Paris Shopping Tips from seamsters.net

My absolute favorite vintage shop in Paris is Anouschka on 6 Avenue du coq 75009. This place is heaving with top quality stuff from courreges to vintage shoes. It’s appointment only so you should make an appointment if you want to go (contact@anouschka.fr).Theres a retro accessoriez and jeans boutique on 72 Rue de Condorcet 75009 called Woch Dom. Really quarky and all retro stuff in immaculate condition. Bought amazing jeans here.
In St. Ouen, I think on Rue de Rosier there are the best vintage stores. stand 101 and 77 are true gems selling, well last time I went which was last year, Jean Patou, chanel etc. But I think flea markets like St.Ouen and Vanves have become to commercialised now. Everything is so overpriced its like buying stuff from Decades!
There is a really good antique ribbon shop near Opera but cant remember the name at this moment. Anyhow hope you have a nice time in Paris and bags some bargains which seems so hard these days!

My daughter lives in Paris and I visit and hunt the flea markets but the BEST places are situated in every town. Depot Ventes http://www.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=depot+vente&near=Paris,+France&sa=X&oi=local&ct=title here you will find a map of the Paris Centre depot ventes. They are places where the locals take their stuff to sell. You will be amazed at what the French don’t want.On the outskirts of Paris in the small towns they abound. Really worth a visit.St-Ouen is vast but expensive, having said that I purchased a vintage tailors dummy for a song on my last visit. Unfortunately the best flea markets are in the South of France.I visit regularly to purchase items for my Ghost Furniture range and Depot Vente has always been the best place for vintage finds. Hope this helps.

THE BEST shopping area is the Marais 3rd and 4th districts. Village St Paul has alleyways full of antique shops selling vintage laces etc there’s one in particular that sells the most amazing stuff but it is expensive though if you root around in the baskets you can find little bargains.. The Marias itself is full of little one off shops where even if you don’t find anything you get loads of ideas.Go to http://www.parismarais.com for loads of info.

Right in the area of La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre, there’s a whole bunch of fabric/trimmings/notions shops.
I go crazy everytime I’m there!!
