm girls... The brand showcases the riches of Normandy's heritage and blends in with current events, using a wide range of media with the same playful, quirky touch.

A problem with your phone, tablet or computer? Your screen is broken? And when you see the exorbitant price of our increasingly sophisticated devices, you don't want (and even less have the means!) to replace them at the slightest glitch. That's where France GSM comes in like a white knight to the rescue of our "precious" equipment. Mobile or computer repair, battery replacement or simple unlocking, the technicians at Rue Saint-Jean do everything they can to save your multimedia tool and push back this cursed programmed obsolescence.

Certainly the Magasin store is not a novelty in France or in Caen, but from time to time remembering the good old addresses does not hurt. So let's stop for a moment on this loan-to-wear teacher, created in 1902 in Amiens, which we really like. The Saint John Street Shop is beautiful and wide-ranging with its vintage furniture and contemporary lighting. The garments are quality and display affordable prices with the same quality. All styles are represented: discreet, connected, chic, casual. The shop map offers some really interesting cuts. And then make the test: you can wash and relaver your Devred clothes, they don't move. It is a sign…

Cicada or ant? It's up to you! Here, you will find new and second hand clothes (second hand in ultra short circuit: they are the clothes of its customers!). With a choice of first quality, impossible to be deprived! Many pretty pieces which under their false casual airs can become ultra-chic with some accessories. And not to spoil anything, Pascale is charming and generous with beautiful attentions for her customers whose tastes she targets. Cicada or ant, you will find the outfit that will suit you perfectly from size 36 to 48.
