Fourth and final stop: Vintage Bar Paris..also Rue de la Verrerie but number 16. 75004 Paris.
This baby was all about the high end. There was even a muscle man at the front door - although I will say quite friendly. I asked if I could take pictures and there was no problem.
It was small, but less crowded. The breathing room was nice. But take a look at the front window display...explanation for the weekend calm?
Yes folks, that's 890 Euros on that used purse. We're talking a thousand dollars for something pre-owned.
Yes, it's a Chanel, but is this particular model worth that?
Evidently just about everything inside has a high-end label.
I saw lots of fur coats (some quite wacky), sunglasses, purses, shoes (that would make even Carrie Bradshaw proud) and lots of 'blingy', faux jewels.
The petite boutique was 2 stories - the basement containing mostly coats.
Did I buy anything?
No.
Personally, I found everything within arm's reach way over-priced (the 'vintage' sunglasses alone were more than 100 dollars each). I don't know about you, but I like a good deal. If I see something I just gotta have, I'll splurge; but as for the arm's reach, there was nothing that fit that description.
Maybe better deals were to be found, but I wasn't in the digging mood. It was time to have a glass of wine with my honey...after all, we were in the city of love. And he had been so patient traipsing to 4 vintage stores in a row for me. That's love.
More pics here after this jump for those interested:
