Thrift shops Bouches-Du-Rhône

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. The person responsible is truly charming and very strict: all the pieces it presents are impeccable, washed, checked and in very good condition. A really smart address.

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!

Between the boulevard Longchamp and the boulevard de la Libération, in a district in full ebullition, it is with his heart of bargain hunter that Tony, sparkling champenois impassioned of secondhand trade, opened his store for our biggest pleasure. A landmark for lovers of second-hand goods, of mottled objects ranging from small pieces of furniture to old-fashioned crockery, as well as costume jewelry from the 1960s to the present day, or even 45s, books, pins and leather goods. Everything that is sold here has been chosen by Tony, who is particularly concerned about selling clothes that are made in France, sometimes handmade, carefully selected and gender-neutral. Local designer's corner. Smiling and sincere welcome.

Marion, the designer of this shop, is a separate personality. From Breton and Marseillaise in recent years, it is inspired and inspiring. A musician in a country group, she expresses through his Sepia Swing Club all his taste for the strawberries of another time, restored to the taste of the day. From the 1950 s to the 1990 s, you'll find beautiful pieces - from creators sometimes - and accessories that will add a funky touch to your look. The shop itself is already inspiring by its personal and well thought out side. Not a fridge like the others.

This is one of the best kept secrets of the city and of the vintage and second-hand clothing enthusiasts. It's a secret that has been passed on by word of mouth for the last few years that this shop has existed, but it's rumoured that this is one of the best second-hand shops in the city. Pieces from another era but deliciously vintage, clothes more current but well chosen, with taste. Clothes but also shoes and accessories. You might as well say that the smartest ones take a look at it regularly and that the clothes of big brands are not old bones.

Here's a thrift shop not really like all the others in Marseille. Just a stone's throw from the Cours Notre-Dame-du-Mont, this shop is full of liveliness and colour! Welcome to the realm of eccentricity, prints, vintage pearls and the freedom to simply be yourself! At the head of the boutique is a colourful Italian-British couple, and accessories and pieces for all budgets. Here, we advocate the desire to be yourself, to dress as you wish, without taking into account the diktat of fashion. Funky, seventies and nineties nuggets, a little tour in this store will surely inspire you. And will make you leave with a smile!

Humana is an international organization dedicated to reusing textiles and providing clothing for the underprivileged. It's a social and ecological approach that's increasingly appealing to the average consumer, since people all over the world go to Humana to find rare fashion pieces. In Marseille, there are several boutiques, including the historic one on rue de Lodi, but also rue Colbert in the city center and boulevard de Dunkerque in La Joliette. The latest arrival is the Humana Vintage boutique on Cours Julien, targeting a young, trendy clientele. The store is bright and modern, and the products on display are well showcased. Low prices and cool pieces.

In the lively Cours Julien district, Rue Pastoret is one of the most attractive streets in the area for its original and popular shops. A newcomer to this street, this thrift store may make you smile with its apt name, but be warned: you'll find some truly original pieces that will make you smile even more. Round prices and tastefully selected vintage items, led by the team at Maison Mère, located near rue de la République and a benchmark for stylish second-hand clothes in Marseille. Vintage, nineties and eighties to create your look without breaking the bank or succumbing to fast fashion.

This is the place to be for streetwear, sneakers and vintage accessories lovers. Maison Mère, since its opening, has made a name for itself and a reputation in the world of look afficionados. The new store is smaller than the previous huge store on rue de la République, but the choice is still very diverse. Those who want to fine-tune their look can easily access this central address where Levi's jeans rub shoulders with other famous brands such as Nike or Supreme. As soon as you enter, the sneaker corner is striking for its choice and variety. An address for connoisseurs and the curious.

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. On the other hand, Blow Up doesn't do yard sales, its suppliers are exclusively professionals. Stop by regularly, arrivals are frequent.

One of the latest vintage addresses to be created in this well-stocked neighborhood, well known to lovers of the genre. Chez Coco is the haunt of Stefen, a new-born Marseille fashion enthusiast who unearths rare pieces on his travels around Europe. The emphasis is on color and a real preference for 1970s looks, although pieces from the 1980s and 1990s can also be found here. A quick tour of the store's Facebook or Instagram page before your in-store visit will give you an idea of the spirit of Chez Coco. Once you're there, let yourself be drawn in by the beautiful blue storefront with its seventies typography. All that's left to do is polish up your look.
