As the fashion capital of the world, Paris is always on the frontier when it comes to fashion and trends. But did you also know that the city is also the best place to find fabulous vintage pieces? Go around the city and you will see some one-of-a-kind displays that are not just unique but affordable as well. Here are some of the best places to get vintage items in Paris:
Coiffeur Vintage
32, Rue de Rosiers
75004 Paris
A small packed store, Coiffeur Vintage will entice you with its boots and purses displays on its windows. Its vintage sweaters placed on the racks are cheap enough you would probably end up buying more than just a piece.
Fripes Star
1, Rue de la Verrerie
75004 Paris
A bigger shop compared to Coiffeur Vintage, Fripes Star features racks and racks of vintage frocks which can go as low as 10-15 Euros per piece. Because the shop is spacious, it will give you more room to move and roam around.
Free ‘P’ Star
8 rue Ste-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie
75004 Paris
If you want to get vintage purses, boots, and leather jackets, this is the place to be. You will not have a problem buying several pieces here as most items are sold inexpensively. There are also leather bags here from the 70s which you can use in casual occasions.
Wochdom
72 Rue Condorcet
75009 Paris
A small and dark shop, Wochdom may not have a lot of offerings for its customers; however, if you browse over its racks more, you will find a number of lovely offerings – from shirts to dresses to sweaters.
If you still haven’t gotten enough of your shopping, you can also head to St. Ouen Flea Market for more vintage items displays. The largest among other markets in the city, St. Ouen boasts of over 2500 dealers that sell not just vintage fashion pieces but antiques as well. With this large number of stalls, you’ll probably not be able to visit all of them in just one day.
Who says you need to get everything new in Paris? With the vintage pieces you can buy from these shops, you’ll realize how cool buying old pieces are.
