LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Nestled on rue de Beaune, just steps from the Saint-Germain antiques market, Renaissance operates less like a consignment shop and more like a cabinet of curiosities. The selection is carefully curated and decidedly luxury-focused: haute couture dresses from the 1960s and 80s, designer jackets bearing the signatures of Christian Lacroix and Paco Rabanne, fine jewellery and Y2K accessories that have survived the decades without showing their age. Chanel, Dior, YSL, Rick Owens, Karl Lagerfeld — the labels speak for themselves, but it's the coherence of the collection as a whole that truly impresses.
Corinne, who runs the shop, knows the history behind each piece and will guide you whether you're searching for something specific or need an genuinely original luxury gift. A practical note before making the trip: call ahead to confirm opening hours, as the boutique may be closed outside of posted times.
« J’apprécie particulièrement cette boutique de vêtements vintage de luxe de haute qualité. J’aime beaucoup la gérante, Corinne, elle a une vraie expertise dans le domaine du luxe, elle propose des pièces absolument magnifiques et que vous ne pourrez trouver nulle part ailleurs : Dior, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Hermès… et prodigue de précieux conseils. Elle ne pousse pas à la vente mais trouve les meilleures pièces pour vous et votre personnalité ! »
