Thanx God I'm a VIP is one of the largest vintage shops I've found in Paris - an essential one-stop shop, in the 10th. It's curated well and everything is colour-blocked. They have a great selection of pieces from the old, classic French fashion houses - you can often find Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel and Hermès, for instance - and there's a menswear section. The owner is really helpful, too. I always leave with something great, even if it's just a new belt or a gorgeous scarf.
The 9th is a great area for vintage. It's not far from Montmartre and has been up-and-coming for a while now, with a village-like feel to it. You can see a lot of the neighbourhood on the walk to Célia Darling. There's a good mix of the old fashion houses, including amazing Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent, and some unknown, more interesting pieces from the 1970s and '80s. Thanx God I'm a VIP, 12 rue de Lancry, 75010; Célia Darling, 5 rue Henri Monnier, 75009
