Parisian here : this is not what we'd call a "flea market", which are more like garage sales. These are (obviously) professional antique/vintage designers boutiques whose clientele are wealthy people/luxury hotels, etc... In short : you don't go there to try and find something cheap and cute for you appartment. You go there, freak out when you see the price tags, and leave pretty soon after to go to a nicer part of town because the area is shady.
@@mizzlopez5660 Well, the « puces de Saint Ouen » (the name of the place they’re at) are still worth visiting if you love design, it’s like going to the biggest open-air museum, you could easily spend a day there without even seeing it all, like a little adventure. But again : bargains are really hard to come by (especially when you’re a tourist) and the vicinity isn’t the best.
the fact that you did not bargain any of the prices BLOWS my mind. You got abstolutely ripped off. They set the prices extremely high so people bargain, it's entirely part of the experience.
The chandelier is gorgeous, but it’s too small for the room and It gets lost in the space. Proportions are everything! Great example of how a big budget doesn’t necessarily guarantee you successful results.
Exactly my thought . Also If you claim you have an eye for this kind of stuff you should be able to spot special pieces in a pile of garbage . Not in a vintage market with designer pieces, hand picked and refurbished.
She’s fine, she has a Kelly bag lol. Some of these people are Sotheby’s art collector level. Reminder, you’re watching AD not some DIY channel. No need to feel sorry for the clients.
As a professional commercial interior designer, I’d say as great as this place is you’re never going to find a bargain there, you’re always going to pay top whack, especially when you don’t really try to bargain.
@@paradox5391 That's exactly what happened. In France we would probably used one hand first ( for the one ) then the second hand in another move to mark the "five". Maybe the alternative way would be using only one hand. A very common method too ;)
That glass bubble vase for $300--I see those at the thrift stores all the time for like $5; I clearly have no idea what to look for, but I'd love to have his knowledge!
Thank you, AD! Beautifully filmed & edited-with so many wonderful takeaways. Ross is generously eloquent in mannerisms & intentionality. And such an exquisite space to design for, for a fantastic warm-hearted client.🇫🇷🛋️🪞💶
@@InterTechneIn this situation, no, but it does help if you learn at least basic phrases and in this case, numbers, since you’d be dealing with them a lot in this specific situation. I have seen people who want to move to a foreign country permanently but refuse to learn the language and they want a job working in the country. Um, no bueno. If you want to live in France permanently and get a visa and a job, you have to know fluent French! French people are not going to speak fluent English!!!!! 😂😂😂
Oh darn it, that was my favorite show of all times! I so miss those Calif. designers making their magic! And they were so unique and glamorous in their own style worlds!
This was put together really well. The additional pics and price stamps made me feel like I was really there and also deliberating about the items. Probably lots of effort to film this way, but it’s appreciated
En effet c'est overpriced pour une réplique de Biot, on peut trouver du authentique sur Selency ou Vinted pour bien moins cher 😅 Les puces de St-Ouen ne vendent plus si bien que ça donc espérons que cette vidéo les relancent un peu!
I mean… at the end of the day it is stuff, whether you pay a fortune or got it for free, it only has value to people who all end as dust. Memories & experiences are invaluable.
AD is obviously up market. That was expected. Rudeness wasn't. He goes there all the time. He made that clear. He can't even speak French enough to make his purchase offers in French?
Fun video. Although I could see engaging a professional interior designer by reason of their access to markets retail customers do not have, the idea that someone would actually design my living space for me is not at all appealing.
I shared my tour of this same market in the spring!! it is truly an interior designer's playground!! However, the items I was looking at were much more affordable! LOL my largest purchase was a flower pot for only $50 euro.
That chandelier was just absolutely jaw dropping!!!!! Loved loved loved this series as someone who dreams of being an interior designer in another life 😂
The chandelier is beautiful and a great size for the size of the room, if the ceilings weren't that large. The super high ceilings also make the whole room feel smaller, as it's so vertical. Not really an interior design problem, but a common rich-north-american architecture problem. Could maybe have been fixed interior by putting in some beams at the height below the high windows and above the terrace doors.
Wow I loved this. I'm not rich or anything but the history of the pieces is so interesting ! Never know, you may find a piece in your local vide grenier...
I went to the Marchè aux Puces and found some great bargains, but I didn't go to the shops. The things I bought were outside. But that was over 40 years. Seems like yesterday. I've lived in Italy for 21 years. "Antique" markets here are mostly over priced. But every once in a while you can hit a jackpot. I miss Paris.😢
I will never be able to understand why there are so many people having problem with paying for food and an appartment and then there are others saying that paying 350 bugs for a fake vase is cheap and 8.500k is affordable.
The chandelier is deeeevine, but it's lost all the way up there. For a 4 year search she could've had something made! The statement 'I don't want something new bc the space needs age'; but there's no sense of age to that piece. I suspect they wanted vintage so they could resell it later when something better comes along. A lot of red flags here that this is more about status than the object - enormously inflated prices, the attitude when they went to the 'more touristy' part, paying 300 for a FAKE biot while a real one is a third of the price online.... these guys either only see value with a name and a 3 figure price, or its PR for the market. As a vintage dealer myself I'd love to go there just to learn, but I'd end up quickly bored bc I couldn't buy anything - its all 3 times the market value and I buy to invest, not collect. If I want to collect, I buy handmade.
Curious how they never mentioned the price of the chandelier. I'm guessing it was the most expensive thing they saw that day 😅 Also, it feels way too small and elevated. Pretty, but lost up there 🙁

