LIBRAIRE 7L
7 Rue de Lille, 75007 Paris
https://librairie7l.com/
Founded by Karl Lagerfeld in 1999—7L is a bibliophile's wonderland. It is a must, if you are looking for ideas and inspiration, especially photography, architecture, fashion, and interior design.

What's this bookstore all about?
Independent bookshops in Paris have always been destinations, and 7L Bookstore is no exception. You might even say it's a step inside the creative mind of the late bibliophile and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, who opened the shop 20 years ago.

What will we find on the shelves?
The selection follows Lagerfeld's own interests: photography, design, architecture, and interior design. You'll also find fashion catalogs and monographs, plus a collection of books published under his own imprint.

Any standout objects we might want to pick up for ourselves?
Keep your eyes on rarer books and items recommended by the helpful staff.

Who else shops here?
Creative industry folks, friends of Karl Lagerfeld, 7th arrondissement locals, and bibliophiles.

What really sets Librairie 7L apart from the indie bookstores populating Paris?
The selection: Lagerfeld was known for his home library, which was stacked from floor to ceiling with books spanning genres. This is an extension of that world.
