Iris, Paris

Ground zero for a dizzying selection of straight-off-the-runway styles, this Italian manufacturer of some of the world's most coveted shoe labels sells its wares at a boutique showroom on Rue de Grenelle. Making available a host of its coveted brands at one all-inclusive location, Iris stocks the designer footwear of partners Marc Jacobs, John Galliano, Victor & Rolf, and Véronique Branquinho, among others. Selection, not discount pricing, is the attraction here. Brands carried are comparably priced to each designer's own boutique prices.
