LE PORTRAIT

An address with a clear point of view.

On Rue Nollet in the 17th arrondissement, Chez Amar holds a singular place in Paris's secondhand landscape. The shop is devoted exclusively to menswear, with a tightly curated selection centred on suits, jackets and shoes — considered pieces rather than volume. You'll find serious labels, Holland & Sherry among them, interspersed with finds spanning different decades, clearly unearthed by an owner with a discerning eye. But what truly sets the address apart is the experience itself: Amar talks, questions and advises with a humour that unsettles at first and convinces thereafter. It's not uncommon for fittings to spill onto the pavement, whether from lack of space or pure theatricality — hard to say.

This is not a shop for silent browsing. This is a shop where you'll find yourself discussing cut, fabric and provenance with someone who genuinely knows what he's doing. Fripmap Score 8.8/10.

« Un vrai plaisir de découvrir cet endroit plein de pièces de très belle qualité. C’est la caverne « d’Ammar Baba » ! J’ai pu dénicher un Loden magnifique et une veste en tissu Holland & Sherry, avec, en cadeau une cravate en tricot marine. Ammar le maître des lieux et des plus sympathiques mais, en plus il a l’œil pour dénicher des choses qui conviennent et prend son temps et puis, c’est un vrai plaisir de discuter avec quelqu’un qui a le goût et la connaissance du beau vêtement. C’est un vrai professionnel et un homme chaleureux, que demander de plus ! »
