The Fashion Gallery

2

Near Terminal 2 security, The Fashion Gallery is the big designer stop before European flights push back.

This shop sits airside in Terminal 2, just past the main duty free zone, so you’re shopping after security and passport control. It mainly targets Schengen and nearby European departures, so it’s easiest to hit if you’re flying airlines like Air France or easyJet from T2. Figure 5–10 minutes’ walk from most 2A and 2B gates if you’re not dawdling.

The Fashion Gallery leans hard into luxury labels, with prices in full euro RRP. You’ll see the usual big-name brands across bags, shoes, and accessories, and a smaller rack of seasonal clothing. Don’t expect outlet-style deals; think city-center boutique pricing with airport stock. If you want a high-end handbag or silk scarf as a last-minute gift, this is the spot in Terminal 2.

Selection runs heavier on women’s accessories than men’s, with more shelf space for handbags, small leather goods, and sunglasses than for menswear. Jewelry and watches sit in locked cases along one wall, so you’ll need staff for anything over roughly €200. If you only have 20–30 minutes before boarding, focus on bags, wallets, and sunglasses near the front instead of walking the full store.

Hours typically track the Terminal 2 schedule, opening early morning around the first wave of departures and staying open into the evening while flights are still on the board. Staff can process VAT paperwork if your purchase value hits the current French minimum, but you’ll still need to use the tax refund kiosks in the terminal. Keep your passport and boarding pass ready; they usually ask for both at checkout for bigger-ticket items.

Tip: check your gate on the screens outside first; gates in 2A and 2B can change late, and you don’t want a 10-minute power walk back with a new bag in hand.
