Flea Markets

Marche aux puces de Vanves- The flea market for any true flea marketer. This market takes place EVERY Saturday and Sunday of the year, holidays included, rain or shine. With its 380 merchants, you are sure to find a treasure or two, or three... Take the Metro to Port aux Vanves or take an uber (Its a bit of a drive). Grab a croissant when you arrive and un cafe from the truck midway through. Happy hunting! 

Les Puces de Saint-Ouen - This market has many layers and areas to explore and discover. Open Saturday, Sunday AND Monday year round (slightly slower during the summer season). The Saint-Ouen Flea Market is the largest concentration of antique and second-hand goods dealers in the world. Some areas are covered, and others are open-air markets, every one of them overflows with treasures. If this is your first visit, we suggest starting at Marche Vernaison (see map in link) to gain your bearings. Give yourself plenty of time to explore and don't forget to stop for a baguette sandwich and glass of Rose (or two).  

Clothes

Kiliwatch - With a great mix of vintage and new clothing this is always a must shop for us.  New designers and a great selection of new denim can be found in the front. Moving toward the back of the long store you will find the vintage gems. Levis and American Band tees live comfortably next to vintage French work jackets. If the weather isn't behaving or your airline lost your luggage Kiliwatch is a good place to start. 

APC Surplus - In Paris they have one sale a year, miss it and you have to pay full price until next time. Thats why we love APC Surplus. With a mens shop on the left and women's on the right they feature APC duds at crazy discounts year round. At 50% off you may need to buy an extra suitcase to get home. 

Thanx God I'm a VIP- Holy colorful vintage heaven! This place is crazy. Imagine a place, organized in perfect color coordination, filled with gorgeous vintage designer wears, and you will find your self here. The Mens section is equally as impressive as the women. Don't go hungry because you will need some stamina to do this place justice. 

Pretty Box - If you are on the hunt for unique vintage inspiration look no further. Pretty Box is tiny but mighty. Curated with one of a kind pieces this shop is an adventure in design. Frequented by designers, models and high end collectors this is a spot for the serious shopper.
