LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Tucked away at 43 rue des Dames in the 17th arrondissement, Miss Sugar Cane is one of those Parisian vintage boutiques where curation is everything. There is no haphazard piling here: Marine, the owner, hunts and selects with a discerning eye, and it shows. You'll find carefully chosen vintage clothing from the 1950s, 70s and 80s, characterful vintage jewellery, shoes and accessories with a story to tell — and occasionally, a piece signed Yves Saint Laurent that sits there as though it were nothing special. The welcome is genuinely warm, without pressure, and Marine takes time to guide you, offer advice, and share the history of a piece.
It's precisely what's missing in the large anonymous thrift stores. Whether you're hunting for a vintage dress for a specific occasion or browsing without a fixed idea, you'll rarely leave empty-handed. An address that clearly deserves a detour in the Batignolles neighbourhood.
« Pépite aux Batignolles à la sélection pointue et minutieuse réalisée par Marine. Ici vous dénicherez des trésors vintage à prix doux...et les garderez précieusement. J'ai eu la chance de tomber sur des pièces d'exception année 80, 90. Du Mugler, du Dior, du Montana..., des t-shirts Vintage dingues sur lesquels il faut sauter car ils disparaissent vite. Marine est douce, à l'écoute et est un Bible de la Mode, la vraie. Vous passerez un formidable moment. »
