Located on lovely Kaivopuisto waterfront, this place is the Buckingham Palace of…read moresecondhand/consignment stores. Possibly my favorite place to spend an hour or two perusing for treasures. There's a lot of junk (again...I really hate when people try to sell their old junky H&M crap and promotional t-shirts and such when they really ought to just be donated to people who can use them) but also a lot of great stuff to be found. Shoes, dishware, jeans (my favorite!), handbags, etc...there really is something for everyone. The underground, mouse-maze aesthetic of the space makes shopping here even more fun. I think their booth rental prices start at around 50e/week. On my almost-daily walks through Kaivopuisto, I almost-daily stop in to see what's new. Best Kirppis in Helsinki so far for my taste and wallet.

I love vintage clothing and try to shop 2nd hand whenever possible. I stumbled upon this gem…read moreduring a trip to the supermarket and I'm so glad I did! Since my first visit I've accumulated quite a few awesome, smaller sized items (the store is focused on men's wear, but stocks small sizes and unisex stuff for the ladies) including a Gucci sweater, Pendleton wool shirt, and Carhartt work pants. They have a lot of mint condition brand names to choose from, and quite a variety (har,har) of styles and brands represented. The owner is helpful and conversational, as well as knowledgable about his stock. If you love vintage clothing and are in Helsinki, this should be your first stop!

Cool pieces but a very small shop and kind of awkward. In the photos it looks much bigger but it…read moreactually is quite small and doesn't have many racks. Also it was quite pricey. If you're willing to spend a few extra bucks for vintage designer pieces like Kappa or Champion, (they also have vintage sports jerseys) this is a great option for you. I guess it depends when you go and when they restock and get new items.

I wondered where reviews were so decided to make my own!…read more Pretty shop, with many funny and unusual stuff, that can remind u about your childhood or youth also a lot clothes and expensive antiquities Prices are affordable.

This is the weirdest place I've been to in a while and I have been to some really f*cked up places…read morein my life (wink wink...San Francisco...ahem). You go through a tiny storefront that smells like Grannie's attic and amble back through a narrow room full of granny's old furniture before creaking down a staircase into an underground lair full of other peoples' old junk. However, there can be finds to be found and I dig the weird vibe. Not big on kid's things (kind of thankful for that), but a lot of vintage-y stuff for the creative at heart. I am not even a little creative, so I probably won't be frequenting the joint. Mom tip: Not stroller friendly, kid friendly, or even kid interesting. If you do want to pop in (and I strongly suggest you do - it's a weird little place), I'd hit it solo or with a kid attached to your person. I will add that the space is so big and there is so much stuff that even though I didn't find anything either time I went, I spent about an hour there. Happy Hunting!

Garageland is an amazing store with top notch customer service! While browsing online, I saw a…read moreTatyana dress featured on their website that I simply had to have. I live in the United States, but it felt as if I was doing business with someone locally. Ville responded to my emails in a prompt and friendly manner, and my dress was shipped promptly. It was truly a pleasure doing business with him, and I would recommend Garageland to any fan of vintage inspired fashion! :)
