Yukiko is the name of a Marais shop, its friendly owner, and her luxury house brand. The store has been in the same Marais location for seven years, and from her storefront Yukiko has watched the neighborhood morph from an obscure destination for gallery-goers to a fashion hot-spot. Yukiko specialises in haute costume jewellery. It’s, in a word, gilded: chunky and thin necklaces abound, thick cuffs sit alongside dainty brooches. The store also boasts Yukiko’s own silky floaty pieces, plus a small selection of furs, Chanel handbags, and vintage Hermès blouses. It’s the perfect place for the girl who always loved borrowing from mum’s jewellery box (and possibly still does). SM
