Want to go thrift shopping in Paris? Read this guide to the best thrift shop and vintage stores in the French capital!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever since I have memory, my mom and I have been thrift shop addicts. Back when I was in high school and we were living in Florida, she’d pop her head into my room and be like, hey, so… do you wanna go… thrift shopping?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Thrift<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was sort of a bi-weekly thing, and the answer to the question was always yes. In fact, back then, I honed my skills as an expert thrift-shopper and built a sort of successful side-hustle re-selling my finds on eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think more than the actual side of buying things, I love rummaging through a million items, knowing there’s a treasure lying around somewhere that I’ll get to if I just keep digging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, back in 2016, when we found ourselves on a mother and daughter trip to Paris, we immediately knew we had to go thrift shop hunting around one of the world’s fashion capitals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“How times had changed, from the Goodwill in Florida to chic second-hand shops in Paris”<\/em> we chuckled, as Drake’s Started From the Bottom played silently in our heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting the chance to revisit all these gems was one of the many highlights of my weekend getaway to Paris, and so, I decided it was time to share with you my go-to spots for thrift shopping in Paris!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: <\/strong>Check out the best Paris photo spots<\/a> to rock your new outfits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite thrift shops in Paris:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FREE’P’STAR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If I had to choose my favorite thrift shop in Paris, it’d definitely be this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll want to allow at least an hour to visit this eccentric second-hand clothes shop perched at Rue de la Verrerie because it lacks organization and you’ll find yourself rummaging through thousands of items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Thrift<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From trendy clothes to designer names and even authentic vintage coats from the 20’s, you’ll find it all here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro tip:<\/strong> Check out the bulk of clothes in front of the left window, it’s not super advertised, but everything there is 1 euro! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll have to browse around, but I’ve scored coats and some pretty cool jackets there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust me, you won’t leave this thrift store empty-handed and, if you’re anything like me, you might get a mini heart attack while browsing around the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address: 61 Rue de la Verrerie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kilo Shop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Conveniently located right in front of FREE’P’STAR for your thrift-shopping spree pleasure, Kilo Shop is another favorite Parisian friperie<\/em> of mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Thrift<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Every clothing item comes with a color tag (red, green, blue, and orange), which signifies a price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At checkout, you’ll weigh your items and pay for the weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to get travel insurance for your trip! As always, I recommend Safety Wing<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> for great prices and coverage abroad. It starts at only $45 USD per month and will have you covered with everything you may need during your trip! Check them out here<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kilo shop is also grouped with its sister concept thrift store, Kilo Shop Kawaii, which is set in the same street and my go-to place for all things weird and wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address: 69-71 Rue de la Verrerie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
