An address with a clear point of view.
Dépôt 22 sits discreetly at 22 rue de la Tour, in the 16th arrondissement—a neighbourhood not typically associated with thrift shopping. The concept is that of a curated consignment boutique: unisex clothing, a mix of carefully selected vintage pieces and premium references, with no imposed decade logic. What strikes you upon entering is the absence of price tags—here, each item is negotiated directly with the owner, which gives the visit a rhythm quite different from conventional thrift stores.
You'll need to be comfortable conversing in French or English with her. Another practical detail worth knowing: the boutique serves as a Colis Privé relay point, but does not accept DHL parcels, contrary to what some websites may suggest. You come here to browse unhurriedly, with the understanding that a good piece can surface if you take the time to ask.
« Une boutique magnifique, regorgeant de pépites. La propriétaire était adorable et m'a aidée à trouver un chapeau pour les courses et un pantalon Armani. Un mélange parfait de vêtements de luxe à des prix raisonnables, bien plus intéressants que dans la plupart des boutiques vintage parisiennes ! »
