Hippy Market



Hippy Market is located in three hip parts of Paris  - Montmatre, Chatelet and the Marais. They have a large range of colorful items from the 60's onwards. We saw lots of denim, polyester frocks and boots.
Finding something fun and cool is easy here as everything is well organised and you don't have to rummage. Despite this, prices here are low so you can take home some shoes, a dress or a jacket and still have some change left for an apero afterwards.

Pretty Box




Pretty Box has a very hip selection of clothes and accessories that will appeal to you if you love a bit of glam in your wardrobe.


The collection is carefully put together with attention to current trends.


Given the high quality of items here and the care in selecting on-trend pieces, we think the prices are very reasonable.



They have a great collection of items from the 80's but other eras are still well represented.



Amongst all the luscious items here, we found amazing leather boots, sequence tops and devine fur coats. C'est formidable. If you are looking for something uniquely stylish then a visit to Pretty Box should be on the top on your list.

Violette and Leonie





Nestled away in the gallery end of the Marais, this chic vintage concept shop stocks a wide selection of items in very good condition. Items are carefully chosen with many from around 80's to the present. This is a welcoming boutique that is worth a visit.

Planete 70







This shop is jam packed with pieces from the 60's onwards. Prices are very reasonable and you will need to set aside some time to work you way through the densely packed racks. It's worth it; there are so many covetable items in this shop. You'll have a hard time deciding what not to buy!

Frip'irium

Spending an afternoon wandering the fashionable streets of the Marais is one of our favorite things to do in Paris. While in the area we always pop into this excellent vintage boutique. Their collection of colourful frocks from the 70's and 80's is excellent. Also, for a bit of fun on our last visit we picked up some vintage pin up girl swimwear. Allez à la plage (let's go to the beach) anyone?

Free'p'Star












With three locations in the fashionable Marais district, Free'p'Star stores are fun to visit. They are popular for good reasons; good collection, good prices and great locations.They are jam packed with vintage items from predominately the 70's and 80's. There are bargains to be found here, but you also have to compete with the crowds that pack these stores out every day.

This is a wonderfully disorganised space crammed with vintage treats and lots of other shoppers; but we think that's gotta be that's be a big part of the store's charm. We'll see you there early so we can grab the best bargains!

Hier Pour Demain






We dare you to step into the time capsule that is Heir Pour Demain and not be tempted. They stock a beautiful collection of furniture and collectibles ranging from art deco era pieces to 50's and 60's. Interior designers will love their selections of vintage fabrics. All we have to do now is work out how to get it all home!

Vintage Bar

Don't you just love it when you find a place that has everything you want ? If you are accessory junkies like us then you are going to love Vintage Bar.



This place is serious vintage accessories addict heaven. We found a mixture of good value items and some a little over priced. However, the selection is so delectable it makes this boutique really fun to visit.




This place is addictive. You have been warned.
