LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Vintage Inspiration Paris has established itself on rue des Dames with a clear proposition: curated high-end vintage, without the usual chaos of larger thrift stores. Located in the 17th arrondissement, far from the tourist trail, this distance is part of what makes the place so appealing. The selection centres on designer pieces — Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Balmain, Mugler, Lacoste — with a mix spanning decades, ensuring something different with each visit. Dresses, tops, characterful vintage clothing: the inventory is tightly edited, meaning every piece has been deliberately chosen.
The service is personalised and pressure-free, informed by a genuine passion for vintage fashion and pre-owned haute couture. It's the kind of address where you arrive to browse and leave with something you hadn't planned to buy. One note of caution: check opening hours before making the journey, as occasional closures do occur.
« La meilleure boutique vintage de Paris ! On y trouve des pièces incroyables à des prix abordables :)) J’y ai acheté de magnifiques Louboutin cloutés ainsi qu’un superbe ensemble Mugler. Ils ont de tout, des blazers parisiens chics à boutons dorés aux ravissantes robes d’été en passant par des bijoux rares. Impossible pour moi de visiter Paris sans faire un saut dans cette merveilleuse boutique à la recherche de trésors vestimentaires ! »
