One of my favorite shops when I do tours of St. Ouen/Clingancourt flea market is Au Grenier de Lucie Vintage Jewelry. Owned by a delightful, British couple, Heidi and Jason Ellis, Au Grenier de Lucie has a vast and gorgeous selection of high-end vintage jewelry, accessories, and clothing. The glass vitrines are dripping with vintage jewelry from Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Schiaparelli, Miriam Haskell, Guy Laroche, Lanvin, Trifari, Monet, and Joseff. One of their other specialties is an extensive collection of Haute Couture Christian Lacroix jewelry, with some very rare pieces.
Living in England and working as schoolteachers, Heidi always had a passion for fashion and in 2009, they took a risk, sold their house, moved to Paris, and opened Au Grenier de Lucie. Jason’s parents already owned two shops in the market, and they helped secure their location. They travel all over Europe and England during the week to find more jewelry treasures. Heidi is tall and thin, with long, brown hair, and she’s the perfect model for their merchandise. Check out the fab earrings she’s wearing in the photo above.
Please tell Heidi and Jason I said bonjour when you visit.
