Situated in the heart of the trendy Rue Montorgueil neighborhood in the center of the city, Kiliwatch is a local temple for the discerning vintage fashion fan. This is far from being a bargain bin, but you can often find gorgeous designer pieces here for relatively reasonable prices-- especially during the annual sales in Paris. Kiliwatch also offers a good selection of new clothing from edgy urban designers, and boasts an onsite fashion bookshop.

Main Departments at Kiliwatch:
Men's and Women's Fashion: Kiliwatch's specialty is vintage, but you'll have to head to the back of the store to find most of the goods. This boutique tends to be expensive compared to smaller, less hip vintage shops around the city, but the mix and quality makes it a good place to head if you don't have time to rummage around in several places. The shop also stocks new clothes from hip urban designers like Nümph.
Accessories, Shoes and Jewelry: A good mix of new and used accessories and footwear can be found toward the front of the store. There's also a selection of books (mostly on fashion and design) for style-conscious bookworms.
