Viva La Vintage: The New Status Symbol

1/Off Paris is the luxury label creating genderless clothes upcycled from second-hand gems and old designer vintage, ensuring its Dutch co-founders, Xuan-Thu and Renée van Wijngaarden, couldn’t be better placed to offer their recommendations for vintage shopping. The brand sources pieces that can be blended into a cohesive collection and this season is all about reimagining tailoring: spliced denim and Chanel tweed jackets, crisp white shirts with double Ralph Lauren collars, trench coats cut with oversized lapels and lined with Burberry’s signature check. We let these experts in reinvention and secondhand gold dust, tell us where they love to buy their vintage in the French capital.
