Emmaus is by far my number-one second-hand shopping stop in Stockholm. And that’s not a statement to be taken lightly — I live on Södermalm, home of plenty of vintage and second-hand shops, and I visit them regularly. I am a total second-hand addict. Choose something with massive shoulder pads, call it vintage, and triple the price? No thanks. I prefer real second-hand — it’s a treasure hunt of good deals. And Emmaus is the best! Why? For one, their selection is always changing. It’s close to my work so sometimes I go there multiple days in a row and always see new things. It’s also affordable. If you’re shopping second hand then you don’t want to end up paying a lot. Some shops on Södermalm, like Stadsmission by Nytorget, jack up the prices to ridiculous levels, but Emmaus has second-hand prices as they should be. You can easily get a great new dress for anything from 50 to 100SEK — and sometimes they have sales where all dresses(for instance) are half off! The staff here do know their brands, so if you find something by a designer then it will typically reflect that in the price. But it will still be a great bargain! People are friendly here, and you can put an item on layaway for a day. Sometimes they even have ‘parties’ during the summer where they offer free snacks and have a DJ, which makes for a fun and unique thrifting experience. I always end up finding something here — a dress, a book I’ve been meaning to read, a gorgeous set of vintage tea cups, the Swedish game kubb, a new hat, beautiful t-strap heels. There’s something for everyone if you just look!
