At the heart of Paris, a thrift store attracts stars and vintage fashion enthusiasts.
Located in the heart of Paris, this thrift store attracts international celebrities as well as vintage fashion enthusiasts. With its authentic pieces from the United States and its bold streetwear aesthetic, Son et Image Vintage Clothing has established itself as one of the most sought-after addresses in the capital.
Considered “the place to be” for finding American-inspired pieces, the store is run by Shala Riazi, a vintage enthusiast with nearly fifteen years of experience in this field. Today, the boutique has three locations in the capital: one at 22 boulevard Sébastopol in the 2nd arrondissement, and two others in the 1st arrondissement, just a few steps from the historic heart of Paris.
The store’s distinctive selection is what draws French and international celebrities like A$AP Rocky, footballer Jules Koundé, model Amelia Gray, and rapper Dinos. The founder personally curates each item in the store, focusing on authentic clothing often imported from the United States and Europe. This approach appeals to stylists, artists, and fashion enthusiasts seeking unique finds. In fact, it is where top model Amelia Gray likes to discover some of her vintage gems when visiting Paris.
The vintage address that sets the Parisian fashion scene abuzz
Over the years, Son et Image Vintage Clothing has become a reference for streetwear and retro fashion lovers. The store offers a precise selection of American pieces, including rap t-shirts, Levi’s 501 jeans, Carhartt jackets, and office wear from the 80s and 90s.
Most of the items come from the United States: worn leather aviator jackets, patched bombers, music-themed merch tees, and carefully reworked vintage denim. The store’s aesthetic blends hip-hop culture with Americana nostalgia, making it one of the most popular spots in the Parisian fashion scene. Stylists searching for rare pieces, vintage collectors, and visiting celebrities regularly come together at this location.
However, the store appeals not only to stars but also to Parisian fashionistas and streetwear enthusiasts looking for unique pieces at relatively accessible prices. Between surprising discoveries and daring silhouettes, Son et Image Vintage Clothing stands out as the perfect place to find a garment with a story and add character to your wardrobe.
