Vintage accessories are guaranteed to cause a sensation. A worn-out pouch, branded silk scarf and a 1930s frock all score a few points when you proclaim you rummaged through a brocante to find them. The thing is, you don't really know how to tell synthetic tulle from old fashioned lace. Book an appointment with the high priestess of vintage.

Charlotte is at home in the Puces of Saint Ouen : she knows how to decipher reluctant attitudes, breathe life into tricky corset dresses. She's hot on all those emblematic handbags. Follow her for a vintage visit, shuffling through trunks, tiptoing into boudoir-looking boutiques, inspecting Chanel or YSL pieces. Memorise her favorite addresses and come back later to rummage in your own time like an initiée.
