The World’s Most Beautiful Shops

What defines a beautiful shop? Designer and creator of online sensation The Shopkeepers Paula Flynn has traveled the globe to curate a visual celebration of the world’s most stunning storefronts, displays, and their knowledgeable shopkeepers.

The boutiques and emporiums in the pages of The World’s Most Beautiful Shops (Artisan, hardcover, on sale October 8, 2026, $35) honor truly exceptional retail experiences, showcasing an eclectic and charming assortment of over 100 shops in the United States, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. From an outdoor bookshop in Ojai to a weaver’s atelier in Madrid, a coffee shop in Kyoto to a farm-to-table skincare brand in Marrakech, Flynn captures the magic of brick-and-mortar retail in brief profiles and gorgeous photographs.

In brief profiles and gorgeous photographs Flynn captures the magic of brick-and-mortar retail—to transport us to other worlds, to honor regional crafts and heritage artisans, and to get us to slow down and appreciate the thrill of discovery.
