Thrift Shopping in Paris

Paris is known for its romantic vibes and the beaufitul Eiffel Tower among many other great things. One thing to add to that list is the thrift shops, known as les friperies in France. Whether you’re an experienced thrifter or simply looking for fun—you’re sure to find something in the second-hand shops of Paris.

Thrifting in Paris is like most places: there’s the hip, more expensive shops where you’re sure to find drip easily, but at a cost, and there’s the less-touristy, but find the blazer of your dreams for only 5€, places. Whatever type of shop is your vibe, you’ll have a good time and get lucky!

If you find yourself in Paris and want a good thrifting run, pop these shops in your GPS and don’t forget your reusable bags!

4 Thrift Shops in Paris

Cost-friendly, but you have to dig

Guerisol Stores

Guerisol is a super-affordable spot located across Paris. Of the shops mentioned here, this was the one I found things worth bringing home. I scored a cute sweater (made in Italy) and a fly blazer (made in France) from two separate locations—both only 5€ each. They have different shops, some separated by Mens and Womens sections, so be mindful when choosing locations. While they have great prices, they’ve got a lot of clothes that you might find yourself sifting through. Some of the shops are packed with tons of clothes while others are bit more spacious.

Free ‘P’ Star

Free ‘P’ Star is an affordable shop as well with multiple locations. They are packed tight and small so be prepared to push past people. This is a more popular spot too, so lots of people but lots of swag. These shops are clustered together, so if you go to one you should see another a few feet away–be on the lookout!

More expensive, less digging

Hippy Market

Hippy Market is so cute and fun! This is a more curated shop so you’re sure to find lots of fly, good quality items. I scored a sexy cami here for 12€ and my partner and I both found shades for 20€ each (that’s pricey to me, but the people there were so nice we couldn’t help it). The employees here are super friendly and polite, making the shopping experience even better. Though there’s lots of clothes, there’s plenty of space here so run wild. Don’t forget to check downstairs!

Kilo shops

The kilo shops are fun and eclectic. Here, they weigh your items for pricing. It’s a little confusing because the cost per kilogram is differs by the items sticker color. Not all items are priced by weight either, so you have to pay attention. These shops definitely have the most variety and are the places where you’re sure to find something if it’s in your budget. There are multiple kilo shops all within walking distance from each other so if you don’t find something in one, try the next one!
