LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Boutique: La Textilerie: Textile Recycling Centre, Vintage Shop and Sewing Classes Located on rue du Château Landon in the 10th arrondissement, La Textilerie is a textile recycling centre that wears several hats at once: affordable vintage shop, clothing collection point, and sewing workshop. Stock rotates regularly and spans a broad range — vintage dresses, coats, blouses, trousers, hats and accessories for both women and men, all priced between 5 and 25 euros. What truly sets this address apart is its solidarity-driven and educational model: donated clothing is given new value on site, and sewing classes allow pieces to have extended lives rather than end up in landfill. For real bargains, keep an eye out for the occasional "everything 5 euros" sales held in-store — they sell out quickly. A citizen reuse space complements the offering for those wanting to go beyond simple shopping.
La Textilerie also offers textile repair services, notably for restoring ripped or damaged jeans, as shown in a video published in April 2025 on Célia Karenine's YouTube channel. The space was founded by Elsa, a former digital marketing professional turned entrepreneur, who created this unique venue based on the conviction that textiles deserve as structured a reuse sector as other materials — a journey documented in the podcast "Oser la reconversion" in September 2022. La Textilerie has also collaborated with institutional and commercial partners, including IKEA and Semaest (the mixed-economy company for economic development in Seine-Saint-Denis), testament to recognition that extends well beyond Paris's vintage shop circles. A coherent address through and through, without pretence.
« Lieu de seconde main très agréable et jolie ! Le personnel est agréable et la sélection de vêtements est bien choisie. Les prix sont raisonnables ! »
