The Best Vintage Stores in Paris (2024)

Vogue’s guide to the best vintage stores in Paris is part of our directory of the very best vintage around the world, curated by editors from all over. Whether you’re traveling and searching for some superb stores to visit on your trip or are curious about your local vintage treasure chests, Vogue’s directory has you covered.

If there’s a place on earth to shop for clothes, it’s Paris. And while the city is known for its designer boutiques and grands magasins, its secondhand scene is second to none. From depôts-vents, where the city’s chicest women offload designer pieces from recent seasons, to thrift-shopping troves with finds from Y2K and earlier, the city is a vintage treasure-hunter’s dream.

That said, the Paris vintage scene is constantly evolving—so we’ve done the legwork and rounded up the best vintage in Paris, curated with the help of our editors at Vogue Paris.

Thanx God I’m a V.I.P.

Don’t let its hilarious name fool you; this is one serious vintage store. Though it’s a trio of stores, technically—there are two for women and one for kids/homewares. The main women’s store is laid out like a horseshoe with endlessly and uniformly spaced clothing on neat display. It’s all curated by owner Sylvie Chateigner, who has methodically merchandised the store by color. Decades (things go as far back as the 1940s) intermingle—you’ll find ’70s Rive Gauche next to an ’80s Alaïa body-con dress.

Address: 12 Rue de Lancry, 75010 Paris

Didier Ludot

The New York Times recently profiled Didier Ludot in a piece titled “The Man Who All But Created Vintage Fashion,” so any list of vintage without his boutique, located in the Palais Royale is sorely incomplete. A Parisian institution, the store opened 50 years ago with historically significant fashion and one-of-a-kind pieces from couture’s golden age. Fiercely passionate about his finds, Ludot prefers to buy his finds outright—this is no vintage consignment shop, it’s the next best thing to a fashion museum.

Address: 24 Gal de Montpensier, 75001 Paris

Skat Vintage

Skat, which translates to treasure or darling in Danish, is a recent addition in the southern part of the Marais. Founded by the couple Agnès Salto, who is Danish, and Mathias de Cevins, who is French, this boutique reflects their shared passion for curated high-end fashion from the pre-’90s era. The Scandinavian influence, the owners, and Skat (the house dog) make this the city’s most serene second-hand shopping destination.

Address: 25 Rue Saint-Paul, 75004 Paris

Takk Paris

“Takk is the perfect balance between doing good for the planet and doing good for yourself,” says Marion, the founder of this influencer-beloved store. The team emphasizes meticulous care in showcasing the clothes, choosing clean, perfectly conditioned pieces that are less than five years old. They introduce new items every week, so the racks will never feel picked over.

Address: 11 Rue Oberkampf, 75011 Paris

Palace Callas

After her grandmother introduced her to the universe of Maria Callas at the age of six, owner Florence became obsessed with divas, and delved deep into researching fashion from the ’50s through the ’90s. Over the years, she passed on this passion to her daughter, Alyx, and together, they created a small high-end vintage haven in the heart of the Marais. Today, Palace Callas has shifted its focus to the “new divas”—the “CEO moms” and “city girls,” Florence calls them, and you can sense a strong Sex and the City and Gossip Girl influence, with bold pieces that make a statement even in an iPhone image.

Address: 16 Rue du Pont Louis-Philippe, 75004 Paris

Palettist Vintage

The selection at this Marais shop ranges from the ’70s to the 2000s, designer to unmarked. While it has its fair share of bold pieces, including jewelry, it’s also a great source of more classic wardrobe staples.

Address: 15 Rue Debelleyme, 75003 Paris

Open Dressing

Open Dressing is a haven for trend-hunters seeking newer pieces from brands such as Coperni, Khaite, and Jacquemus, as well as those with a soft spot for more retro vintage pieces. Alexia, the owner of the boutique and a devoted fan of Saint Laurent with a penchant for both the ’70s and ’90s, offers a range of classics, including ’80s lingerie dresses from Dior and jackets and shirts from Céline originating in the ’70s.

Address: 63 Rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris

La Frange à l’envers

The project of two sisters, this is currently the largest second-hand store in Paris. It has a strong French touch with a wide range of designer brands in several price ranges. Everything is in perfect condition, fairly priced, and produced within the past three years. It’s an ideal spot to buy secondhand without the “vintage” vibe.

Address: 81 Rue Saint-Maur, 75011 Paris

Predilection

Predilection’s mission is to help you find that one-of-a-kind, standout piece in your wardrobe. The intimate Marais shop boasts gems like a transparent vinyl Comme des Garçons trench and a Jean-Paul Gaultier striped dress with oversized hood, and also creates its own collections and collaborations with local designers, all made from upcycled material.

Address: 112 Rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris

Bobby

Bobby is one of the most popular addresses for second-hand shopping in Paris, and rightfully so. The store recently opened a second location in the 3rd arrondissem*nt of the city, with a large selection of pre-loved fashion items. They have a strict no-fast-fashion rule, and are your best bet if you’re looking for premium or luxury brands from the more recent collections. The feel is more crowd-pleasing than arty, so there’s truly something for everyone here.

Address: first location - 89 Rue Réaumur, 75002 Paris
Address: second location - 168 Rue du Temple, 75003 Paris

Iregular

While second-hand shops are inherently unique, Iregular’s more streamlined, sober aesthetic stands out in the jumble. The owner’s former career as freelance stylist has allowed him to get his hands on some treasures. From Anne-Marie Beretta to Phoebe Philo’s Celine, the selection combines retro and modern, always with a touch of humor.

Address: first location - 16 rue Victor masse 75009 Paris
Address: second location - 60 rue de Dunkerque 75009 Paris

The Parisian Vintage

Everything at The Parisian Vintage is in perfect harmony: the clothes, accessories, and even the furniture. The selection skews toward the timeless and the high-end, with a particularly strong assortment of designer outerwear and leather pieces.

Address: 20 rue Saint-Claude 75003
