The Thrift Stores Where the Coolest Parisian Teens Shop
You know we could go on at length about French-girl style. That je ne sais quoi is just isn't something you get over! So when we get introduced to a new muse, we don't take it lightly. In this case, it's a whole new group of muses.
Meet the "Gucci Gang," a seriously fashionable squad we recently discovered thanks to Refinery29. This It crew isn't your typical group of French girls, however. Instead of your standard staple Parisian brands like Sandro, the group prefers thrift shops like Emmaüs, Kilo Shop, and Free’P’Star. Cult brand Vetements is even supposedly inspired by some of these stores. Hey, if these girls and shops are cool enough for cult label Vetements, they're definitely cool enough for us.
If you're looking to emulate their style, scroll on to shop some of our favorite secondhand picks from Paris!
