Stockholm is a beautiful city with beautiful people. One can’t help notice the great fashion you see just walking around. Buying clothing in Stockholm is expensive, so I took it upon myself to do a little thrifting. Here’s some of the best in Stockholm thrift shops.
SoFo District:
SoFo is a neighborhood in Stockholm that can best be described as ‘the hipster neighborhood’ of Stockholm. A great place to walk around to soak up some culture, regardless of if you want to buy clothing. I spent a little time visiting some shops, and I’ve marked my little adventure on the map with some apt descriptions.
Stockholms Stadmission:
A true thrift-shop in the sense that most of the clothing looks donated. It’s very un-curated and you’ll have to dig through the racks a bit. I liked this place, but I couldn’t find anything that fit. If you like wearing things that truly look like they were owned by an old Swede, look no further.
Lisa Larssons et al.:
This store is actually a few different ones side-by-side, the Lisa variety offering just Women’s clothing. It’s very curated and thus a little more expensive. Personally, I didn’t find anything that would suit my travel wardrobe, but it’s great for some more outlandish finds. The staff was quite crunchy.
POP Stockholm:
Located right beside Stockholms Stadmission, this store sells mainly new clothing, but for thrift store prices. I ended up buying a few t-shirts here that looked great and didn’t cost much. They have some pretty funky patterns and lots of cool stuff, so I highly recommend checking this place out.
Katarina Ölkafé:
This isn’t a store, but it’s a great place to grab a sandwich and some local beer after some shopping. The interior and decor of the bar is top-notch and definitely worth checking out if you like interior design. Small, cozy, and hip I’m definitely a fan of this bar. After 5:00 PM it really starts to fill up and it might be hard to find somewhere to sit.
Other Neighborhoods:
Shopping is really mentally exhausting, so there are no other neighborhoods covered. Just go to SoFo and walk around.
This previously industrial neighborhood is a cultural gem. You can really sink your teeth into the cafe culture and find some cool shops and bars as well.
Hopefully you find a little vintage Fjällräven in some Stockholm thrift shops.
