LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Bambini'troc is the address whispered among parents in the 12th arrondissement who want to dress their children without breaking the bank. This consignment shop on Avenue du Bel Air casts a wide net: baby and children's clothing from newborn to 12 years old, maternity wear, shoes, toys, children's books, childcare items and even children's ski equipment. The stock is substantial and refreshed daily, with brands that are worth the trip — Jacadi, Petit Bateau, Bonpoint, Bobo Choses, Stella McCartney Kids and Louis Louise sit alongside reliable names like Nike, Converse and Décathlon.
Prices hover around 10 to 15 euros, which changes everything when you consider how quickly children grow. To consign items, it's best to call ahead; consignments are accepted Tuesday to Saturday by appointment. And to find that rare gem, regular visits are your best bet — here, patience is always rewarded.
