A travel-lover's guide to the world's most enchanting brick-and-mortar stores, from the founder of online sensation The Shopkeepers Paula Flynn is a seasoned fashion and textile designer whose personal journey through well-curated boutiques and emporiums across the globe led her to create The Shopkeepers, a beloved Instagram account and website celebrating the world’s most exceptional retail experiences. In The World’s Most Beautiful Shops she introduces readers to an eclectic and charming assortment of over 100 of these retailers, from an outdoor bookshop in Ojai to a weaver’s atelier in Madrid, a coffee shop in Kyoto to a farm-to-table skincare brand in Marrakech. Though their chosen wares and aesthetic sensibilities vary, they all boast stunning storefronts, fantastic displays, beautiful products, and knowledgeable shopkeepers. In brief profiles and gorgeous photographs Flynn captures the magic of brick-and-mortar retail—to transport us to other worlds, to honor regional crafts and heritage artisans, and to get us to slow down and appreciate the thrill of discovery.
