Kilo Shop

This thrift shop is super huge! Really cool, most of the items are vintage, and they sort by type. I was quite impressed by how organized the store was considering how large it is and how much foot traffic it sees.

What makes this store unique is that they charge for clothing by the weight, hence the name. Most items have a colored sensor which indicates how much that item costs per kilo. They have signs around the store to remind customers of the prices, as well as scales to weigh how much your clothes cost. Some items lack a sensor and instead have a fixed price on the tag.

Once again, you really have to be willing to dig and tolerate crowds. Also, there are no fitting rooms. But if you go in with an open-mind and not an agenda in mind then you'll be fine.

I had no idea how big thrifting was in Paris, but it didn't take long for me to get caught up in it. I soon found that many of the shops offer no deals whatsoever, but Kilo Shop is AWESOME! All of their locations have a huge variety of clothes for men and women, accessories and very cool leather products. And you get the best deals because you pay by weight. I scored on a few leather wallets ($4-$7) and a very nice leather messenger bag ($27). Kilo cannot be beat!

Used clothing sold by weight? Uh ok, clever gimmick, but that's all it is.
I get paying by weight when it comes to food, but paying for something I'm going to wear by weight makes no sense to me.
Weight doesn't assure durability or style and since you've got "bulk pricing" set up there's no real way to know the price on an item without doing the math (using the handy scale) or finding out at the register.
Meh, no thanks.
The selection wasn't particularly good and without knowing whether or not I'm looking at a bargain I wasn't interested in the extra hassle of trying to determine whether the shirt or pants I was looking at was a real deal.
On to the next store as there were loads in the area, and they were worth perusing since you could easily find a simple price tag.

Pretty good thrift store, took a little of time to find a few nice pieces of clothing but it was def worth it! Not very pricey, you can really find a big variety of clothing, accessories, shoes and etc. Staff was nice but store was quite full.

Nice store nice layout and huge selection prices a little high but overall worth the trip

Yes shelves are packed tight but when searching through vintage clothing I like it better that way because there's way more options and chances I will find something I like

If you're going in for the first time just realize you just pick up an item see the color of the tag put it on a scale and hit the right button and it tell you the price very easy to figure out

Great selection of vintage options. I purchased two amazing button downs in excellent condition. Each top was roughly $30 USD which I'm happy to pay for unique vintage items of this condition. I could have easily spent an hour in here if it weren't for my rumbling tummy. Staff was accommodating and friendly. I would be a regular at this shop if I lived in the area.

Paris is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in general.
2nd hand shops, vintage are no different.
Slim pickings.

Stopped in today looking for a souvenir wardrobe item that would remind me of Paris every time I wore it. Looked at some scarves & tops and hats. Found just the right faux fur hat made in Belgium for 6 Euro!!! Will go back again & bring friends.

Perfect for buying costumes for budget performances! There are huge varieties to choose from, and over a whole range of prices.

It's also a good place to find varied clothes for men, which is not easy to do. Just do be sure to check the quality before you buy!

Too many people: I couldn't choose something...
Real problem to understand price for certain good.
I recommend to visit Kilo Shop on early morning