Totally agree with you. That chandelier is way too small for that space. When he was explaining it I was thinking it was going in a small room.
I agree! Just said the same thing! 😅
I would have put a longer chain and dropped it down, Like I could afford it, LOL
Please turn this into a series! Thoroughly enjoyed watching this :)
I'd love to see a series where ross goes to other markets with different clients each time!!!
Yes please!
I was about tio suggest that ! Loved the video
YESSSS
"Pro Designer" goes shopping at the most expensive Flea Market on earth and pays WAY to much, because its not his money. I fell sorry for his clients

He is getting a kickback.

People who shop at these kinds of stores are looking for a bargain.

The chandelier and watching the whole experience was magic !
More more ❤
The chandelier is just beautiful ❤
Magic was that no one broke a piece and it took a crew of 5-6 people to installed.
My gosh Im so inlove with this content. I cant get over!! What a joy to look around and finding rare art pieces!!!

2 rich Americans at an expensive Parisian market who don't speak French and spend too much money but are very pleased with themselves. Eye roll.

@@davidbush131 I hate auto correct. But since I can’t see very well, I can’t really complain.

Brings back some of my favorite memories of shopping with you at the flea market in Paris! Love the items you all found!!
This definitely needs to be a series.
I think the chandelier should have been larger. It's beautiful but looks small on her ceiling.
and it was placed too high.
I’m so impressed with his depth of knowledge.
He was probably shopping there and then Googled it by image search,, made the deal with the dealer and brought the client. 😅😅😅😅
He is too
Uh?

I could watch this ten times over. Please make more videos like this!
I love this series! TBH I think the chandelier is too small for the space and hung to high. But that’s to my (European) liking and taste…
Nope you are correct, I'm sure the client has a new one in that space now.
You're totally correct-- it's a beautiful piece but it's so overwhelmed by the space.
PLEASE do more videos like this one. I loved it. ❤
What a fun and educational trip Ross is such a cutie too! More Ross!!!
this is such a fun watch! I want to shop the paris flea market with him!
Wonderful - some great finds. We need to see more of you on TH-cam, Ross.
He gave her horrible advices.
Wish the show ''Million dollar designers '' are back , loved the interior designers ;)
Yes! I loved that show
Oh darn it, that was my favorite show of all times! I so miss those Calif. designers making their magic! And they were so unique and glamorous in their own style worlds!
This has been so fascinating. It’s like an art gallery tour by Ross Cassidy.

i think some sort of long light orange or pastle orange scarfs warped around the top side of the room would really go well with the chandelier
WOW! He really knows his art and names of different pieces. Impressive!
People making noise in the comment can’t seem to realise this is uploaded by Architectural Digest. Obviously it would be upmarket.
