Emmaus is by far my number-one second-hand shopping stop in Stockholm. And that's not a statement…read moreto 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 100 SEK - 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!

As an American thrift-lover visiting Sweden with my Swedish husband for the first time, the reason…read moreI spent WAY too long in this thrift store was because I was enamored with the intriguing Swedish history that was on pretty much every shelf and/or display. So much ooh'ing and aww'ing. I tell you this store was very dangerous for me and my wallet and I remember it every time I look reminiscently at the items I purchased. Bring your English-Swedish translator of choice -- do not expect the very kind employees to be fluent in English.

The website is really user friendly; you can look at each item online and filter by category. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, and there's also a section of the store where you can pay for someone to help you repaint or rework the furniture piece you're buying. Great if you find the perfect piece but would like it freshened up, the color changed etc.

Worth the trip!…read more It's a little bit out of the way from the main, central parts of Stockholm, but it's easily accessibly by subway and the Acne Archiye is worth an hour of your time. It's a small store and you won't necessarily go in and "find" what you're looking for but instead, a unique piece or two might "find" you. The store has a whole range of Acne clothes and accessories, usually from older collections. It has a totally, totally different vibe from the other Acne stores in the city and feels almost a bit like thrifting. Great organization and emphasis on color coding and I'm always impressed by the range of different textiles and fabrics they have for sale.

The best is that everything is priced like a used Acne item in the states, but it is new! Despite the decent selection, they do not have everything from the last seasons, so if you're looking for something in particular, then you might be disappointed.

The Stockholm one has less stock but better prices.
