Shoppers line up outside luxury boutiques as Printemps department store reopens in Paris


How long has it been seen you physically shopped in a store? When was the last time you were welcomed inside your favourite place to splurge by a whiff of strong air conditioning combined with a fruity-floral fragrance? Don’t you terribly miss running your fingers over brand new, unused clothes hanging crisply over hangers and mannequins? Or standing in front of a full-sized mirror in a luxury store and holding a plethora of bags cause it makes you smile? You, my friend, are not alone. I know that for sure as I have seen images of masked shoppers lined up to browse at luxury boutiques inside Printemps’ main Paris store on Thursday. As France gradually eases its lockdown measures and restrictions following the outbreak of the coronavirus disease, hoards of shoppers flanked the city’s major department store that reopened after two months of closure. Printemps, owned by Qatari investors, is one of the pre-eminent French department stores saw a lot of interested buyers including many Asian residents in Paris, queued up outside the stores especially to nab best sellers from Louis Vuitton, Gucci and more. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words we have 5 of them for you. A world that’s more hungry to shop for bags than food can be witnessed below-
