The Top Second Hand Shops In Milan
Milan or vintage galore?!
Alright, it’s true... no one ever dresses badly here.
For a city that is always evolving, there is one thing the Milanese never leave behind and that is: style. Sweatpants? Forget it.
I mean, we are surrounded by events, cameras and models for a big chunk of the year so it makes sense. Whether you’re going to the city centre, the post office or simply walking around running errands, one must always dress the part because you never know who you could run into!
Just as anything in Milan, second hand shops or ‘thrift stores’ are quite different— it’s more about quality than quantity. There are different types: (vintage couture, vintage; markets) and certainly different price ranges.
Also, just like anything else here, they are all hidden throughout the city so we have made the proper local list for you!
Sweatpants? Forget it.
#1. Humana Vintage
Humana is by far the cheapest option! They have discounts every two weeks ranging from 30-50% off and for some weeks items are even available for only €10. There are 3 different locations quite close to each other, so make sure to check them all out to find the best deals!
