Thanks for the list! I always thrift when I travel and this will make my upcoming trip so much fun. You can always recognize an inexperienced thrifter, especially at estate sales. They get sooooo excited and way overpay for things that you want to tell them, "Honey, they are everywhere and much cheaper than that." But as long as it makes them happy, that's all that matters.
Guerrisol, Freep'star are great though! Frishop which is also in the 18th arrondissement, is almost perfect. I found some perfect and expensive coats for 5€ each...
I live in Utrecht in the Netherlands, we have an Episode here as well :) it’s a chain vintage shop! In case you ever visit Amsterdam, there’s an Episode there as well
Regarding the expensive shops you mentioned, Maybe because those shops purchased for that price that you were expecting and they are reselling it for what it’s worth. This might be because it’s more curated pieces and boutique. It’s also probably catering to their shoppers who like thrifting but not scrounging through other thrift places and these shops have already curated for them. Assuming that’s the type of shops they are. This is coming from a vintage and thrift reseller myself. Enjoyed watching and seeing where these shops are to try and visit when I go back to Paris where I can get deals for reselling!
Oh forgot to add places that can charge cheaper is most likely because they get things donated to them. 😉 So when I resell, even though I know an item is valued for more, I will sell for less if I got a good deal on it or it was donated. In order to actually make profit you need to charge at least 3 times what you bought it for. Factoring in business expenses.
Bonjour, Arielle! I love this video. Thank you for putting this together. ❤ I’m going to Paris next week and I’m curious to know if you think these five are still great in 2024? Any other new gems you’d recommend that you didn’t mention in this video? Thank you!
Love your recommendations! I’ve been to Paris on a group tour and I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with the city and the country. Despite being paranoid about being pickpocketed, that’s anywhere you go when traveling. I will for sure come back learn the language and check out your thrift recommendations. Ps. I love your style. Keep making videos. ❤ ~Sending good vibes.✨
This is just what I was researching. So cool about the Comédie Française. I’ll definitely go there to see those items. Super unique. Question. Can you direct me anywhere in particular if I’m looking for some vintage Hermès scarves? I’m plus size so I’m assuming I won’t be purchasing any clothing though that does me me very sad.
I’m saving this one for my next trip! Can you do a video on where you would go to buy second hand furniture? Love your content and hoping your finger heals quickly!
I’ve just found you and want to say that the apartment is looking amazing. I live in Australia in Newtown NSW, which is a really buzzing Inner City suburb. ❤
Thank you so much for the tips! I will save the video to remember the places when I go to Paris. It is a shame to find pieces dirty or with holes. I love thrift stores.
Thank you so much for the video - I'm visiting Paris with my kids in the summer so making a wish list now... Could I ask what shade your lipstick is? It looks perfect!! 😍💄
Gosh! I wish I had this information before I went to Paris in January. At least I didn't have my phone stolen! Can't wait to return! Thank you for your continued inspiration! ox
Wow, I’m in NY, and you’d never find worn out, dirty, stained, tattered old clothes like that in one of our thrift shops. I find excellent quality new or almost new, often with the tags still on the items. And the prices are great. Those first photos you showed were like something you’d dig out of a garbage can.
As someone who live in NY, I never have that thrifting experience, the always have horrible stuff even though it’s not stained or anything the price is horrible
Adding Bis Boutique Solidaire (there are a few in Paris) - the clothes are in great condition and classified by colour :) Ding Fring (also a few locations) isn't bad either, it's part of the Emmaüs/Le Relais network - it's a bit more hit or miss, but then all thrift shops are... Something to note is that Ding Fring tends to have larger sizes. Agree with Guerrisol, I find it downright depressing - dark, dusty, smelly and everything looks old and trashed
Most valuable thrifting in Paris video by far, thank you!

Thank you for sharing this…I’m in Paris right now and this is sooo helpful 👍
I’m going to Paris in July with my daughter and we’ll be using these tips to thrift. Thank you!
So glad the video will be useful ! I hope you enjoy ! 😊
Hey, I'll also be visiting Paris alone and for the first time in July. Would also shop from these places.
Oh my gosh the old costumes is such an amazing idea ❤❤🎉

Thank you. I will check these places out the next time I'm in Paris.

The video is amazing! Thank you so much ❤❤
In south Florida you can buy new better quality goods then used???
Love your excitement and enthusiasm. 😊
I am on the larger end, 12-14 us size. Of the five, which one would you recommend? Great video.
Ditto for this question-any shops that have items for larger sizes that you have seen?
Thank you so much for the tips! I will save the video to remember the places when I go to Paris. It is a shame to find pieces dirty or with holes. I love thrift stores.

What do you think of the Marche des Pouces?

Hi! Where do you usually thrift in NY?
So where do you thrift in NY? Please share.
Unfortunately from what I’ve experienced these days, curated vintage store prices are extremely premium £100 and up
Episode is also very big in the Netherlands if you ever want to shop there as well
Adding Bis Boutique Solidaire (there are a few in Paris) - the clothes are in great condition and classified by colour :)
Ding Fring (also a few locations) isn't bad either, it's part of the Emmaüs/Le Relais network - it's a bit more hit or miss, but then all thrift shops are... Something to note is that Ding Fring tends to have larger sizes.

Wondering if anyone has been to Chinemachine on Rue des Martyrs - that one is closer to me - or should I make the trek over to the 10th?
I would like tips on thrift shops for furnitures or things
Fun, was looking for more home thrifting like art, books and the like.
I clicked so fast!
