Discover the unique little world of Chinea
Nestled in Montpellier's ancient centre, Chinae offers a wide range of original gifts, decorations and clothes.
Over thirty artisans under one roof....
You can find all sorts of handmade things, including lingerie, soaps, tobacco grinders, cards, clothes and bags, jewellery, household decorations, pinned insects and butterflies, baby clothes and accessories, bow ties, teas and much, much more...!
Handmade by locals
Everything in the boutique is handmade in Montpellier. If you would like to know the exact origin of the raw materials or the fabrication process, feel free to ask in store, by Facebook or by email.
A team of artisans
The team are really friendly and would be happy to help. Don't forget your phone with a translator though as some of them may not be able to speak English!
Find the perfect, unique gift
Each artisan's card is displayed with the products: if you like what you see, you can contact the artisan directly to see if they make to measure.
“Chinae was a great discovery as they stock a variety of truly original products, at corresponding prices. Where else can you find handmade jewellery using insect wings and wall tattoos? I came away with a card and some tea, but I and my credit card will be back soon...”
