FREE'P'STAR

Embrace the chaos 🤪 A collection of vintage clothes shops with ALOT of personality, you'll have to put in effort and time to search through the eclectic and unorganised mix of clothes, but once you find a few items that you like, the work will be worth it 😉 Also very affordable prices!

After 5 minutes in the trying room, a rude and nosy homeless old lady came and told us in broken English that we were taking too long. She was so insistant and rude that I thought her mind was gone and I'd better not try and reason with her, so I calmly told her I did not wish to discuss her personal perception of time any further. She became even more aggressive and to our surprise, we quickly learned that she's the shop manager and that she's losing lots of customers because we've been in there for so long (again, 5 minutes). She was also worried her boss would be unhappy with her if the sales were bad because of "people like us" (in this instance: buying customers). Well, lady, if your sales are bad, don't go and look too far away. Lucky for you, there are plenty of mirrors around the shop. UPDATE: You are actually trying to deflect the utter lack of respect shown in this shop to us? That is rich. Are we to believe you never read the dozens of comments saying the exact same thing? Working in sales is an actual job, one that deserves to be learned. You have to look the part, and act with a bare minimum of dignity. Simple math: we spent 5 minutes (would have been less without the useless meddling of the manager) and spent 20€. 2 trying rooms · (12 · 20€) = 480€ per hour. Enough to pay your staff and rent, and leave your customers in peace, yes? Just as they do in any other similar shop. Now that you mention it, she also criticized the low amount and price of what we were thinking about buying. What is expected of your customers? Repeatedly painting them as cheap after several tens of Euros have been spent across your different shops really speaks volume about the management of this brand. I'll be sure to spread the word around; customers are to be earned, not insulted.

Nice to hangout with friends who also like to hunting vintage stuffs. But I didn’t found that match me here. My friend bought a sweater and a coat, and she got teared money of €5 in changed, so rude, unprofessional and not recommended. My suggestion You have to double checked in front of the cashier right away.

1€ bins are worth it the racks are good too but more expensive..

meeeehhh idk. like the vibe is cool and all, but idk the selection of clothes is just kinda plain???? but good . definitely go there also cuz its near manyy other thrift chains like kilo shop

Really nice clothes — gently used but still in great condition. Most pieces were around €15, which is already a good deal. But here’s the secret: if you head all the way to the back, there’s a big rectangle box full of clothes for just €1 each! Clothes are piled everywhere, but it’s worth the dig. I grabbed a whole handful — didn’t even care about the sizes! The quality was totally worth it. Highly recommend checking out the back if you want amazing finds for next to nothing!

As many others have mentioned, the shop owner is extremely unprofessional and rude. She shows discriminatory behavior and may suddenly scold customers for no valid reason.

You can find chick and cheap clothes for man and womens. Also a lot of caps

This place is unorganized in terms of silhouettes/garments but I like the prices for the leather bags. A lot are old and many signs of wear but definitely worth the cheap price they put for them. You can find some bag gems here. Couldn't find any cool tees I like or pants. This store has like 1-2 employee but most times I went is 1 employee. Steep stairs so be careful when going downstairs.

Amazing prices, I was completely blown away when I entered and picked out cute things for a responsable price. The selection was amazing!

I loved my visit here. I'm an avid thrifter in the US so I was happy to try Paris out. This is, like all stores in Paris, teeny tiny. And it is absolutely crowded. But that always works for me because it provides cover to go digging through things. The men and women shopping there are also very polite and sort of circulate together to ensure everyone can see everything. Mostly they sell jackets. There are two tiers of jackets all around the walls. There are also pants and shoes. The changing room is a tiny curtained off area near the front door so I wouldn't dare try pants on in there but braver people have done. The 1 euro bin was great too. I didn't see a real difference in the quality between the 1 euro things and the more expensive ones and I got a fabulous denim jacket out of the bin. My main find was a vintage 1980s faux fur coat in great condition (minus a hook closure) for 10 euros. Most jackets are between 5 and 10 a piece. When I cleaned my denim back home a fair deal of dust and grime came out and I had to clean the fur too for a smoky edge (France, sigh) so the one star off is for the cleanliness as compared to Goodwill and Salvation Army.

This thrift store is super sick. Like most thrift stores, there are some real hidden gems, as long as you're willing to search! I walked away with a moncler sweater that only cost 10 euros! I also saw a Burberry jacket for only 30 euros, but unfortunately, it was not my style. The only complaint I have is how crowded this store gets. There's not much space to begin with because the store is stuffed to the brim with clothes, and at some points it got so packed that you couldn't even move along the aisles. The worst of it was at the 1 euro bin. Couldn't even wedge a hand in. Although I personally had a good experience, I would only recommend this to people who have serious stamina and patience for thrifting. Otherwise, it is quite easy to get frustrated and quit. Luckily, there are multiple other thrift and vintage stores near by that are less crowded. But all in all, a must visit if you are an avid thrifter.

