LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Emmaüs La Friperie Solidaire, located on rue Chaligny in the 12th arrondissement, is the kind of address you recommend without hesitation when someone is looking for an accessible, well-organized thrift shop in Paris. The space is warm and welcoming, the racks are carefully maintained, and you can navigate it with ease — which is not always the case in solidarity-driven thrift stores. The selection spans adult and children's clothing priced between 5 and 20 euros, alongside homeware, toys, and even yarn for knitters.
What truly sets the boutique apart is its line of upcycled denim handbags, crafted on-site as part of a creative reuse initiative. One practical note worth keeping in mind: one of the two fitting rooms may be unavailable depending on the day, so it's best to wear easy-to-remove clothing when trying things on.
« Accueil très chaleureux. La boutique est très agréable et parfaitement organisée. Les vêtements sont bien rangés et les prix sont on ne peut plus satisfaisants considérant le caractère spécifique de cet établissement . Un grand merci à tous. »
