LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Rue Daguerre, nestled between the market and the fromagerie, Le Repaire des Filles occupies a modest storefront that deserves a second glance. The consignment shop is densely packed—almost intimidating at first sight—but therein lies its appeal: the pieces here must be earned. You'll find a broad mix spanning decades: vintage dresses, structured coats, patinated leather bags, characterful hats, and above all, a remarkable selection of vintage jewellery and earrings that alone justify the visit.
Pieces by Nina Ricci have circulated through these shelves, which speaks to the calibre of curation. The boutique is small and the organisation may appear haphazard, but the owner knows precisely what she has—don't hesitate to describe what you're looking for. One practical note: the phone rarely gets answered; it's best to visit in person.
« Des pièces hors de prix, et quand on regarde la marque, c’est du H&M… alors que la vendeuse nous assurait et se ventait, deux minutes auparavant, qu’elle ne sélectionnait que des articles de marque et de qualité… En plus de ça, l’accueil est glacial et, lorsque nous décidons de quitter la petite boutique exiguë, elle s’énerve et commence à embrouiller ma copine ???? (au vu des avis laissés je crois comprendre pourquoi elle était si désagréable avec mon amie qui est noire) »