Stumbled upon this chik cute thrift store while wondering the streets of Paris looking for the Sacre Couer. The store is small but has great finds. Found a made in France faux leather jacket for €10.

I enjoyed this place found some nice things. Including a Long Champ bag that wasn't in bad condition.

I feel like I got the steals of the century--a hip, chocolate brown leather jacket in perfect condition for 10€ and the cutest mod bag for 10€ as well. They could easily charge more for the good stuff but it seems that they don't.

Freep is probably the best thrift store I've been to in Paris, although it's grossly crowded and can sometimes be overpriced. I'd take it over kilo shop any day because it has genuinely well-chosen pieces. If you easily get social anxiety be aware that this place is tiny and you will get stressed.

Decided to check this place out based on the previous positive reviews. Visited Paris for a few days from California and was hoping to find an interesting thrift store. Welp this place was trash! Literally, the clothes were basically in heaps and the quality of the stuff was like what you'd find at a dump. Tiny place too so we were crammed in between a bunch of people sorting through these heaps of smelly old clothes and shoes. Not cheap either. Anyways we left right away.

You have to be really fast and have a keen eye to enter this store. It was crazy busy but the basement holds some gems if you're willing to go for it. I saw a 10€ Valentino and some great jacket options for men.

Call me prude, down one star for the naked pictures on the wall. But the deals were awesome. Everything you find upstairs is a $1, I found a rockin vintage tie and sport coat!

I was so excited to come here and it took me such a long time to find it! So I was pretty disappointed when I didn't find anything that I liked. I go thrift shopping in the U.S. all the time and I thought the thrift stores in Paris would be amazing, but really they just had a lot of the same things, a whole rack of flannels, tons of leather and fur coats and a lot of sweatshirts. The 1euro area upstairs would've been cool to look through if there hadn't been 5-6 people trying to cram in at once and it was way too hot. The stairs were also very steep so beware. I really wanted to like this place, maybe the other location is better.

A bit expensive on some (designer) items but mostly in the 20€ to 60€ range. Check out the bargain attic for 1€ finds. Both the attic and downstairs sales floor were crowded but nothing as bad as some other reviewers mentioned in my experience-- I visited on a Saturday late afternoon and while the aisles are cramped, def not traumatizingly bad. AND THE CLOTHES. So gorgeous! Wish my budget allowed some purchases I convinced myself out of.

This place is definitely for an experienced thrifter. It is disorganized, cramped, poorly ventilated, and full of hidden gems. The clothes on hangers will have price tags but those in boxes in the back room are priced by the cashier, usually around $3-5. There is one dressing room behind a mirror across from the cashier but you will probably have to wait. I'm not sure if it's always like this, but virtually every other item was polka dot or striped. There are piles of purses, scarves, and belts scattered in boxes around the store. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to dig.

This is not just a store-it's an adventure. An adventure in being pushed, shoved, crowded out, unable to reach what you want or get to the middle of the rack, and of course the death defying small spiral stairs that lead to the downstairs basement section. So why am I giving it 4 stars? Most vintage in Europe is shockingly overpriced. Stores think nothing of charging you 150 euros for a jacket with damage that hasn't even been drycleaned. At places like Freep Star, however, you have to do a bit of digging but the prices are reasonable. If you keep an eye out, you may see an employee hanging new garments on the rack as you are waiting. I spotted some 50s circle skirts and a 30s dress that were not too expensive that had just been put out. You can also ask for a list of the other stores-I believe there are 4 within walking distance of each other.

Hmm, I was pretty excited to go here after reading the current reviews on Yelp, but I have to say that, although it is extremely cheap, most of the clothing is frankly very old. There are lots of pieces with polka dot patterns so if that sort of thing speaks to you then maybe you should go for it. They have a one euro bin full of scarves and a couple of simple shirts. They have a ton of bags, but like everything else they are old and it isn't likely that you'll find anything brand-name, even if you dig to the bottom of the pile. I didn't stay for too long for a lack of patience but I'm sure that in the future people with both patience and open minds will make great finds in this store.

I was so excited to thrift shop here, and I'd heard some amazing stories about Free 'P' Star, but the actual thing was really disappointing. I actually went to all of the locations, perhaps the best one was on Rue de Rivoli, but even so, I wouldn't experience it again. There's a lot of fabulous vintage/thrift shopping in the Marais, so walk around and look and you'll find stores with better stuff. It wasn't crazy crowded but I spent all day digging and only ended up buying a couple scarves- though I must admit one euro is pretty sweet for silk scarves. If you go try to go on a weekday and best of luck to you!
