Plate M-16 · 2,224 stores · 1951–2100 of 2224 · curated ORBIS register

What makes great fashion houses & boutiques?

This plate lists 2,224 shops in 122 countries. Paris has the most with 191, followed by Tokyo with 68. Among these shops, 90 describe made-to-order work, 12 offer repairs, 234 sell online and 11 work by appointment, going by their own descriptions.

Ask whether the label is the shop's own: some shops design and make their own collections, while others select from other labels.

Ask about alterations: ask whether the shop shortens and adjusts garments, and how long that takes.

Ask about returns and shipping: ask whether pieces can be exchanged from abroad and sent to your country.
