If you're looking for some cool, funky retro and vintage clothes in Paris, then look no further than Générique. A small, simple shop, it could be easy to pass by it as you ramble about the Latin Quarter in Paris, France.
But be sure to stop by and check out the wonderful collection of vintage jewelry from the 50s, a dazzle of old-school rhinestones and semi-precious stones.
There were vintage and modern syles, both generic and name-brand. There are sales from time to time, which are worth checking out. For example, this month it is -20% on the jewelry.
Générique isn't just a second-hand store (fripperie), it is instead a consignment shop (Dépôt-Vente). This means you bring your items there, and they sell them for you, and you get a cut of the money upon its sale. So, if you have a funky little 50s cocktail dress to sell, the owner is happy to do it for you, and you get 50% of the sale price. She has been running this store for 15 years so clearly does well in business. You can use the money you make to pick up some new items!
