The joy of thrifting. As you know, at Scrunchie, we love thrift stores and vintage… So when we discovered the world of Fripouille Vintage on Instagram, we fell in love. In fact, we even dedicated one of our scarves to her... The Diane ! Diane is revolutionizing the concept of thrifting: she thrifts for her customers and resells them through her Instagram. Now that's genius...

Tell us about Fripouille Vintage, what is it?
Fripouille Vintage is an online store on Instagram where I post vintage pieces every day that I present on pretty models.

Where did the idea come from?
I've always loved bargain hunting ! Ever since I was a teenager , I've enjoyed finding unique pieces that aren't the ones everyone can find everywhere . Although I do occasionally buy pieces from more common brands (H&M, Zara, etc.), it's very rare...

How do you select your pieces?
I always select pieces that I like ! That is to say; I ask myself if I could wear them myself . So it really depends on my tastes ! I can't sell a product that I don't like at first glance.
-
Do you have any specific places to go hunting?
Hunting for bargains is a daily job for me. I hunt everywhere ! I buy from day to day and generally find what I want in charity shops.
-
How do customers shop for your pieces?
For a few days now, I've been implementing a simpler and clearer system . I post two articles per day : one at 12 p.m. and the other at 8 p.m. When you like an article, just send me a message (very) quickly because the ( pieces go fast!) and I 'll give you all the information and how the payment works . I ship worldwide !
Your purchases arrive in small pouches!

Do you have a schedule to follow for the coming months?
I'm soon releasing a collection in collaboration with a French brand ... Otherwise I'm going to keep the same system I just launched for the two posts per day!
-
Where can customers find out about sales dates, locations, etc.?
I share all of this in my stories ! And if you have a question, don't hesitate to send me a private message !
-
What are your daily inspirations?
Everything ! I always have one eye open when I walk down the street , I pay attention to every detail. I'm really curious !
-
Do you have any ambitions for the future?
I would like to go and live abroad ... But for now I'm staying in Paris and we 'll see where Fripouille takes me!
-
How far do you want to take Fripouille Vintage?
I'm really doing my dream job ! But I have to admit that I'm not as organized as I am in everyday life . So I 'm letting time do its work ! The project is progressing really well, so I can't wait to see what happens next.
-
Do you have any desires for growth? To create your own brand?
I would love to create my own brand , but it's not really urgent ! Even though I admit that I'm already starting to collect a few inspirational pieces ...

With Diane , mornings begin with Queen to the tune of I want to break free - we can easily imagine the funky moment in the bathroom.
She often adds a touch of ecru to her style - we dream of one day being able to enter her beautiful wardrobe ...
