My Paris Shopping & Thrifting Guide: My Favourite Finds

Paris is a shopping dream, whether you’re into high-end fashion, handmade artisan goods, or digging through thrift racks for the perfect coat, there’s something for everyone. On my latest trip, I set out with a mission: to shop smart, support local and independent makers, and maybe snag a few standout pieces along the way. Here’s a round-up of my absolute favourite shopping spots in Paris:

La TrĆ©sorerie Magasin GĆ©nĆ©ral If you’re into cooking or kitchen design, this is your dream stop. This store is beautifully curated, carrying various French-made brands, kitchen gadgets, knives, tote bags, and more. I ended up getting a paring knife and peeler by Nogent, plus one of the store’s branded totes. Practical and cute! Website | Instagram: @latresorerie

L’Oreille PincĆ©e I stumbled across this brand at a pop-up in the Marais and instantly fell in love. They make delicate, feminine jewelry, I picked up a gold-dipped ring with tiny white flowers embedded in resin. It’s so unique and special. Highly recommend if you’re after a meaningful little souvenir. Website | Ring I got | Instagram: @loreille_pincee

Tolatoli Another pop-up find! Everything here is handmade, from jackets and vests to shoes and bags. It’s the kind of store that feels like a treasure chest. While I didn’t purchase anything, it was worth the visit just to see the craftsmanship up close. Website | Instagram: @tolatoliparis

La Boutique de Cara This vintage shop has an impressive selection of second-hand luxury pieces. If you’re looking to splurge or browse vintage Chanel and other gems, it’s definitely worth a visit. Instagram: @laboutiquedecara

Bubble Rock Studio A small but fun jewelry brand I came across, they specialize in classic pieces with a twist and everything is waterproof. Think bold rings, chunky hoops, and colourful touches. A great stop if you’re looking to add something playful to your collection. Website

Bar de Bonneterie I found this adorable brand at a pop-up in the Marais, and they specialize in scarves of all shapes and sizes. Any pattern or colour you can dream of, they’ve got it. I picked up a couple of neck scarves to really get in that Parisian style vibe. Instagram: @bar_de_bonneterie

Juliette Has A Gun If you’re a fan of perfume, this is a must-visit. I’ve loved this brand for a while, but I had never seen one of their stores, turns out, this is the only one in the world! The staff was incredibly kind and shared the whole brand story with me, and I even got a sample of their newest scent, Miami Shake. Website | Location: 2 Rue des Francs Bourgeois, 75003 Paris

Bobbies Paris This place is well-known, but it’s still worth the mention. Their store in the Marais is beautiful, and their shoes and bags are top quality. If you’re looking to treat yourself, this is the place. Website

Vintage DĆ©sir This might have been my best thrift stop in Paris. As a self-proclaimed thrifting enthusiast, I came in with a mission: find the perfect trench coat. Vintage DĆ©sir delivered, I scored a navy trench for just €20! The selection is unreal: leather, denim, fur, long coats, short jackets, you name it. I could’ve easily spent hours here. Location: 32 Rue des Rosiers, 75004 Paris

Merci Paris This is one of those stores that makes you feel cooler just by walking in. Located in the heart of the Marais, Merci is a beautifully curated concept store filled with everything from fashion and homeware to books and unique design finds. I originally stepped in just to browse and ended up wanting everything, especially their textiles and outerwear. There’s also a cozy little cafĆ© tucked at the back, perfect for a coffee break after exploring. It’s trendy, stylish, and totally worth a visit. merci-merci.com Instagram: @merciparis
