Super cute women's thrift/vintage store in Lyon. We were looking for some good vintage sl thrifting…read moreand I will say, it was shockingly hard to find. There's a lot of vintage but it either is extremely high end or catered towards men in Lyon. I will say if I see another multi colored windbreaker and video game/band tea from the 80s or early 90s, it will be too soon. Well it's fun to see what other countries and cultures, our valuing, as somebody who lived through the 80s and 90s, I don't understand why it's somehow the height of hipster fashion these days. We were looking for some real quality women's thrift shopping and we found that at Carey Brad shop. The proprietor was very sweet and his English was very good. He was really helpful and, let us know he traveled all around to find his pieces. He was also helpful, and what we were looking for. We only had a chance to stop in for a little bit. The only reason I didn't get five stars is it opened a little bit late, and while it's most likely a sole proprietor, an hours are limited most likely due to Covid, and less of a tourist population, if I do find myself in Lyons I will definitely be going back again. If you're there, highly recommend. Lots of really cute accessories, shoes, and well priced. As noted, there's high end women's vintage in France, a lot of Chanel, and designer, but this spot had quite a variety of price points, and was not high end, but high-quality.

Plus qu'un travail, c'est avant tout une histoire d'amitié et de plaisir qui lie Patrick et Yvo : " Il est tout aussi grisant de faire une découverte dans un obscur marché aux puces de Barcelone que de la proposer à une cliente conquise ! " confient-t-ils. D'ailleurs, nos deux compères ne sont pas nouveaux dans le phénomène ultra mode du vintage puisqu'Yvo chine par souci d'originalité depuis 1985, ses années lycée, tandis que le père de Patrick était antiquaire... L'aspect écologique ne leur a pas échappé puisqu'ils accordent tout deux une grande importance à l'environnement et au recyclage. De même, leur philosophie insiste sur le concept d'héritage. Avec le vintage, on observe une sorte de transmission culturelle de la l'histoire de la mode : " C'est vraiment amusant de voir des jeunes craquer pour des vêtements d'une époque qu'ils n'ont pas connue ! On inscrit ainsi le vêtement dans un nouveau contexte pour une nouvelle histoire, une nouvelle vie ! ". Les fashionistas, les lolitas et les collectionneuses de tous âges ont déjà flairé la bonne adresse car à 30 ou 40 euros le panier moyen, la folie couture est permise chez Carrie ! Dior, Ricci, Givenchy... Vintage & The City !

The young man who welcomed me invited me to join a talk about the history of silk manufacturing in…read moreLyon he was doing for a class. It was in French, but I was able to understand it well, I just can't respond in French when it's sort of technical! The talk included how Francois I created the trade and how Lyon had at its hight over 5,000 small manufacturers. This store is well known for their loomed designs, where the silk is woven with colors and more. The work is absolutely stunning and I wish I could have bought so much more! I picked two amazing jacquard shawls, a silk square with a tulip design for my sister, a beautiful jacquard tie for my cousin and a hand painted silk scarf. I truly loved the selection, and it was VERY hard to choose. The prices seemed extremely fair for the work that goes into the pieces. If I bought them in the US, they'd be triple the price or more. The store is small and adorable, but the best part was the learning about the manufacturing of such stunning things. I'm glad I bought what I did, but I could have bought so many more pieces!

This little shop tucked back behind what looked like an ally was recommended by a local. It took…read moreme FOREVER to find it but it was worth the trek. First off, there is a long tradition behind the silk industry in Lyon and I was seeking as special gift that could be found no where else but Lyon. This is THE place for such a thing. The employees were friendly, helpful, funny, interactive... and every positive adjective I can think of. I kept picking things and thinking "too old for a twenty something?" and finally I just told the charming employee what I was looking for, a bit about the person's taste, why I was buying and she immediately plucked off the display EXACTLY what I had envisioned in my mind! If you haven't visited, they do tours (good for kids) on hand silk screening, you can buy silk ready to "do it yourself" and they just have some beautiful stuff. I'm not a big scarf person but if I had the money to buy several of the big velvet and silk scarfs, they would have been a stunning valance in one of my rooms at home! I hope you go and enjoy their products and genuine charm as much as I did!
