I want to start off by saying, I love Lemaire, I've been a big fan of Christophe Lemaire's work and also the design ethos and sensibilities that are present in Lemaire's collections. I have purchased many Lemaire pieces online, because I live in the States, so I really wanted to enjoy my experience at the Flagship in the Marais. Unfortunately it was extremely disappointing. The staff here are very dismissive and cold (I'm well aware of this attitude being prevalent in luxury retail SA's, but this was beyond anything I've ever experienced while shopping). I came in with the intention of getting 2 bags and other pieces i've been eyeing, but every time I would ask for help or had any questions, the SA's would barely answer my questions and seemed exasperated at the thought of telling me if something was in stock or in available in a different color. They even forgot my request to check something in the stock room that I wanted to try on. I waited around 10mins before I politely asked again, and they acted like I had grown 2 heads and made it seem like I was rushing them. Also the SA's outnumbered the clients, so i'm not sure why there was even a big delay? I was pretty annoyed at the lack of service, and didn't feel like spending my money here, and left with a bad taste in my mouth. I honestly wished I never went because my positive perception of the brand has honestly gone way down. Please hire a team that wants to be there and help out clients, or at least train them on very basic customer service...If I wanted to get judged by a group of Parisians for 30mins, I would've stood in front of a brasserie in my underwear! Good riddance!
Beautiful store though!
