For a weekend at Mama Shelter in Paris, pack basics that are simple, honest and a little bit hip, just like the hotel.

When packing for a weekend stay at boutique hotel Mama Shelter in Paris, get inspired by the hotel’s interiors and bring a mix of cool casual staples and more classic dressy pieces. According to the hotel’s website “Mama loves things simple, honest and a little bit hip,” which sounds like a perfect recipe for a bag filled with low-key, high style, French design.
