Freep' Star

Today, I am going to reveal my secret to find vintage clothes at a very great price… I go to a wonderful second-hand clothing shop, called Free'p'star and located at 8 rue Sainte Croix de la Bretonnerie, and at 61 rue de la verrerie, in the Marais district.

The prices are very competitive and there is quick turn-over on the stocks. Colourful dresses from the 70’s and the 80’s, with all kinds of sleeves, all kinds of form : flounced dresses, some with spots, Chinese dresses... are around 10€. The clothes are carefully suspended on racks.

Besides dresses, you can also find shirts, blouses, pull-over, cardigan and jackets made of leather, suede or velvet. In the mezzanine, there is a great collection of hats, caps, handbags and even travel trunks. In the basement, you will find more dresses, jackets and evan some trousers.

The only problem is that the store is so successful that there is always way too much people for such a small shop. The shop front is so beautiful and a bit retro with its green woodwork. On the inside, the decoration is a bit kitsch with its wooden floor and all the small lamps. You immediately feel like you are at home!
