LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Located at 108 rue Legendre in the 17th arrondissement, Cinq Août has earned a solid reputation among Paris secondhand enthusiasts seeking something more refined than your typical thrift store. The concept is straightforward: a curated consignment shop where every piece on the rails has been carefully selected. The result is clothing, bags, and accessories in good condition, drawn from a mix of decades, without requiring hours of digging.
The atmosphere is warm and the space is well-organised — you can browse at leisure without feeling rushed. Should you wish to consign pieces, a few rules apply: mass-market brands like Zara are not accepted, and consignments must align with the current season — there's no point arriving with winter coats in February. A serious, unpretentious address that's well worth a visit if you're in the Batignolles neighbourhood.
« Si vous ne connaissez pas la signification du mot « pépites », rdv vite chez Cinq Août à la rencontre d’Anne-Lise ! En tant que déposante et acheteuse depuis plusieurs années je peux vraiment témoigner de la qualité de la sélection, de la fluidité du dépôt et de la belle personne qu’est Anne-Lise ! »
