on the 20the Paris Quarter, a unique concept thrift store opened its doors last month. Lined up like a robbed bank, the place drops prices over the course of days.
The heist of the century takes place in the north of Paris. Les Sales Voleurs, an innovative thrift store, opened its doors three weeks ago on rue D’Avron. The principle is simple: all clothes are used and sold at the same prices, from coats to shoes, including knitted sweaters and pleated trousers. In addition, their amount decreases throughout the week. It goes from €4.50 on Sunday, to €3.50 on Monday, €2.50 on Tuesday, €1.50 on Wednesday, finally finishing the race at €0.95 on Thursday. Save: This is suggested by the amazing decor of the place.

Dirty thieves so aptly named. The entrance to the shop looks like a robbed bank with its ATMs, the main wall of which has been demolished by a large crowd. The buyer then arrives at the secure room. Each is named after a famous person. The shelves with the names of Scarlett Johansson, Asap Rocky, Ray Charles or Lionel Messi give the illusion of being open in each lock. It is in this room that the customer can rummage, dig, examine the large trash cans, looking for scraps… Not gold, but of course clothes.
A secondhand treasure hunt
Restocking takes place every Friday and Sunday. The clothes bins are full and the supply is changing completely. One principle remains. the items on offer are always very eclectic with a wide range of styles, seasons and sizes. Children’s down jackets rub shoulders with 4XL linen pants. And since there is no sorting, a designer piece can be hidden in there. You still have to be patient to find what you are looking for, the thrift store is small and the fans are many. The price of success, perhaps. The barely open sign is already causing a sensation on social networks. Just like the other company whose founder made himself famous.
Get dressed and hack!
The man behind this concept of dirty thieves is none other than Anis Mesadek, a 34-year-old entrepreneur who “cuts prices” in Paris. Indeed, he is the originator of Mangez and Cassez-Vous restaurants, where homemade burgers cost less than 3 euros. The brands present in the capital’s three boroughs are all very successful, with plenty to prove it. He had previously opened two other thrift stores in Paris with mini prices, with names worthy of generations of Elon Musk; Zxsbn6dd3vzbgzy. All coins are sold there for a fixed amount of €2.85. Perhaps this thrift store is just the first in a long line of bargains.
If Anis Messadek is very reserved, preferring not to engage in interviews, he nevertheless conveys his message to those he meets, to make the essentials available to everyone, from clothes to food. He thus navigates between fields without abandoning his convictions or losing an ounce of creativity. Therefore, we dare to go there not with our hands in the air, but with our eyes closed.
