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 love La Milliardaire, but I know next to nothing about the brand. 80s/90s rock 'n' roll-meets-Fran Fine looks. On a quest to find out more, and also collect more pieces.
seeing naf naf on here makes me so happy!!! i have a couple pieces from my mom from when she lived in france and they’re lovely :) i’m always on the hunt for more
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 😭
cop. copine
vintage Kenzo
rodier
💯💯💯 those are some of my faves too!! (though cop copine has gotten a biiiit too highly in demand in my opinion!)
Just bought the gorgeous coat thank you thank you for these recs !! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
so glad you snatched it Juliet, it was one of my favorite finds!!! feel free to send a photo once you’ve received it 🥰
I will!

I’m old enough to remember these the first time around and you nailed it. If I could recommend a menswear brand for your boyfriends: Daniel Hechter.
thanks Hilaire!! Daniel Hechter is such a great brand to use on secondhand websites 💯💯💯
Had no idea Pimkie was French, feeling very cool about one of my favourite jackets 🥰
ahh so fun! is it vintage Pimkie??
Wow. Some of those names! I had a pair of New Man jeans when I was a teen! And cacharel and nafnaf.

oh wow don’t know that one, thanks for sharing!! i’m going to check it out :)
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! 💕
thanks Sheila! Sonia Rykiel is so good :)
Wonderful post as always. I love that Cacharel striped set, and I gasped at those stunning 1980s Air France uniforms. Beautiful!!
thanks Sara!! i knowww, turns out their uniforms were designed by so many incredible designers (Lacroix, Balenciaga, Nina Ricci…)
Great wrap up! I discovered some new to me brands!
thanks Anna 🥰
oh I love love cacharel! They have the BEST knee length silk skirts. Sonia is also fantastic.
cacharel & sonia are faves for sure!!!
I have a thing for ‘collecting’ brands while vintage shopping, and really love this article! ☺️ French brands have such great vintage pieces
thats exactly how it feels: collecting! honestly the best way to thrift in my opinion :) thank you!! 🥰
One brand that does not exist anymore (I think), but it used to be in Galleries Lafayette is see u soon.
Love this so much, thank you for sharing!!!
