Designers at a Discount: Franck et Fils
Best for Less : Episode FLBFL-104
 |
|
Franck et Fils is a hot fashion superstore in Paris, France.
|
Our first stop is Paris' Franck et Fils, a long-time Paris institution that was recently renovated. It carries around 300 labels, from great designers to less expensive look-alikes. It gives a 10% discount to anyone carrying a passport, and another 12% because it doesn't have to charge VAT (value-added tax). Combined with a sale price, you can get great names like Kenzo at half-off.
Franck et Fils is located at 80 rue de Passy in Paris' 16th Arrondisement.
Franck et Fils carries major designers as well as French designers new to the fashion scene.
A designer Kenzo scarf at Franck et Fils has a retail price of $300, but after the store's 10% discount for anyone holding a passport, 12% discount for the VAT (value-added tax) exclusion, and the store's regular sale price, it's only $150.
