Singular pieces that earn their place.
The Place London
8 rue de l’Odéon 75006 Paris
On rue de l'Odéon, behind Art Deco arcades, a seated mannequin waits in the window. Step inside and the boutique reveals itself as a gallery, quietly rooted in the spirit of the Left Bank.
Simon Burstein builds his selection the way a curator hangs a show: he searches, meets, observes, then chooses with restraint. Design, craftsmanship and noble fabrics all move in one direction, guided by a single line: the eye.
Some of the houses found at The Place London. Each has its own world, from British craftsmanship to bold, free-spirited prints, and all are part of its eclectic edit
Leathersmith of London is a celebration of British craftsmanship, where tradition meets a distinctly contemporary spirit. Established in 1839, the house first made its name with beautifully crafted leather-bound diaries and notebooks, each reflecting a dedication to fine materials and meticulous detail. Today, that heritage extends into clothing, knitwear and accessories, blending timeless British elegance with a playful sense of colour and character. From its hand-bound journals to its contemporary collections, Leathersmith creates pieces designed to be lived with, treasured and passed down through generations.

A Volantis skirt feels like a piece discovered rather than simply designed. Bold geometric shapes form distinctive ethnic prints in earthy tones and dusty hues, while each fabric carries the traces of a previous life. Founded by Jonny Lawrence and Giada Alazraki after meeting in Goa, Volantis transforms antique textiles into one-of-a-kind pieces, where craftsmanship, history and a free-spirited sensibility come together.

A Pierre-Louis Mascia piece feels like a collage brought to life. Vintage florals, geometric patterns and unexpected colours are layered together, creating a rich visual language where art, history and fashion intertwine. Trained as an illustrator at the Beaux-Arts in Toulouse, Mascia founded his label in 2007 in collaboration with Achille Pinto, the historic Italian silk printer based in Como. What began with silk scarves has evolved into a distinctive wardrobe, where every print tells a story and every piece feels like a work of art
