Ohhh, if you have any info on the brand "La Milliardaire Paris," I would love to read it. I'm slightly obsessed with finding pieces from that brand, since it's a bit rock 'n' roll and low-key glam. Still kicking myself for not snapping up a pair of burnt orange satin shorts on DePop 😭

and i feel you: sometimes letting a vintage find slip through your fingers is painful!!!! a sad part of the game 😉

I have a few Sonia Rykiel pieces, and recognize most of those brands just from years of thrifting. Excellent list! 💕

Wonderful post as always. I love that Cacharel striped set, and I gasped at those stunning 1980s Air France uniforms. Beautiful!!

Mdrr I shopped at Pimkie when I was in middle school and was so glad to move on to better and more sophisticated labels as an adult... what a throwback to see them mentioned in your article:)

Thrilled to learn more about Cacharel and French labels I knew nothing of -- will definitely be on the lookout! Merci

I have a thing for ‘collecting’ brands while vintage shopping, and really love this article! ☺️ French brands have such great vintage pieces
