ThriftTale: Our Vintage Store with A Modern Mindset

In our vintage store, we’re all about bringing you the clothes you crave, without the stuff that sucks.

Buying new clothes causes:

• Pollution from production.
• Waste from what we no longer wear.

And those sustainable brands? They just aren’t always accessible, or affordable.

But our vintage store makes it easy to shop sustainably.

 

What makes our vintage store different?

We don't just sell any old clothes; we hand-pick the best vintage brands and styles. So we can bring you the stuff that’s always in-demand, and individual.

 

Hand-picked and carefully curated.

Our product specialists are on the pulse of the current (and classic) trends. They know what clothes you’re searching for, maybe even before you do.

• In our vintage store, you’ll find only our curated selection of unique vintage. We don’t do filler. Every item is high quality and has a little something special about it.
• You might not know what you’ll find on the next hanger, but you know it will always be something pretty cool.

The next thing you pick up could be that elusive One you’ve been searching for!

 

Our clothes are expertly authenticated.

But, when you’re shopping in a vintage store, you do want to know what you’re buying is legit.

Whether that's a designer brand or a unique, handmade shirt from 1975, our authenticators inspect every item by hand, to guarantee what we sell is what we say it is.

 

Vintage fashion is slow, but shopping at our store is speedy.

Got a party tomorrow? Seen something and need it now? Fast fashion stores have made us convenience addicts, but they cost our planet much more than our wallets.

Here’s how we’re bringing you that same shopping convenience, without contributing to the world’s overconsumption:

 

Central shopping.

• Just like big-name retailers, our vintage stores are located right in city centers.
• We’re a short walk from the central train stations, so you don’t have to go far to find us.

 

Aesthetic experience.

• It’s not just about buying clothes; it’s about the good vibes. Stepping into our vintage store Is like slipping on a '70s Aran sweater. It’s cozy; it’s classic. It’s for sure a great aesthetic. Warm lighting, good music, and great clothes immerse you in our little vintage haven.
• And we’ve done all the hard thrifting work for you. So you don’t have to dig through the duds to find a gem. Only the best make it in store.
• We’re always organized too. Our clothes are sorted into categories and labeled with their decade. We proudly keep it clean and curated for you.

 

Smooth sizing.

• Our vintage clothes are tagged with modern EU sizes. From current XXS to XXXXL, there’s no more trying to work out what an old vintage size actually means. You can simply shop for your modern size.
• And with changing rooms in the store, you can try on what you find. So you don’t have to do any guesswork standing in the store holding a shirt under your chin wondering, “Will this suit me?”.

 

Our collections are constantly updated.

Old doesn’t mean have to mean outdated. You can find something new in our vintage store every week.

• With almost 10,000 items in store, you’re spoiled for choice. And we don’t let it get stale, either. Every week, we swap out some old styles, and bring in the new.
• Looking for sequins for the holiday season? Corduroy for fall? Florals for spring? We’re always prepared with our seasonal swaps.

 

Clothes as clean as your conscience.

You don’t need to take a trip to the dry cleaners before you can wear it either. The clothes in our vintage store are always:

• Washed. There are no smells, unexpected stains or strange surprises in the pockets!
• Ironed. Our clothes are crease-free and neatly hung up.
• Ready to wear. So you’re ready to go!

 

What styles do we sell in our vintage store?

You’ve got good taste in clothes. But we also know we all like something a little different. So we’ve got a little something for you, no matter what style you’re searching for.

 

The best vintage brands, at their best vintage quality.

In our vintage store, you’ll find the brands and designers you know, but at the quality they used to create.

Live your peak ‘90s life in oldschool streetwear brands.

• Vintage Nike sweatshirts, retro Adidas joggers, and Ellesse windbreakers. It’s all about those nostalgic logos and loose ‘fits.

Or look for something more luxurious.

• With authentic vintage designer clothes from Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Armani, and Dolce & Gabanna, you can get a bit of that designer style, with all the vintage character.

 

Good Jeans

Authentic denim is a hot category in our vintage store for good reason: it lasts. We want to pass some good jeans down to you.

• Everyone just needs a pair of Levi’s 501s. 
• Or maybe you’re more into Wranglers’ relaxed vibes?

Pair them with a preppy Ralph Lauren polo shirt and a classic Carhartt coat. Or deck yourself in some ‘90s North Face, for a real retro ‘fit. 

 

We got that classic thing that you like. 

We also sell our collection online. As Europe’s largest online vintage store and secondhand retailer, you can find something special with us 24/7, from the comfort of your couch.

 

Express without the excess.

And you still don’t have to compromise on convenience. Our online vintage store has:

• 30,000 items online
• Fresh drops every week.
• (Almost always) Next day delivery. You'll have it in your wardrobe tomorrow!
• Recycled shipping packaging, and emissions-conscious couriers.
• Free returns within the Netherlands, easy elsewhere. So if it doesn’t fit, you’re not stuck.

There’s no simpler way to shop sustainably than to shop secondhand with ThriftTale.
