There was almost too much choice and she was blown away when she discovered shoes for $30.
“They’re coming home with me,” she said.
The fashion capital of the world is known for its legendary haute couture.
But for those on a tight budget, the flea market is where it all turns.
Sydnee Zora (@sydneezora) is a newcomer to this special attraction in Paris.
“Flea markets in Paris, this is what thrift store heaven looks like. They are on a different level,” she said in her after.
This was a thrift store expedition she wouldn’t forget.
“This one experience spoiled me so much,” she said.
“I have the feeling that I will never look at recycling in the same way again.”
With a few spare hours before heading to the airport, she visited one of the capital’s many flea markets.
Sydnee was stunned by the number of designer labels she found.
There was Gucci, Dolce & Gabban, Moschino and YSL.
But the prices weren’t as cheap as she expected.
“It was interesting because the prices varied a lot,” she wrote.
“I expected everything to be cheap, but it was broader,” she said.
“You can get a good piece of clothing for a dollar, but some of the nicer fur coats cost between $55 and $110.”
But she found something that was in her luggage.
“The designer selection here amazed me. By the way, we brought home these Dolce & Gabbana kitten heels.
‘They had my size. That was the intention. I think I paid thirty dollars for it.”
This was a tourist attraction in Paris that she would return to.
“Honestly, I think I could have spent all day in this one market,” she said.
The commentators were green with envy and wanted to go there immediately.
“So I have to take empty luggage,” one person said.
‘I can’t even look at this, it’s painful. It’s too good,” said another.
“The Gucci and Dior shoes literally made me gasp,” said a third person.
But there was some inside information for would-be flea market shoppers.
“The Paris markets are second to none. Monmarté, just on the outskirts of Paris, is absolutely great for reasonably priced vintage,” said another veteran flea market fan.
