Perfectly packed showcases with shoes and accessories

This string of stores owned by a music exchange company is the longest standing chain of vintage stores in London, all similar and filled to the brim with glass showcases lining the walls. There is a divide between the stores in terms of high end retro fashion's; mens and women's, accessories, houswares and some stores with more thrift items, all of them are neat and organized according to vintage standards and have walls lined with showcases displaying the merchandise which is clearly labeled and dated.

Favorite Parisian Vintage Treasure Hunt: Fripes Star

Fripes Star is a Parisian experience like no other, amidst all of the crowds of people pushing and tripping their ways among the racks and bins and bags and shelves of clothing are amazing treasures to be found, for amazing prices! There are mountains of fur hats piled up in corners, purses exploding from shelves, dresses lined up waiting to be searched though and many other amazing gems I'm sure, hidden somewhere in the chaos. It looks like a club on the outside and inside, glowing lights, an upper level with entirely black lighting and lots of dancing to get around all the clothing piled up in there! A definite hot spot on my Paris vintage list.
