URGENT: Where can I buy Jordi Labanda products in Paris (I'm looking for Pens
and/or Bags)???
I'm actually visiting Paris right now, and I'm leaving in on June 31.
I desperatly need to find a Jordi Labanda Pen or Bag before I leave!!!
I realize the bags can be very expensive, so I might just bring back a
Pen instead.
Thanks!
(For answer to be valid, it must be received on June 30th at the
latest, since I'll be leaving Paris the next day. It must contain the
name of a store franchise or boutique, and district and/or address in
Paris where those store(s) can be found..
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!)

Spain does seem like a better bet than the other countries.
I'll take a look, unless you've changed your mind.
In the meantime, I came across a reference to someone buying JL
blocnotes at Fiorucci in Paris.
Fiorucci 28 rue La Reynie 75001 PARIS 01 42 33 85 08

I've doubled the price of the answer in the hopes that someone will
take this up. If its a difficult task, let me know. I just need to
find a store in Paris (or if anyone has some tips for me that would be
hugely appreciated.. being a guy looking for the perfect gift for his
girlfriend who desperatly wanted to come to Paris with me but had to
stay home and work, a can use any directions you guys can offer!!)
oh, and I'm flying back home (to Canada) from Paris on the 16th
(between June 31st and July 16th I'll be traveling around Europe)..
although I doubt I'll have time to do any shopping on the 16th, it is
a last resort.
Hi lxluthr
My best suggestion is for you to try the Printemps store in Boulevard
Haussmann. In 2003 they had Jordi Labanda student stuff including
folders and notebooks.
The bag could be difficult. I found a blogger saying it is not easy to
find a JL bag in Paris, but last month she left her number at
Printemps so the sales assistant could call her when/if they got some
stock.
Printemps is in a good part of Paris for shopping, and near the large,
stylish Galeries Lafayette. GL don't mention Labanda in the fashion
brands listed on their website, but it might be worth a look if you
are nearby.
I'll let you know if anyone answers the emails I sent out, but I do
realise you are running out of time.
Wishing you successful shopping -
Good luck - Leli

It would be a big expense to change my travel itenerary. So unless
they have confirmed JL pens and/or bags, its too risky.
What about contacting the distributor for JL? Wouldn't they provide
the names/locations of stores in these cities that carry their
products?
probably too late for you...
but i just got back to paris from a trip to barcelona. saw a couple of
jordi labanda bags there, but they were pretty hard to find. i only
saw 2 bags (but on sale!) at a store in la ribera, i thought that i
would find tons of his stuff in barcelona but this was not the case.
i bought some notebooks as gifts for friends last year at le
printemps, if i recall correctly. anyways, like i said, its like 2
weeks after the fact but i did a search on google for his stuff and i
came across a link to your question. let me know if i can help more.

Thanks for your help Leli, I'll check it out later today. I was under
the impression Paris would be the perfect place to find JL bags since
he's got a line of products called PARIS (go figure).
I'll be making stops in Venice, Rome, Athens and Amsterdam throughout
the next two weeks (in that order). Although I figured Paris would be
the best place to find the products, I'm now starting to question if
Venice or Rome might be better. So I'd like to open up the Answer to
include ANY of those cities (although I'll only be in those cities for
1-2 days each, and traveling with friends, so a store name and
hopefully address would be ideal, since I'll have less time to explore
a shopping district, like I can do here in Paris)
Thanks again for your help. This is becoming somewhat of a 'mission'
for me, and I'd pay more for an answer, if the cost didn't start to
bite into my budget for the gift itself!
okay.. this might just be crazy talk, but instead of Amsterdam (as my
last destination), I *could* fly to Portugal or Spain (isn't that
where JL is based out of?). My girlfriend would kill me for going so
much out of my way just for a 'stupid' bag (though she'd never
actually say that), but there's a certain zeal about finding this
elusive thing for her, and it might be worth the adventure. (then
again, I've still got my fingers crossed that I'll find it
conveniently in Paris)
Hi again lxluthr
After some preliminary research I'm confident I could find you the
names of stores in Barcelona and/or Madrid which are generally good
hunting grounds for Jordi Labanda fashion, according to forum
discussions, but I couldn't guarantee what would actually be in stock.
The shops I'm discovering in those cities don't have email addresses
easily available.
Let me know if you'd like a few "probable" addresses and phone numbers.
