Paris, France is known for its fashion and shopping, but what if you’re on a budget or just prefer to get your clothes in a more sustainable way? Well, don’t worry, this city is also full of thrift stores and vintage shops where you can get things that are more affordable as well as secondhand. Here are some of the coolest places to drop by.

Kilo Shop

If you’ve never been to a kilo shop before, you’ve got to give one a visit. The idea is that you pay for clothes by the weight, so you can really get quite a good bargain here. It’s great if you’re looking for deals and especially if you’re shopping for lightweight items.

Free‘P’Star

Unfortunately, a lot of Paris’ secondhand shops can run on the more expensive side, but Free‘P’Star is actually as affordable as you’d expect from a thrift store. It even has bins full of goodies you can get for only one euro, so it’s a greatly rewarding place for anybody with the disposition to dig.

Chinemachine

A bit of a more curated, boutique experience, Chinemachine features hand-picked items at different price points with a mix of luxury labels, local designers, and the best of the high street.
