Hi!
I am looking for stores in Paris that sell vintage or second-hand clothing. I am looking for affordable vintage-clothes, not vintage "haute-couture".
Can anyone help me? (Please tell me the adress also). Thank you!

Several are listed here. Under business type, enter second hand clothes. Note that the last letter[s] of the postal code indicate the arrondissment.

It's been a couple of years since I was there but there is/was a vintage clothing shop in the Palais Royal. It is on the left side when entering from Rue de Rivoli.

Even if the goods are out of your price range there are many other interesting shops and the Palais Royal is worth a visit for the fountains and the garden.

"Enter vêtements discount, stock, dégriffés"

I thought stock and degriffe reffered to new items sold at a discount or with no labels.....is that also the term for vintage? And what is Bricolage? Thanks!

You're right - that was just the heading on pagesjaunes that came closest. Used clothing would be "vêtements d'occasion" but there was no heading like that.

Bricolage is odd jobs around the house, like "do-it-yourself."

Thanks, Toupary!! Now, can you tell me the word for "vintage" furniture and odds and ends.....could it be something like Brocante?

Réciproque is very well known, although it tends to sell second-hand upscale clothing, not everyday stuff.

Brocante is second-hand stuff that's not quite elevated to the "antiquité" category yet.

Thanks, St. Cirq. You are always so very helpful.

There are several stores (I think one is women's clothing, one men's, kids, and home stuff) on rue du Cherche-Midi called Chercheminippes that have second-hand clothing.
