LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Tucked away at 85 rue Sedaine in the 11th arrondissement, Chine with me is the kind of address you keep close to your chest. The boutique has earned a solid reputation in Paris's vintage scene thanks to a carefully curated selection of 90s and Y2K clothing — printed vintage dresses, corsets, Custo Barcelona pieces, and everything else that era had to offer. The atmosphere is warm and somewhat nostalgic, without the cold sterility of concept stores that take themselves too seriously.
Edna, the owner, is a genuine resource: she knows her stock inside out and won't hesitate to point you in the right direction, so don't be shy about asking for advice. The shop opens on Sundays, making it an ideal stop during a neighbourhood wander. During events, a small queue may form — it's well worth the wait.
« Une boutique avec une selection incroyable de vetements ! Elle vous plonge tout de suite dans l'ambiance 90/2000, avec des pièces uniques et très bien choisies, en parfait accord avec le thème. La selection est très souvent mise à jour et il y en a pour tout les goûts ! J'y trouve mon bohneur à chaque visite. La proprietaire est absolument adorable et de très bon conseils. Cette boutique figure parmis mes préférées de la capitale, allez y sans détour !! »
