yes, there's a great secondhand store sellling chanel and hermes bags. It's in St Germain-de-Pres area near Bon Marche. I don't remember the name of the street! Argh! It's a pedestrian area -- two names are Rue de Cannettes and Rue Princess.
Lots of vintage black Chanel, scarves and jewelry.

With the assistance of TPF member Roo who posted a great list of secondhand shops on a thread titled Parisians and Chanel? in the Chanel Forum on January 15, 2008 I visited a few secondhand shops duringmy trip in April.
I visited Griff Troc which had a black Chanel backpack and a lot fo small accessories. They don't do VAT refunds.
I visited Reciproque which is several shops organized by category along a street. The shop with bags had a one or two Chanel items...more Hermes than anything. I ran into the wife of Samuel L Jackson (the actor) at this shop, she was browsing vintgae Hermes!
I also visited Dept-Vente du 17eme. They had the nicest shop of the three to me as far as the way the items were displayed. They had a large white Chanel tote, a bronze python Chanel bag, Chanel shoes and some small Chanel accessories. Another reason I liked this shop was that they were the only one of the three that did VAT refund paperwork for you. Sylvia was also very easy to speak with in English...the other shops I had a lot of difficulty trying to communicate.
I didn't think of visiting these shops until late in my trip so I didn't get to go to more unfortunately. On my next trip to Paris I would definitely skip all the retail shops and spend several days browsing through these shops for great finds!
Here is Roo's list again for anyone that is interested:

I guess thats to me? lol
Overwhelmed with work and wedding planning ...I get on here every blue moon though!
Thanks Mon! Lake Las Vegas Resort in Henderson, NV in September!
Can't wait! I better not see any tempting Chanel items this year because there is NO budget for it now! I still need to share pics from the Paris Chanel shop. Hopefully I can get to it soon.

Best Wishes to you on your wedding!

Just found the business card I had saved from the trip to Paris with my daughter this past summer. Antiquites de I'lle Saint-Louis is located at 20, rue des Deux Ponts, 75004 Paris, and has soem excellent vintage Chanel purses.
Many thanks to BlkLadyLaw for her recommendations in this thread. My daughter and I checked some of the shops but came up empty as there wasn't much available at the time.
Best regards.
