Plan your vintage shopping in Paris with guides to second-hand clothing stores and luxury resale boutiques, including addresses, opening hours and price examples.
Hippy Market Le Marais is a vintage clothing shop at 41 rue du Temple, rather than an outdoor market. It can form part of an afternoon walk around neighbouring shops. Pay particular attention to its later opening hours on Mondays and Sundays.
Free’p’star Paris is an option for everyday vintage clothing and browsing second-hand racks. It should not be treated as a substitute for every kind of luxury resale shop. Choose a particular branch before adding it to a Marais shopping walk, and allow time to try things on.
Valois Vintage is at 8 rue des Saussaies in Paris’s 8th arrondissement. If you are looking for a second-hand designer jacket, begin with a specific listing and contact the shop. Establishing the brand, measurements and budget in advance makes a visit more focused.
Rose Market Vintage, at 19 rue Milton in Paris, brings vintage clothing, scarves and accessories together in one shop. Its own presentation emphasises clothing from earlier decades and distinctive design details. Decide which category interests you before visiting.
Buying second-hand luxury clothing in Paris starts with a distinction: are you looking for designer pieces to wear regularly, or collecting a particular period or collection? Everyday purchases depend on fit and cost per wear; collectors also need information about provenance, design and scarcity.
