Like most things in Ibiza it's over priced ( a dress would be 100euros). But it did have lots of nice finds. If you've arrived and realised that nothing you've packed is right, you will find something here. LOADS of beautiful vintage swimsuits.
Reviews of vintage clothes shops with maps so you can find them.

Holala! Ibiza
If like me you get a bit scared of holidaying anywhere where there isn't any vintage shopping, then even one OK shop can sort you out.

The King of Frip, Paris
It's more a second hand clothes shop than a vintage shop. I didn't love it, but the reason I'm sharing it with you is that it had hundreds of bretton tops. I have a friend that wears a different bretton top everyday...if they're your staple too it's worth a visit.

Allison & Sasha, Paris
This is a nice shop. Again make sure you make your way down to the huge basement where you'll find fur, dungarees, an array of wool coats, over size jumpers and a mens section.
There's lots of fairly standard vintage, 80's nylon blouses, mohair cardigans, loads of itchy 70's blazers and flares, but there's definitely some finds and it's a nice clean place to shop. I got a red sleeveless jump suit which was under 20euros...bargain.

Paris Vintage Shopping Map
A map of the shops I visited in Paris. Print it out or link it to your iphone apps next time you go to Paris.
Room Service, Paris
Room Service is a boutique with a small vintage section at the back, probably about 50 piece in total. Nicely sourced though, with some special finds. I tried on some great red and green jodphurs but couldn’t bring my self to part with the 90euros they cost.
Come on Eileen, Paris
Come on Eileen is no ordinary vintage shop. It’s special. So special, I don’t really want to tell you about it. It’s packed with designer vintage, lots of Thierry Mugler, Lanvin and YSL.
From the street, you walk in to what appears to be a small shop, this is where all the amazing designer vintage is. After searching through the whole of the floor where most things are 200euros or above, the lady pointed me downstairs. Oh my, it’s huge. After walking down the stairs through a room dedicated to only vintage converse and levis, you arrive to the very welcome site of a huge basement. Racks and racks of very well sourced vintage. The basement has lots more affordable bits. Every piece has something lovely about it. You can tell that this shop is ran by someone who loves clothes. The shop assisitant was really helpful and very enthusiastic about different pieces. I had the place to myself which was lucky as I got a bit over excited and tried lots on. It’s the kind of shop where you live in fear that someone else might get to a rail before you.

The teenage room...converse and jeans.
The wonderful jam packed basement.
I bought a pastel pink blazer and matching skirt with a cut out detail for 70euros. I feel very Samantha in it.
