LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Tucked away on rue des Archives in the 4th arrondissement, La Compagnie Des Hommes has built a quiet but solid reputation as Paris's premier destination for high-end men's consignment. The boutique stakes its claim on a carefully curated selection of luxury menswear—suits, designer pieces, accessories—with regular stock from the likes of Balmain, Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana and Givenchy. The concept is straightforward: branded pieces, preferably recent, presented in a setting that makes no apologies for its luxury positioning. Expect a certain density on the rails—you'll need to dig, take your time, and have a discerning eye.
The staff know what they want and are uncompromising about the quality of pieces accepted for consignment, which ultimately guarantees the calibre of the selection. Before making the trip, a quick call or check of opening hours is advisable; online information isn't always current. An address for serious collectors of vintage and luxury menswear who know exactly what they're after.
« J'ai visité cette boutique lors de mon voyage à Paris et j'ai été bluffé par leur sélection de vêtements masculins haut de gamme contemporains. On y trouve beaucoup de pièces de Decarnin, Balmain, Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana des années 2000 et Givenchy. Les propriétaires étaient très sympathiques et m'ont même laissé essayer quelques vêtements. J'ai finalement craqué pour cette veste Dolce & Gabbana à un prix imbattable ! J'y retournerai sans hésiter lors de mon prochain séjour à Paris. »
