Vintage sur mesure

Stylish girls know the trick. They’ll never take « outfit » for an answer to any fashion question. They mix and match, Chanel with H&M... and even better, they add vintage.

Vintage. The mere idea of rummaging through piles of smelly old clothes has you running straight to Gap.

Well why don’t you run instead to Philippe’s vintage shop « La Belle Epoque » for a sur-mesure shopping session ? He’s got an eye for finding the right vintage item that will cause quite a stir in your garde-robe and might just turn your whole look around.
He knows the story of each one of the pieces that he’s been collecting for years : from the cute victorian overcoat to the Brigitte Bardot style beach dress straight out of the sixties.

We’re talking real sound advise and cheap vintage treasures here. And the guarantee to look like Chloe Sevigné when you walk out the door. Without the rummaging.

La Belle Epoque
10, rue du Poitou - 3rd
Open daily Tuesday to Saturday 1.30 - 6.30pm
