Chinemachine

Our favorite vintage store in Paris. They have two floors of great selection. Everything is in good shape and there are many extraordinary pieces to be found every time we visit. It's hard to not find something to be delighted in. They have a men's section downstairs and a changing room upstairs, two things you don't always find at a vintage store.

I thought this place was great!!!! Can't imagine why reviews are low. Prices were VERY reasonable!!!!! I saw a lovely Betsy Johnson summer dress for 25 euro, and Hugo Boss dress for 20. I got 3 sweaters for 57 euro, and I could have bought more. Very friendly service!

They might have some hidden gems for a cheap price. Bough a few items here. Staff is not the friendliest. We spent 170€ and was given a broken bag for the items. Overall ok

Excellent location in a terrific part of Montmartre, at the bottom of the hill. Lots to look through, chill staff. One little "dressing room," so be patient if you have to wait. Be sure to go downstairs, there's so much more. They have terrific selections and reasonable prices.

Don’t recommend to but there, really bad quality and service. We got a shirt and the seller told us it’s amazing Chinese vintage. We went to the hotel to wash it and for 3 days it’s just all red won’t stop giving out colour and painting my hands. When we came to the shop we got a really bad treatment and they just said no refund and that it’s not that expensive to begin with and they have no time for us. Save your money and spirit ❤️

I loved the selection and the crowd and I found vintage gems I couldn’t find anywhere ! I recommend if you like selected items

Amazing items with great prices!! Lots of different styles, I think anyone can find something they love over here. I went to the other vintage shops in the area, this by far the best one! Thanks for my new favourite pants (which was only 10 euros!)

My favorite vintage shop in paris, the staff is always kind to everyone. The best clothes ever at amazing prices. I always leave out with half the store!

This place is really cute and unique in a cool area. The prices were surprisingly reasonable, and there's a pretty good selection. Make sure you go downstairs!

GReat little shop to check out for vintage mid century mod fun. Very entertaining to browse whether or not you find something perfect ; )

Great selection, the staff knows English well and makes great conversation. They helped me make a decision on shoes and a vintage dress. I got everything I needed here when the weather turned rainy for the 4th day in a row. I came in February for the first time, and had come to the city during its first major windstorm too. The jackets, backpacks, dresses, tops, skirts, shoes, and glasses (everything) was reasonably priced. I will definitely be making the journey back to this shop and it's other location many, many, many times over. 10/10

Found lots of good stuff at totally reasonable prices. The store is cute and the staff was friendly and speaks English. I love this area of Paris and this makes a nice break from sightseeing!

I probably wouldn't recommend stopping in! I've been here a few times and the staff are not friendly and not helpful. The last time I came in, the entire staff was trying to help another staff member find her phone and everyone was in a very dramatic panic. I offered to try and help and they wrote me off without a thought or a thank you. Selection is pretty medium here too! I'd say you'd be better off someplace else.

Found a couple of sweet 100% silk scarves (one designer, one not). Both very reasonably priced-not scary expensive like at Puces flea market. Lady was very polite and welcoming. She also spoke English. Nice experience.

The people who work in this store are beyond awful. They refuse to bid a person the hour of day and speak loudly at each other in raucous accents. I asked for help with something and a woman with long dark hair more or less hissed at me. It was strange, but more importantly, it was not ok. This place is not ok. I would avoid. I would actually go to Fripe store instead, which is a bit grim, but not as grim as these broads.

I was referred here by a friend. It is pretty cool. Small establishment with a lot of good usage of the space. While It was a no go for me in terms of any purchases ( always remember that thrifting is an art, and random. Some days you will strike gold and other times you will come up short) my wife found a fabulous coat for a fabulous price. She's happy and I'm happier. Thankful that they had what she was(not) looking for. She played the game and won.

Not sure why the reviews are so low.. I found great ties from Christian Dior, Valentino and Pierre Cardin for less than 15 euros each. Also found a beautiful Balenciaga silk scarf for cheap. There's not a crazy amount of items so this place is easy to look through. Give it a try!

RIP. OFF. Go back to America and buy/sell from Buffalo Echange, at least you'd get your money's worth. They are infinitely snobby here.

We visited 4 thrift stores in the 18th and 9th arrondissements yesterday in search of a wool coat and found Chinemachine to be the best organized and most pleasant experience of the four. The other 3 were either filled with piles of heavily worn garments (Guerrisol), or filled with cigarette smoke and overpriced garments. At Chinemachine, my daughter purchased a J.Crew wool/cashmere coat for 50 Euros. They put the garment on hold while we checked online and found the coat in similar condition for $67. As she lives in Austria, purchasing online through eBay or similar sites isn't cost effective. I took off 1 star because you cannot negotiate with the saleswomen. What kind of used clothing store doesn't negotiate? That's half the fun!

snob level one million. expect sneering at every turn. decent finds, but after you try clothes on, they expect you to go back through the store and put back every single item you chose in the exact place you found it. i used to work retail, and that was an essential part of the job. so let me restate: lazy snobs.

A great thrift store, not perfect, but definitely worth the stop. I'm a man and for once I found many pieces of clothes I could have bought, and believe me, it barely happens to me. I got a great coat for only €35. Okay, the salesmen they hardly speak any French, but they will reply to you in French if you speak to them in that language. And they're all English native speaker, which is really convenient for tourists. In a nutshell, if you happen to pass by, get in!
