Catherine B

St-Germain & Les Invalides


Luxury vintage goods from just two labels – Chanel and Hermès – are stocked by Catherine B, whose constantly changing, worldwide-sourced collection at any one time contains around 1500 pieces (scarves, jewellery, footwear, clothing, handbags, belts and more). Catherine is a font of knowledge on both fashion houses, and, while items here aren't cheap, all are 100% authentic (no knock-offs).
