Kiliwatch, the Vintage hub

Since vintage has become such a trend and I think will stick around for quite awhile, I cannot help but talking about one of the most praised secondhand store in Paris, Kiliwatch. I first came across the name in one of the Paris books I bought when I first arrived here. Later when one of my friends got her apartment not far from the shop in the Etienne Marcel, I tend to drag her there at least once a month. It's become one of my favorite shops in Paris I would say.
Kiliwatch mainly sells secondhand clothes, shoes and bags but they also feature with the local brands in the front area of the shop. Fashion magazines are also available there. I regularly dig myself in the piles of skirts and shirts at one of the corners. My favorite founds would be a few polka-dot pleats (to my friends, I'm rather obsessed with anything polka dots) and the proud horizontal navy blue/ white stripe skirt. One of the best founds would be this leather jacket costing only 155€! (Now that I say "only" because anyone would know that it's almost impossible to find a nice leather jacket with the price lower than...let's say 300€?

Not only me as fan of this store, many locals and Japanese seem to love it here as well. A few cute staffs are also at your service. *wink*
