There is absolutely nothing like the euphoria you get when you find that one of a kind pair of Jimmy Choo's just waiting for you. What about the vintage-inspired handbag that you stumble upon at a boutique that nobody knows about. Imagine finding Chanel at half off in Paris!
Paris, France |
It's no secret that I absolutely love shopping in Paris for antiques, designer goods and vintage items. But with the dollar being so weak year after year, I decided to seek out a designer resale shop that I was told houses the likes of Chanel hangbags, Louis Vuitton totes and Hermès scarves. It's a slice of heaven hidden on a medival-like Parisian street in the wealthy 16th arrondissement called Dèpot-Vente De Passy. It's a wonderful overstock and resale shop offering great buys from top designers. Only shopping-insiders know about this little gem. You just never know what you'll find. I've discovered great gently used handbags like YSL and Louis Vuitton for a fraction of the orignal retail price. Whenever I'm in Paris... this is my first stop!
Do you have a favorite shopping spot in Paris? Would you shop for secondhand chic?

Bonjour from Paris, Marian! I'm LOVING Île-de-France...I can't sleep I'm So excited! Toured the City yesterday and had lunch at Musee del'Orangeri. Fabulous City on this my 1st Visit.
