Emmaüs Alternatives Turbigo
Emmaüs Alternatives Turbigo
PORTRAIT
Emmaüs Alternatives Turbigo is located on rue de Turbigo in the 3rd arrondissement, just steps away from the Arts et Métiers neighbourhood. Like all Emmaüs boutiques, the ethos is firmly rooted in community spirit and solidarity: the secondhand clothing, accessories, shoes and household linens sold here fund job insertion programmes. The stock is heterogeneous, the shelves sometimes densely packed, and the selection varies considerably from one visit to the next — which is typical of this type of address. Prices remain accessible, generally between 10 and 20 euros, though be warned: they can be adjusted at the till depending on the manager on duty that day, so it's worth asking before you queue. Opening hours are also irregular, so a quick phone call or online check before making the journey across Paris is advisable. A loyalty card is available in-store for regulars. You don't come here to hunt for designer brands or carefully curated vintage pieces, but rather to do something worthwhile while sifting through secondhand stock at gentle prices.

last yearEmmaus de centre ville (plutôt petit) mais où je fais régulièrement de belles trouvailles. Équipe sympa et enjouée. Prix un peu plus élevés que dans d’autres Emmaus mais pour des articles (notamment vêtements) de bonne qualité.
last yearLa femme responsable qui porte des lunettes (environ 50 ans) cheveux brun, est très malpolie et désagréable. Elle a décidé de augmenter le prix quand je passe la caisse parce qu’elle trouve le prix étiqueté trop bas (un t-shirt d’enfant de 1,5e, elle dit: 2,5e / un petit jouet de 3,5e , elle dit: 5,5e) Dommage que je ne peux pas mettre 0 étoile 😡
last yearTrès bon accueil, vêtements très bien rangés et mis en valeur pour avoir fait plusieurs emmaus, c'est le meilleur que j'ai fréquenté, bravo à l'équipe !
