Touted as a fashion capital of the world, Paris is practically a vintage haven – from archival collections to friperies, every arrondissement offers its own cornucopia of pre-loved fashion.
1. Chez Snow Bunny
Tucked away in the heart of Le Marais lies Chez Snow Bunny. What started off as a small shop has now expanded to two floors housing gorgeous vintage pieces. This is the perfect store for the girls who love y2k and statement pieces – hues of aquamarine and hot pink are not at a shortage here. Chez Snow Bunny’s collection is an eclectic mix of dramatic fur coats, pretty little kitten heels and oversized sunglasses. What’s more, it has the supermodel stamp of approval from Bella Hadid and Gabriette.

2. Predilection
With an ideal location on Paris’s vintage yellow brick road, Rue de Turenne, Predilection has a curated collection of eye-catching 90s and 00s pieces. There is definitely a slightly grungier feel as you step into the shop, as you sift through racks of Vivienne Westwood, Mugler and Jean-Paul Gaultier.

3. Bobby
With three locations across Paris, Bobby operates on a strict no fast-fashion policy, championing a more conscious approach to second-hand shopping. The consignment store specialises in vintage pieces from the 90s, 2000s and 2010s contributions, with sellers receiving 50% of the profit. Should the item not sell within two months, the owner can retrieve the items. Thanks to its carefully curated mix of brands, styles and eras, Bobby offers something for every shopper.

4. Nuovo
The brand, synonymous with it-girl status, has a fun range of vintage designer and own-line pieces crafted from deadstock fabric. Founded by Franco-Italian stylist and designer, Lisa Lingenti, the team at NUOVO have a trained eye for curation as well as bringing forgotten brands to the fore. The team have also brought their collection abroad, doing pop-ups in London and New York.

5. Entremains
What started as an online shop migrated to its physical home on Rue des Blancs Manteaux. Owner Camille handpicks each item and the shop has a monthly drop of new vintage pieces, meaning the collection is lovingly curated. The shop itself is beautifully laid out, so you don’t need to worry about feeling overwhelmed by overly saturated racks.
