This clothing of the city centre is a good business. And the tiny window does not allow to suspect how much! Three pieces of thread and a basement invite you to farfouiller in a selection of parts of friperies, déstockages, series and clothes sold by individuals twice a year in a large fair, where the boss buys your clothes to a euro room.

Small objects and knick-knacks from all eras rub shoulders with antique or contemporary furniture: tables, chairs, armchairs, sofas and wardrobes, carpets; also silverware and beautiful crockery kept under lock and key in glass cases. In this Ali Baba's cave, each category is well arranged in its place on shelves or in a space dedicated to it, just like these period records, paintings and engravings, mirrors and old books. Occadeco also takes back furniture or objects that you no longer need, either for sale or for cash, after an estimate. An address where you have to come often to find the good deal that never stays on the shelf for long.

Story: A big discount store. You can't find what you're looking for the first time, so don't go to this store with a definite idea. You have to search for your "find" among clothes and shoes for men, women, children, babies, lingerie, cosmetics, household linen, leather goods and luggage.

Products: Although the clothes are old collections, the big ready-to-wear brands such as Diesel, Kookaï, Levis remain of good quality and for small budgets, business is there. Moreover, the arrivals are frequent and allow to never get bored and always find nice surprises!

Advantages: The prices of the big brands are sometimes divided by three, especially on cosmetology. To consult the updated list of brands on the shelves, you must register on the website.

A concept created in the 1970s, Kilo Shop has been well known in the region since the 2000s, with a store in Aix that attracted all the region's second-hand enthusiasts. Recently, Kilo Shop has set up shop - or rather, its kilos of vintage clothes - right on rue Saint-Ferréol, Marseille's shopping thoroughfare, which is trying to revitalize itself. The principle is simple: you choose the pieces you like, then pay by weight. It's a real bargain, and a responsible way to dress at a time when fast fashion is in the eye of the storm. There are some really beautiful pieces to be found in the piles of clothes, so arm yourself with patience and flair!

Here is an olive grove, well sheltered from the Mistral wind, in the heart of the Provençal garrigue, which will allow you to discover a traditional and ancestral know-how: the cultivation of the olive in Provence. The culture is reasoned and the harvests are done by hand, to obtain the best of the green or black olive.

In an alley in the old part of Aix, between the Hôtel de Ville and the Place des Prêcheurs, the address is a meeting place for young and old, high school students and vintage lovers. Trendy and quirky, the store is all along and on three spaces, where you can find a lot of thrift and well classified articles. That said, we're here to find the rare pearl, the little Courrèges-style dress, the little retro sweater, the plaid kilt or the brand sweatshirt that we zapped a few years ago and that we'll happily update. We let ourselves be tempted by a fur (at this price!), astrakhan or fox collar, by the accessory that will boost a too classic outfit, scarf or handbag from the 1950s, sunglasses, boots or pumps. Some vintage decoration objects as well, Bakelite telephones, Polaroids, and 33 rpm vinyl records. Blow Up organizes dress-down sales or special bargain days, stay tuned via its Facebook page.
