Embrace the Old Money style with our selection of fashion accessories in Paris. Discover where to find touchscreen leather gloves and Made in France umbrellas just steps from the Derby Alma.
"Elegance is not a question of luxury, it is a question of attitude," said Karl Lagerfeld. In 2026, this maxim has never been truer. The trend is all about "Quiet Luxury": sophistication without apparent logos, where everything lies in the nobility of the materials.
Staying at the Derby Alma, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower and couture houses, means living at the heart of this aesthetic. But to perfect an outfit, one must master the art of detail. Far from "Fast Fashion", we guide you to the luxury accessory boutiques in Paris that champion exceptional craftsmanship.
The Glove Maker 2.0: Between Tradition and Modernity
The essential accessory for winter 2025 is no longer just aesthetic, it is connected. The great search of the moment? Touchscreen leather gloves that combine the finesse of lambskin with digital practicality.

Located near Place Vendôme, this house founded in 1892 remains the absolute reference. For a sustainable luxury gift, this is the essential address. Their classic models traverse eras without aging, perfectly embodying this Old Money style so sought after today.
Our favorite: The "Jackie" model. A timeless tribute to Jackie Kennedy, cut from a glazed lambskin of absolute suppleness. The quintessence of bourgeois chic.

Maison Agnelle has negotiated the modern turn with brilliance. This is where to go to find trendy women's gloves that allow you to use your smartphone without exposing your hands to the Parisian cold. Their collaborations with designers make them full-fledged fashion pieces.
Our favorite: The "City Tactile" collection. Finally, silk-lined gloves in vibrant colors (carmine red or emerald green), specially treated to stay connected without sacrificing elegance.
The Art Umbrella: The Ultimate Parisian Accessory
Facing unpredictable showers, the sturdy umbrella and elegant umbrella makes its great return to demanding wardrobes. Gone are the disposables; we want a Made in France umbrella that we keep for a lifetime.
Parasolerie Heurtault: The Excellence of the Master of Art

At the Viaduc des Arts, Michel Heurtault is the guardian of an endangered savoir-faire. Named a Maître d'Art (the highest artisanal distinction in France), he doesn't manufacture umbrellas; he sculpts haute couture objects. He has restored parasols for the imperial court and created for the cinema. Here, every piece is unique, designed to last a hundred years.
Our favorite: The "Bespoke" experience. Choosing your precious wood for the handle, your Lyon silk for the canopy, and watching the artisan shape your personal shelter. It is the height of confidential luxury.
The Derby Alma Tip: The Art of "Less is More"
Why do these details count so much? Because they define your allure. In the Golden Triangle, near the Derby Alma, one does not overload. One structures.
Our fashion tip for 2025: bet on a sober monochrome outfit (beige, black, navy) and awaken it with a single exceptional accessory unearthed from these artisans. It is this touch of discreet sophistication, this blend of tradition and modern comfort, that will open all doors for you.
True luxury is that which acquires a patina over time. Bringing back a pair of handmade gloves from your trip means taking a bit of French heritage in your suitcases.
Ready for an exclusive shopping session? Ideally located on the Left Bank, the Derby Alma is your dream starting point. Our concierge team knows the secret addresses of the neighborhood and will be delighted to guide you to the best artisan boutiques in Paris to complete your wardrobe.
