Kilo Shop Paris – Inexpensive Fashion Finds For The Aspiring Fashionista

You can never be wrong with rummaging vintage clothes this Christmas because even high street stores are copying their fashion styles in the hope to out win competitors. Then again, there is no greater feeling when somebody approaches and says, “Where did you get that piece?” or when people thing that what you are wearing is too expensive for them to bear. And yes, I know you will probably smile away with a thought, “You will be surprised how much I paid for it,” and probably throw an imaginary wink on your mind.

If you think it is hard, think again. What is hard is when you cannot get enough time to make a round trip given that every shelf is full of fabulous finds. Believe me, it is never exaggerated when I say, that you can actually spend half a day finding great deals for your money when you kilo shop in Paris.

Maximize Your Spend This Season & Kilo Shop In Paris

The pioneer of second-hand clothing opened a new temple of vintage fashion in the heart of the Reìpublique district in the 10th arrondissement.

The store is 700 square meters and fun and colorful with metal and recycled wood furniture and a green ceiling.

Kilo Shop has an “eco-friendly atmosphere, with a background of 80’s music”.

To welcome customers, a team of 10 sales consultants is available and no less than 7 scales have been placed in the space to indicate the price of each garment and accessory. This is a response to a growing demand from the younger generation who are increasingly turning to second-hand clothing. The pandemic has made attraction for second hand even stronger and the desire to adopt a responsible behavior.

Faced with the success of the second hand market, Kilo Shop’s ambition is to reach 40 stores in France and abroad by 2025. In France, Kilo Shop is present in the cities of Paris, Rennes, Nantes, Brest, Angers, Lille, Nice, Tours and Le Mans.

This yuletide season, Vintage Kilo shops have a lot to offer and my suggestion would be to visit the shop and experience it’s uniqueness for yourself.

What Does Kilo Shopping In Paris Actually Mean?

Best kilo shop parisThe concept of Vintage Kilo shops is the same as buying your fruits and vegetables. You pay for their weight, not their value. You can buy one item or fifty or a hundred, it is all up to you. Once you have picked your new treasure, try them on, then take them to their weighing scale, and viola you have new clothes to strut off the aisle.

Take note, however, that some Vintage Kilo shops in Paris will ask that you pay an entrance fee before you can grab their kilo bags, whereas others will let you get to work immediately, such as the Kilo Shop, the biggest vintage store in Paris, with 6 stores located at various sites throughout Central Paris and Le Marais.

What is good about this shop is that the price per kilo depends on the color pick of your clothes. You get to pay 30 € /per kilo for white and black colors where as 20 € /per kilo is for pastille and rouge.

What Can You Get For A Kilo When You Shop In Paris?

The big question is how many can you get for your kilo? Well, you will be surprised to know that your kilo can get you the following:

  • Six blouses of tees and shirts
  • twenty scarves
  • four dresses
  • one winter coat or three cardigans
  • three to four fashionable hats
  • and ten to twenty fabulous find accessories

Now, don’t you think that is more than enough value for your 20-30 € hard earned money?

5 Expert Shopping Tips To Save You Time When Sifting (And Still Leave With Amazing Parisian Finds!)

Here are my top 5 tips when you kilo shop in Paris so you to get your best buys in half an hour or less:

  1. Before you get in, have a list in mind of what items to buy – Immediately direct yourself to one particular shelf and focus there for your finds. If you spend time wandering without a specific item in mind, you will end up roaming the entire time and leave you empty handed.
  2. Do not be afraid to fight off groups of hipsters and bag great pieces. – Believe me, if you shy away, you will be left behind with nothing or pieces that others already have considered un-wearable.
  3. Mix and Match – variety is the key. Think of pieces that you can match with your old wardrobes, or pieces that would add new flare and look to them.
  4. Look for quality – remember these vintage pieces has gone through time, which means they have better durability than what the current market is offering. But, make sure that your new treasure is free from wear and tear, stains, and discoloration.
  5. Find Investments– Make sure that your pieces are fluxed with style and quality that can transcend another five to ten years.

To top it all, simply have fun while Christmas shopping and run away with your bags after with a big smile.

"Often, when I go out with the intention of buying new clothes, I end up wandering around for hours and not finding anything I really love. Because my time in Paris was limited, I wanted to make the best use of what little opportunity I had for shopping. Enter Linda, who-in just 3 hours-helped me select a range of gorgeous new clothes and accessories, I love absolutely everything I bought. My time with her was an absolute joy: she is very relaxed and easy to chat with, and she really listens to your opinions and steers you towards the things you will like. If only all shopping was this easy!"

"We had such a productive two hours with Linda! My daughter is very petite for her age (14 years old, almost 5'2" and 90 lbs). It is hard for her to find clothes in styles popular in her age group and I was worried that our Paris shopping would be frustrating. I am so glad we booked Linda! We sent her some samples of styles my daughter liked as well as the types of items we were interested in purchasing. Linda mapped out stores and actual items in advance. And she was good at identifying potential options on the fly too. In two hours we got a dress, two pairs of jeans, some slides and two tops that my daughter loves! In every store Linda would quickly ask the salespeople for the smallest sizes and then my daughter would quickly make a call on what she wanted to try. Very efficient! Linda comes from a family in the fashion business and earlier in the day had helped a bride from the U.S. select her couture wedding gown. She is versatile for sure! Thank you Linda for this great highlight of our trip to Paris!"

"My 13 year old daughter and I had a wonderful morning with Linda. We walked around the Marais area and Linda introduced us to many shops and boutiques. Linda quickly understood what my daughter style is and what she prefers and offered her different and unique items at every store. My daughter is typically not an easy shopper :) but Linda was able to find her multiple beautiful items that she loved and we purchased (all within the budget we pre-defined before starting). We even got one item for me (although this was not our focus this time ...). Linda also helped us to quickly receive the tax refund forms at the different stores we visited. Overall it was an amazing experience which my daughter really enjoyed and marked as one of the highlights of our Paris visit."

"Linda took my daughter and I and another friend and her daughter shopping and it was just perfect. She chose ideal spots for the teenagers and great spots for myself and my friend (we are in our early 50s). She's kind, patient, and thoughtful and really tries to make sure everyone finds what they need/ I also loved that she wasn't pushy with us buying things. She made me feel very comfortable to say you know this is not right for me. I love the shoes I got on our trip and the jeans and my daughter had the best time. This is a really special experience. My only suggestion would be that if you are shopping for teens and grownups to try to add more time because 2 hours was not enough for us! It's a great experience -- hope you enjoy it too!"
