My cool Paris second-hand stores

Absolute Vintage – Upstairs at the Lez market in Montpellier. This is where I found my lovely, green jacquard dress made from heavy silk.

Follow Alexandra Balzam Vintage on Instagram @alexandrabalzamvintage to hear about the dates of sales in her show room in Porte des Lilas. I found this incredible dress that I used for a photo shoot at Alexandra’s shop, and also these checked trousers and this “post card” shirt:

Valérie Becker: Allée 8 Stand 197. For crazy and colourful necklaces. I love these. They’re joyful, creative and unique.

“Episode – 12-16 rue Tiquetonne 75002 Paris. You can find anything here, and there’s a great selection – but you won’t necessarily find the big brands or the very special pieces you might find in the boutiques listed above.

Mad Vintage – 46 rue Saint-Denis 75001 Paris – A vintage boutique near Les Halles that has a very 1980s range of clothing. This is where Elsa found her crazy suit. The fabulous Mickey top was one I found on Vinted! “
