What's inside

The ground it covers.

  1. 01

    The store, understood

    History, positioning and why this door carries the weight it does.

  2. 02

    The Haussmann flagship

    Exterior, interiors, the iconic rooftop and the store structure, floor by floor.

  3. 03

    Services and beauty services

    The counters, institutes and experiences a beauty brand sits alongside.

  4. 04

    Brand directory and layout

    Who sits where, level by level, and what that placement says.

  5. 05

    Merchandising and store atmosphere

    How the floor actually sells, photographed in the store.

  6. 06

    Champs-Élysées and the Wellness Gallery

    The second store and the wellness levels, mapped the same way.

Bought once, not learned door by door.

Entering a market you do not know is the most expensive way to learn it. The wrong distributor, a mispriced ladder, a regulation discovered late: each costs a season, and some cost the market. The reports exist so those lessons arrive on paper first.

  • Researched in person

    Shop floors, counters and meetings, not desk research: what is actually ranged, at what price, by whom.

  • Senior judgement

    Prepared by Valérie Kaminov: thirty-five years and more than sixty markets of knowing what converts.

  • Decision-ready

    Retailers, distribution, pricing and positioning, organised the way a route-to-market decision is actually made.

  • Current edition

    Researched for this cycle, dated on the cover, and updated as the market moves.

"Strong partnerships are built on trust, transparency and results. Valérie understands all three."
