After complaining of the "painful" shopping experiences in Saint-Tropez, French street style photographer and blogger Garance Doré launched her much-liked thrift store in the paradise on the French Riviera, Le Marché du Marin.
Le Marché du Marin carries a ton of boating-inspired pieces, including the wicker bag (see gallery) that Doré picked up for herself on her shopping trip. It’s one of those boutique vintage stores for people who dislike a more traditional vintage shop filled with fruitless searches and smelly clothes (like Doré).
