Moynat would be the most intresting to see.
I can understand your idea--targeting a specific item, @ marches aux puces, would prove more difficult than visiting a store to buy.
I found Paris flea markets...an experience more than for shopping. There's a form to the interactions, a process. It's difficult & frustrating @ times to learn.
I tend to wander more than shop specifically on vacations. So, I understand Pimpernel's idea, also.
Everyone's different--which is nice.
a few more for you to check out perhaps;
Le Tanneur, really practical and plenty of stores
Morabito, very luxe ol' school
Renouard, grown-up practicality
Perrin, avante-garde bags and accessories that I personally absolutely love
As for fee markets. Pleeease go, just don't go with too many expectations. I found a great 'forgotten' name silk scarf, rolled/hand-sewn etc for 3 Euro, just a lucky find. Just go and browse and have fun.

I've been researching Moynat. They have beautiful bags. I am in love with the way they can personalize their handbags. I'm now considering their Cabas Monogram, Cabas Pauline or Quattro tote. I would like it personalized if I get it. I've sent them an email to get more information. My big concern is if the tote will be wide enough.
Wonderful! Those are all terrific choices
You will fall bonkers-head-over-heels in love with the brand when you visit their Paris showroom. Impeccable design, craftsmanship, customer service and attention to detail all around.
And yes - love the tromp l'œil and personalizations they're willing to do - so fun
They've been getting a lot of press lately with the Pharrell Williams collab, but here's another nice little blog post about visiting not only the showroom, but atelier and workroom also http://parisapartment.wordpress.com/2014/08/13/traveling-in-style/.
Keep us posted - would love to hear more details about getting something personalized!
