The Best Vintage and Thrift Shops in Paris

Come on Eileen is a treasure trove of vintage designer pieces sourced mostly from the 1960s through to the 1990s. The shop is packed with heaving rails of clothing for men, women and kids spread over three floors. Hunt for high-quality pieces and accessories from top brands like Chanel and Dior, Hermes and Yves Saint Laurent, often sold at half their original price. You can find Come on Eileen near Bastille station on Rue des Taillandiers in the trendy Marais district.

Come to Antirouille, set on Rue Gérando, for authentic vintage clothes from 1900 to 1980. Trawl the store for thrifty pieces for men, women and kids as well turn-of-the-century linens, retro sunglasses and accessories. Clothing is re-stocked weekly and often includes rare pieces such as petticoats and lace dresses, velvet jackets and Chanel shoes. Antirouille has been a staple on the Parisian vintage scene since 2010 and was launched by stylist Clémentine Goujet and textile picker Valerie Gaudez.
