LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Tucked away on rue du Cardinal Lemoine in the 5th arrondissement, Initiales Bonnie is the kind of address you guard jealously before eventually sharing it with everyone. The shop blends vintage clothing, curated tableware, antiquarian books and decorative objects in a warm, poetic space where every corner holds a surprise. What truly sets the place apart is the upcycling work done on-site: reworked jackets and other pieces, personalised and transformed into singular objects. It's particularly recommended for finding a gift that breaks the mould — or for treating yourself to something beyond the obvious.
The insider's tip: take your time digging, lifting, turning things over. The best finds don't reveal themselves at first glance. With a 5/5 Google rating and a Fripmap score of 9.5, the shop has clearly won over far more than just the neighbourhood.
« Le propriétaire est extrêmement accueillant, compétent et serviable. La boutique propose un mélange attrayant et éclectique d'articles vintage et de créations originales d'artistes talentueux. Notre seul regret est de l'avoir découverte la veille de notre départ. Malgré cela, nous y avons trouvé de très belles pièces et nous y retournerons sans hésiter lors de notre prochain passage en ville. Allez-y faire un tour ! »
