LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Located at 41 rue du Temple in the heart of the Marais, Hippy Market offers a carefully curated vintage selection across two levels — ground floor and basement — with an organisational approach that remains rare in the thrift world: clothing is arranged by colour and theme, making browsing both pleasurable and efficient. The shop stocks a strong selection of vintage jackets and jumpers for men and women, with pieces that rotate regularly. The atmosphere is welcoming without being showy, stylish without taking itself too seriously.
Hippy Market has enjoyed a long-standing and enduring reputation within Paris's thrift community: it was featured as early as 2010 in the series 'L'œil de Kenza', dedicated to the city's best vintage addresses, and was later the subject of a 'Rendez-vous à Paris' feature with actress and filmmaker Anne Depetrini in 2013 — a sign of recognition that extends well beyond the circle of dedicated hunters. If you're looking for a vintage shop in the 4th arrondissement where you can browse without feeling overwhelmed, this is an address worth keeping. Take time to venture down to the basement — that's often where the best finds are hidden.
« On s'est arrêtés pour jeter un œil aux vêtements de seconde main, surtout si vous êtes un(e) adepte de la friperie américaine. Ce n'est pas une friperie traditionnelle. Vous paierez 30, 50, voire 60 dollars par article. Considérez ça comme une boutique vintage qu'on trouve dans Chinatown à New York. Ceci dit, on a trouvé de superbes salopettes de chef de gare. Qu'on a achetées. »
