An address with a clear point of view.
Boutique: Shop without money (the Siga Siga) Tucked away at 2 rue Édouard Robert in the 12th arrondissement, Shop without money — also known as Siga Siga — is a solidarity-driven boutique that operates in a category of its own. The concept is straightforward: give what you no longer use, take what you need, all at a free or nominal price. You'll find a bit of everything here — unisex clothing, shoes, bags, books, crockery, games, childcare items, and even ski suits — priced anywhere from zero to three euros, sometimes one euro for five items. It's disorganised, human, and decidedly not a thrift shop in the commercial sense.
Before making the trip, one caveat: the boutique opens only on Saturdays from 2pm to 6pm, with fairly frequent unscheduled closures. If you'd like to make a donation, it's best to call ahead. The welcome varies depending on which volunteers are present, but the intention behind it all remains genuine.
