Founded in 1886, the Old England store at the corner of Boulevard des Capucines and Rue Scribe, was a hub for British menswear enthusiasts in the middle of Paris. Though the rounded three-story facade looks very much the same as it did at the turn of the century, the beloved fashion store closed in recent years, replaced by newer retail brands.
