From Barbar’s Guide to Paris, A Tiny Sex Diary, water from the Seine River (Yes, it’s real Seine water,) and letters that shoppers can write to their future selves; every item has a sense of humor, packed with enormous wit. Nessy has published her own guide books, so no one needs to be a tourist in Paris. The shop also displays various vintage finds, including: poison rings embedded with equal myth as well as fatality, collections of old ashtrays from some of the most well-known restaurants in Paris. Think: Le Train Bleu and Café de Flore.
Messy Nessy Cabinet also hosts a monthly Writers and Readers Club in the store, uniting a community exuding French-influenced charisma and generosity. All in the spirit of: curios for the curious.
