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 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.
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.
@@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 ;)
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.
@@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!!!!! 😂😂😂
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.🇫🇷🛋️🪞💶
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!
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.
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.
I’ve only been twice in my life and I spent three days just going through everything. It was so excited 😆 I wished I had a thousand more clients to shop for because it was a dream both times. The flea markets that started all flea markets! Then attending world trade show for Interior Design for seven days. There’s truly no place like Paris❣️ well New York City❣️
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!
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!
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
That chandelier was just absolutely jaw dropping!!!!! Loved loved loved this series as someone who dreams of being an interior designer in another life 😂
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.
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 🙁
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.
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.
Can't wait to join Ross Cassidy on this flea market adventure in Paris! Navigating 20 acres and over 1,700 vendors sounds thrilling. Excited to learn tips on spotting bargains and authentic designer pieces. This is a must-watch for anyone looking to find treasure like a pro!

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
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.
Yeah those prices were wild
I agree. I hate that he didn't even try his best to negotiate..
its not his money so he doesnt care, its his clients money hes spending
@@pinkie24 ,
Yeah, I like the "Get your CC out!" phrase! 😱😛
He’s clearly not a “pro designer”, if he’s not even attempting to negotiate with the dealers.
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
Him: she is the most vicious haggler
Her: pay me less money or no deal
@@tokyodrifttt she simply gave her best price to close the deal
He held up six fingers, so she probably thought he was offering €600.

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

to me it came across as Jo'burg anglo that has lived in America for a long time
@@pwp8737ohhhh - smart! Let’s hope you’re spot on!
Is that mid-atlantic? If so, it would be more pronounced non?

Chip and Joanna have really gone upscale!
It’s really not just what you choose, but how you style it. Loved the placement of those ceramic tiles.

He admitted buying a fake Biot, for the "cheap" price of $300. You found one for $5.
pure bull
Chandelier doesn't look large enough to me ❤
It was hung to hi in the room.
I thought the same. Nice piece though.
@@bngr_bngr”too high”
@@davidbush131 I hate auto correct. But since I can’t see very well, I can’t really complain.
I agree or it is hung too high. Something was definitely off.
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed you and your client's browsing the French market. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Wonderful - some great finds. We need to see more of you on UA-cam, Ross.
What a fun and educational trip Ross is such a cutie too! More Ross!!!
I could watch this continuously! Love
I think the chandelier should have been larger. It's beautiful but looks small on her ceiling.
and it was placed too high.
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.
LOVE Ross Cassidy! More of him please!
PLEASE do more videos like this one. I loved it. ❤
"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
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.
He is getting a kickback.
Plus shipping 😬

It wasn’t even a lot
I could watch this ten times over. Please make more videos like this!
We definitely need more Ross -- he's a delight.
i agree and ADORABLE he used to date another designer jeff i think they broke up but ross looks great!

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!
It's hilarious to see rich people twitting around, acting like they've invented flea marketing when it's not even a real flea market😂

I went to this market about 12 years ago, it was amazing, I have never seen it's equal. Would love to go back with a BIG budget 😊
this is such a fun watch! I want to shop the paris flea market with him!
WOW! He really knows his art and names of different pieces. Impressive!

I want more. Can we have this as a series?
That chandelier is INCREDIBLE
Other than these are items way beyond my means, these two people are just, oh, so elegant!
Love learning about these artists!!!
I could spend forever in that market! thanks for this one.
I could watch this all day!
This would've been a dream job for me. Go shopping for a client's house. Love his job.
This requires a lot of experience, expertise and great chance. 💯
Money too...
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
Oh I just adore this. More, please!
Love ALL the great finds!!
