Mercato Bolivar: the go-to second-hand hotspot in central and northeast Paris

Do you love hunting for hidden gems, snagging unique pieces, or giving items a second life? Then head straight to Mercato—right now.

Mercato runs two Parisian shops: one in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris and the other in the 19th arrondissement. Two must-visit spots for the second-hand scene. A genuine second-hand market—modern and socially conscious—definitely worth a visit!

A concept store the way we like it:

Mercato shakes up the rules of classic consignment shops. Here there are no cluttered aisles or sterile displays: products are showcased in a bright, well-organized space that's a pleasure to wander.

What makes Mercato stand out is its diversity. You’ll find clothing for every style (from vintage to luxury pieces), but also refurbished tech, cameras, retro video games, vinyl records, books, musical instruments, and even home appliances. A true Aladdin’s cave, only responsibly sourced and thoughtfully curated.

But Mercato isn’t just a store: it’s a hub for exchange and meeting people. The team regularly hosts events: themed sales, designer pop-ups, DIY workshops, seasonal cocktails… All in a friendly, open-to-all vibe. A place where second-hand meets good vibes.

A terrace and a coffee shop to discover in the 19th arrondissement:

Good news for shoppers in northeast Paris: the Mercato store in the 19th arrondissement now houses a warm coffee shop and a sunny terrace. Perfect for a break between aisles, or simply to enjoy a good coffee after you’ve found the rare gem. You might even encounter animations or workshops on certain days. A true convivial pause in everyday life.

As you swing by Mercato, embrace a more ethical approach—without ever sacrificing pleasure.

Every item is carefully curated and inspected before it hits the shelves.

You can also drop off your own items there to give them a second life.
