RELIQUE

25 Rue Notre Dame de Nazareth, 75003 Paris

Relique is the most uniquely designed boutique on this list. This thrift store, opened by influencer Clara Victorya, takes us back to the 70s. The clothes are all arranged by color, at very affordable prices. Men’s and women’s products are all mixed together between the ground floor and basement. The ambiance and atmosphere are very Instagrammable, as this concept is made for a younger audience. Thanks to the success of her store, Clara Victorya opened Relique Kids a few meters away, however, you will still find some children’s items in the store. 

Advantages:

• Incredible, colorful, and fun atmosphere and ambiance. 
• Affordable 
• Some handmade items

Disadvantages:

• Aimed at a younger clientele
• The first floor is nice but small
• The basement is narrow and low-ceilinged, so when there are a lot of people, it can be difficult to move around the store

Kilo Shop is an institution. As its name indicates, the concept is that you pay weight. Find your happiness, weigh it, and go to the cash register; that’s the Kilo Shop’s motto. The store is very large with many salesmen and women available to advise you. Be careful, there are no changing rooms and you can’t try anything on the spot, so think carefully before buying! 

If you are in the area, take the opportunity to discover two other addresses on the same street.

You will find a large selection of clothing, such as denim, US army jackets, leather jackets, fur items, shoes, etc, which are all well organized between the ground floor and basement.
