The 5 best vintage shops in Paris
Paris, the city of romance and fashion, is home to an abundance of vintage shops just waiting to be explored. But where do you begin? In this blog post, I'll share my favorite shops I've discovered in Paris over the past two years.
Here are the five best vintage shops in Paris. The ideal spots to discover unique vintage gems.
Free'p'Star
With several locations throughout the city, Free'p'Star is a treasure hunter's paradise. This store is known for its eclectic selection, ranging from retro to bohemian. My personal favorite is the one on the corner of Rue Saint-Bon and Rue de la Verrerie; don't miss the basement there either.
And if you still can't find what you're looking for there, there are no fewer than four other locations on Rue de la Verrerie, as well as Vintage by Ramin and three kiloshops. Vintage lovers will truly be in their element on this street.
13 Rue Saint-Bon, Rue de la Verrerie, 75004
Metro - City Hotel
Chine machine
In the heart of Montmartre, you'll find this fantastic vintage shop. They operate on a buy-sell-trade basis, offering a rapidly changing selection. From designer pieces and timeless basics to iconic vintage gems from every era. Whatever your style, Chinemachine has it all.
100 Rue des Martyrs, 75018
Metro - Abesses
P.S. If you're up for a stroll along one of Paris's most charming streets, get off at the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette metro stop and follow Rue des Martyrs uphill. At the very end, you'll find Chinemachine. Afterwards, stop at Maison Millie for coffee or lunch before continuing the uphill walk toward the Sacré Coeur.
BIS Boutique Solidarity
A secondhand shop where all proceeds go to charity. At BIS Boutique Solidaire, you'll find a good mix of vintage and modern secondhand clothing. There are no fewer than five locations throughout the city, and they always have a good selection and great prices!
7 Boulevard du Temple, 75003
Metro - Filles du Calvaire
Vintage Desir
In the coziest street of Le Marais, housed in a former barbershop, you'll find Vintage Désir . This small shop is quite packed, but believe me, it's definitely worth browsing the racks. With a little searching, you can find beautiful items here, from elegant dresses and rugged leather jackets to top-quality wool blazers. And if all that treasure hunting has worked up an appetite, you can score the best falafel in Paris just down the street at L'As du Fallafel .
32 Rue des Rosiers, 75004
Metro - Saint-Paul
Tucked Friperie
A little outside the center of Paris, but definitely worth the detour, is Tu c ked Friperie . A true vintage boutique with a carefully curated collection of vintage gems. Prices are a bit higher than at places like Vintage Désir or Free'p'Star, but all the items are of excellent quality, and you'll also find designer pieces at a relatively low price.
For example, combine it with a visit to Bois de Vincennes, and you will also pass Untucked , owned by the same owner.
80 Rue Claude Decean, 75012
Metro - Daumesnil
Whether you're looking for that perfect outfit for a special occasion or simply want to browse and discover hidden gems, Paris has vintage shops to suit all your needs. Take your time and enjoy the treasure hunt in this enchanting city full of style and history. Happy shopping!
