LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Fringe Upside is tucked away at the end of a passage at 81 rue Saint-Maur in the 11th arrondissement — its discreet entrance is part of its appeal. Inside, it's a thrift store curated in the truest sense: the selection has been thoughtfully assembled, not simply accumulated. The team goes beyond basic styling advice, with rare secondhand specialities including colour analysis, body shape consultation, and bespoke personal shopping sessions. The boutique is particularly well-stocked in larger sizes, making it a valuable address in a sector where such offerings remain limited.
The mix of decades provides a broad palette, whether you're hunting for a statement piece or building a coherent wardrobe from scratch. For a serious session — colours, silhouette, personalised advice — ask for Camille directly. Note: the upper fitting rooms may close during busy periods; weekday visits are recommended if you want to take your time.
« Un endroit exceptionnel avec des salarié.es tout aussi exceptionnel. Gentilesse, sourire, superbe choix, rapport qualité prix… et mention spéciale pour les filles au dépôt. Ne changez rien, on vous adore (notre banquier un peu moins !) »
