All foreigners can claim a 10% discount, you can print off a coupon for this from their website: www.departmentstoreparis.printemps.com and show your passport, or you can use the coupon at the back of the tourist maps.
If you are non-European then you can claim back most of the sales tax, (which can be as high as 19.5%). But you have to spend more than 175 euros in one transaction, then find the service desk to fill in the necessary forms, which you then have to take to an office at the airport. But if designers labels are what you want this extra discount is certainly worth applying for.
