Visiting fashionistas eyeing the foulards and cat-eye frames of elderly French ladies are often disappointed to find that for all its haute vintage, Paris has very little thrift. Guerrisol is the exception. On some rather grimy boulevards of the 17th and 18th arrondissements, far away from the trendy boutiques of Le Marais, are three warehouse stores with enormous, constantly rotating stocks that seem to come straight from the attics of the ladies themselves. It’s the best kept vintage secret in Paris.

You’ll find leather boots, mod dresses, furs, silk scarfs, straw hats, trench coats, lace blouses and old Levis. Be warned: it is dirty, and you must dig. You’ll rummage through bins amongst old grannies, mothers with toddlers, and the occasional hipster shooting you mean, territorial looks. But the prices make up for it—3€ the blouse, 5€ the pair of shoes, 30€ the fur. Don’t miss the Oxfords and loafers at their Avenue de Clichy location.
