Rue Saint-Denis, whose sinuosity reveals the trade route:

Omnipresent wholesaling:

Window signs: "Urgently seek mechanic," "Seek knitwear producer"

Stores that do not sell retail usually have a sign that says so:

"No retail sales"

If there is no sign, walk in and ask.

Lys Fashion

220 rue St. Denis

No sign

 "Do you sell retail?" "Not normally, but once in awhile it's ok."

You will find novelties, classics... 

Isadora Diffusion

And deals:

Avoid Saturdays,

when many shops close for Shabbat.
