The original St.-Tropez sandal shop, which still makes the classic that fashion icons such as Jackie O. and Brigitte Bardot popularized. They make classic styles with pure lines in many kinds of leather, including cow, goat, calf, crocodile and snake. Python is especially popular. You can see the workmen creating the handmade shoes in the back workroom

Francesca Donà, a wonderful Venetian-born jeweler, acquired this shop from her friend Maurizio Pintaldi, and is carrying on the same tradition of creating unique pieces. Like Pintaldi, she describes her jewelry as sculpture, and has the following to prove that these designs are artful. You’ll find necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, as well as stunning coral, aquamarine, turquoise and mother of pearl—usually set in 18K gold. The small shop has had a loyal clientele since Maurizio and his former wife, Angela Pintaldi, opened it and Francesca Donà should appeal to the same customers, even once she has changed its name.

This small accessories boutique sells lots of fashion jewelry and trendy bags, but what it’s known for is its collection of classic St.-Tropez straw bags—the kind that St.-Tropez beauties may use to carry while marketing. They come in dozens of sizes from as small as a paperback book (perfect for carrying keys, a wallet and a phone on a summer evening) to big enough to use for your grocery shopping (an eco option, too.) All of the are made of rafia straw as are their great big beach hats. Some of the memorable adornments include little pom-poms and bows.

Two shops compete for the title of favorite St. Tropez sandal shop. K. Jacques and Atelier Rondini. Both have made the hand-made leather flip-flop shoes, better known as sandals St. Tropéziennes for more than seventy years. K. Jacques was founded in 1933, six years after Rondini.

Split into a section for women’s clothes and for men, this boutique store established in the 1960s sells beautiful button-down shirts, perfect as a beach cover-up for women or smart dress shirt for men. While the trademark shirt is the classic white button-down, there is a wide variety of colors, patterns and blends available.

St.-Tropez’s famous Place des Lices, shaded by 100-year old plane trees, hosts one of the region’s most charming Provençal markets every Tuesday and Saturday morning. On Tuesday, it’s a classic market with locally made gourmet treats, including lavender honey and jams. On Saturday it has the added bonus of hosting a slew of antiques dealers, though you have to be early for the best finds. In the midst of food stands, you’ll also find stalls of men’s linen shirts in every color and beachy T-shirts and sarongs. Favorite finds include organic soaps, jasmine-scented pouches, beach bags and Turkish towels. The pizza truck also serves delicious Margherita slices.

Only in a town where animal rights advocate Brigitte Bardot rules could you have a boutique that specializes in engraved animal tags. The solid brass tags can be custom ordered in a variety of sizes and shapes and lacquered in black. Messages and electronic chips can be incorporated and all can be ordered online.
