Ira Shorina
It's no secret that vintage stores in Berlin are super popular and favored by many fashionistas all over Europe. Besides being able to find stylish pieces in your collection, most of the time, they are also pretty affordable. Check 'em out!
PICKNWEIGHT - VINTAGE KILO STORE
Münzstraße 19
Shopping • Casual • Local
Pick-n-Weight has 4 locations across Berlin. The one on Münzstraße offers unique designer pieces on the first floor (obviously more expensive) and vintage on the second. They have lots of old-school tees, jackets, and an extensive range of accessories (including many belts and scarves). Bit overpriced but worth the visit!
2. Pauls Boutique/Berlin
Oderberger Straße 47
Shopping • Hip • Casual
Such a funky place to go thrifting, with comics, robots, marvel characters, dolls, and vintage boomboxes hanging up on the walls! Insane amount of jeans, jackets, hoodies, shirts, bags in many sizes. Love!
3. Archive Berlin
Rosenthaler Straße 72
Casual • Local • Vintage
Good place on Rosenthalerstraße where you can really find a gem from high-end designer houses and streetwear brands. This place offers a wide selection of clothes, and I especially liked their t-shirts. Accommodating, friendly staff.
4. HUMANA Secondhand & Vintage
Oranienburger Straße 87
Shopping • Casual • Local
A thrift store with a fantastic selection of outerwear. Looks a bit plain on the outside, but once you step in and start digging - you'll find a lot of cheap options that are great in quality!
5. Not Too Sweet
Weserstr. 165
Other • Hip • Local
This vintage store on Weserstraße is a BIPOC, women-owned sustainable brand that focuses on ethical and cruelty-free options. Their goal is to have a space that embraces diversity and sustainability. There you can find ethical jewelry, reworked vintage from Berlin designers, and vintage clothing, of course.
6. HAHAYOUREUGLY Vintage + Secondhand
Warschauer Straße 76
Shopping • Hip • Vintage
Eclectic boutique with a wide selection of carefully picked vintage and accessories. You can find affordable and more expensive options; the store offers brands from DHL, Nike, and Kappa to Evisu, Fendi, Jil Sander, Christian Dior, and so on.
