Giving You an Eiffel







Being that the season is almost-Spring around here, people are redecorating, refreshing, and ready for the new and different.
What that means at Paris Envy is that pieces are flying out the door almost as quickly as they come in! And there are some beauties, for sure.

Make time for a visit, won't you? You'll be inspired and maybe find that special piece you've been searching for.

Start Spreading The News


Just arrived back from a fabulous week in NYC, searching for inspiration at the gift show and in every nook and cranny of the city we could get to! New York City is indeed amazing -- the history in every building, every street.
And yet... it became so apparent that we have a treasure trove right here in our own city, in the form of dozens of unique locally-owned shops! You just don't find many small mom-and-pop style places there -- largely due to sky high rent. One gentleman we talked with expressed his anxiety over the monthly struggle to keep his little card shop open and thriving, faced with constant competition from corporately owned chain stores.
So please make some time to celebrate the riches of the furnishings, gifts, clothing and so much more available to you right here in your own home town, no plane ride required! Together we can all make Phoenix a vibrant, exciting place to visit, explore and live.

Bye Bye, Bebe!!



Yes, we are saying au revoir to our baby goodies. Though adorable and so much fun to purchase for the shop, they must go to make room for lots of grown up goodies just waiting in the wings.

SAVE 50% on all baby clothing, dishware, toys, decor items, etc. until it's gone!!
