Best second hand shops in Bordeaux

No Comments
second hand shops in Bordeaux

Bordeaux may not be France’s fashion capital but the Bordelais are actually quite stylish. And just like everybody else, they also love to buy some of their items in second hand shops. However, these are not so easy to spot without some guidance. That’s why I decided to gather a list of the best vintage and second-hand shops in Bordeaux. The guide includes both trendy boutiques with special items from the 80s as well as more day to day shops where you can find cheap and beutiful items. Second-hand shops are chic and environmentally friendly so I’m totally for it! Let’s start with our list!

Second-Hand shops in Bordeaux city center

Freep’show

Fpeepshow bordeaux
Freep’show the funky second-hand shop in Bordeaux

This is one of the funkiest shops in Bordeaux. Once you take your eyes off the big Slash mannequin in the entrance, you can spot plenty of second-hand items from the 80s and 90s that will make you instantly nostalgic. The shop is not big but the selection of plaid shirts, short jeans, and colorful dresses is really impressive. Freep’show has a hipster vibe to it. Stylish employees moving to the beat of the music played in the shop decorated with vinyl records (you get the picture..). The prices are very low, you can find plenty of items for 10 euros or less. 

Address: 80 Rue du Loup, 33000 Bordeaux

Chamade

Chamade second hand Bordeaux
Chamade – here you can also sell your clothes

Chamade looks like a fancy boutique from outside but it’s actually another beautiful vintage shop on rue du Loup. They have an impressive collection of women’s wear, a lot of stylish skirts and button-down shirts. They also have a big collection of beautiful jewelry, which is not second-hand but complements their vintage clothes perfectly. This store also buys second-hand clothes so if you have some stylish items to get rid off you may make some money on the way. 

Address: 76 Rue du Loup, 33000 Bordeaux

Jolie Mome

Jolie Mome
Jolie Mome – chic store in Bordeaux center

Jolie Mome is a super stylish second-hand boutique with a very young vibe to it. They have a big selection of trendy outfits and the store has a very similar design to other fashion boutiques in the city center, so it’s hard to tell from the outside that it’s a second-hand shop. They sell only women wear, offering a lot of beautiful dresses you could wear on events as well as nice accessories like bags and scarves. The prices are really good with a lot of items at around 20 euros. 

Address: 22 Rue du Pas-Saint-Georges, 33000 Bordeaux

Madame plus 

Madame Plus Bordeaux
Madame Plus – a good store for women and kids

Another good second-hand shop is Madame Plus, which has a big selection of women wear but also a nice section dedicated to kids and babies. It’s very well organized and you can find plenty of casual items from dresses to jeans and bags. I found the shopping experience there very pleasant. 

Address: 22 Rue Castillon, 33000 Bordeaux

Backstage

backstage
Backstage – luxury second hand shop

This is the most high-end vintage store in Bordeaux. From first glance, it looks more like a luxury bridal shop than a second hand one. There are lots of special vintage items like designer dresses, bags and beautiful hats. The prices are quite high but if you’re on a hunt for a special item for an event, this is a good store to stop by. 

Address: 14 Rue Maucoudinat, 33000 Bordeaux

Vintage Paradise

Vintage Paradise Bordeaux
Vintage Paradise – plenty of colorful shirts

A very colorful shop with a huge selection of shorts and jeans for both men and women.  You won’t find elegant dresses or bags in this shop but rather plenty of casual wear. The items are very fashionable with a lot of reference to the 90s. The prices in the shop are really affordable with most of the items ranging between 10 and 20 euros. 

Address: rue 33000, 2 Rue Tustal, 33000 Bordeaux

Amos

Amos - solidarity shop
Amos – a solidarity shop with chic

Amos is an association that employs people going through reintegration into society and all of the clothes you’ll see in their stores are coming from donations. They have several stores in Bordeaux with the most central and stylish being the one on rue Sainte Catherine. All the shops have women, men and kids wear, with some offering also toys and books. The prices are very low and it’s nice to be able to take part in a social project. If you have clothes that you don’t use anymore, you can donate them to Amos. Their containers marked AMOS, are spread all over the city (click here to see where the containers are located). 

Address: 146 Rue Sainte-Catherine, 33000 Bordeaux

Mad Vintage

Mad vintage second hand Bordeaux
Mad Vintage – a good selection for men

Mad Vintage is a big second-hand store on rue Sainte Catharine that looks like a regular clothes store rather than a thrift shop. The shop is very well organized with a big selection of basic t-shirts and jeans and a section of 90s jackets, with some looking like they have been taken from the set of the Fresh Prince of Bel-air. This store has one of the best collections for men in Bordeaux, as opposed to many other second-hand shops that sell only women clothes. 

Address: 142 Rue Sainte-Catherine, 33000 Bordeaux

Platine Vintage

Platine Bordeaux
Platine – 90’s chic

Platine is a small store in one of the chicest areas in Bordeaux, located just next to the Grosse Cloche. It has a very strong 90’s vibe, offering a big selection of jeans jackets, belt pouches, polaroid cameras, and more. While I did find some nice 90’s accessories in the shop, I believe that in the clothing section it has a better selection for men than for women.

Address: 4 Rue Bouquière, 33000 Bordeaux

Help

This is not one of those chic shops you go to for the second-hand shopping experience but rather a big shop where you go to dig in piles of clothes to find that one special item. It’s an outlet store and next to some second-hand items you can find plenty of clothes from retail stores and designers such as Tommy Hilfiger, Prada and more. The prices are very low and you can find anything from coats to women lingerie, kids wear and ties for men. The store doesn’t look big from outside but it’s actually huge once you go inside. 

Address: 187 Rue Sainte-Catherine, 33000 Bordeaux

Second-hand shops in Saint Michel and Victoire, Bordeaux

Declic

Declic Bordeaux
Declic – my favorite style

Declic is one of the most stylish vintage shops in Bordeaux. The boutique, located next to the Victoire square, is beautifully designed, offering a great shopping experience. If you’re looking for something to wear to an event that would be the best shop to start with. On the display, you can find plenty of beautiful dresses, stylish bags, belts and hats. The owner has already made the work for you by creating some beautiful combinations that you can see on the store’s walls. The prices here are a bit more elevated as its a vintage shop with very carefully selected items, but you can still find a lot of items at around 20 euros. 

Address: 17 rue des Augustins, 33000 Bordeaux

Steack-Fripes

Steack- Fripes is one of the most popular second-hand shops in Bordeaux. It offers a very eclectic style from vintage dresses from the 20s to old costumes and hats, all organized by color code. The owners are pretty good at selecting a lot of special items so if you want to add a twist to your look, you should definitely check out this store. 

Address:  62 Rue du Mirail, 33000 Bordeaux

Boutique Marcelle

Boutique Marcelle, located in the Victoire neighborhood is more of a thrift store, meaning that you’ll have to work a bit to find the more stylish items. It’s packed with clothes, bags and shoes for both women and men. It’s not a very fashionable shop but it offers plenty of items with very eclectic styles. So if you have the time for some digging you might find great bargains here.

Address: 55 Rue du Mirail, 33000 Bordeaux

Le Fil a Retordre

Le Fil a Retordre in Saint Michel
Le Fil a Retordre – a small shop with everything you need

Le Fil a Retordre is a cozy little second-hand shop in the Saint Michel neighborhood. It looks small but has everything you need, clothes, shoes, books, toys, house decor and even some original designs of clothes and bags recycled from old items, all in very good condition. It’s owned by a nice lady who has owned several second-hand shops in Saint Michel in the last 35 years.

Address: 9 rue des Faures, 33000 Bordeaux
