What an awful excuse for a thrift shop. If you want to pay basically new prices for used clothes…read morefrom the 1920's til 1970's that are hideous, then this is your store. If you are a normal thrift shopper you will find nothing here except expensive pieces from the past and none of any resale value. The location is good, right in the center for easy access and the selection is huge, a large basement type area makes up the bulk of the store. Their prices range, but hover around 200 nok+ per item. If you ask me, that isn't a thrift store at all, that's a rip off. They also offer 90 nok and 50 nok racks sometimes, which are very limited and don't really offer nice things anyways. Overall I wouldn't go back to this store, wasn't my thing and was way too expensive for no reason and also smelled bad.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, this is such a great concept and I wish I had thought of it! I…read morelove all things retro and mid century, and I love hot drinks and treats too, so Retrolykke Kaffebar is a natural fit! The proprietor was so friendly, and she was curious about where I was from since I was speaking english. I told her Seattle and she thought that was cool. She also showed this interest in a young couple that came in a little after me... they too were from Seattle and had just moved here like me! The gal exclaimed this was definitely meant to be! And I agree! Anyway, I ordered the Varm Sjokolade (hot chocolate) I can easily say it's the best I've ever had. It was a huge cup meant for slow sipping while browsing the cool vintage items displayed for sale. I enjoyed my time at Retrolykke Kaffebar. It was so good, so cozy, and so friendly it can easily be a regular stop for me.

5/5 for opening in Oslo and for such great concept! There are loads of stores like this one in…read moreSweden, so it was about time it came to Oslo as well. The store is based on voluntarily work and they say the money will go to Oslo and their work here, which sounds just great! The concept: Donate your clothes and tell their story! You have to donate directly to the store. The store has fewer clothes than other second hand stores I have seen but that is part of the concept. The clothes are all clean and ready to be worn. You go to this store to support a good case and to find a piece of second hand that is gently worn has a story to tell. Thus, you find both bikbok and Ferner Jacobsen here, and may find something unique too! The prices were a bith high, but no reason to worry. Even though the pumps are worn by a celebrity, 3000kr is a tad bit more than I am willing to pay. However, maybe you are? It seems they focus on high end clothes,vintage and known brands? Will come here again, and also bring some clothes to donate.

This store is in the city centre and their latest one. It is tidy and appetizing - makes me want to…read morebuy something. The shop assistants are very nice and they have arranged clothes by colors. Moreover, they have a design section where the clothes are more pricy. I bought a Dior blouse there, though it is fake, I will keep it and remind myself that the money go to a good cause and that I found a Designers Remix sweater to 60kr, so it sort of evens up to a good price :) They also sell redesign, some books and records.

I was visiting Oslo and wanted to buy a traditional vintage hand knit sweater or cardigan. I passed…read moreby this store on my way to a restaurant around the corner one night (store was already closed) and came back the next day. They have a couple clothing racks with just Norwegian hams knits. I bought a great long cardigan/sweater coat - hand knit wool - for just $60. All other sweaters ranged about $50-$60 which I think is a great price. The rest of the selection of other vintage items in the store I wasn't too crazy about - but I'm comparing to vintage stores in NYC and Brooklyn. Store itself is nice and clean and all merchandise is nicely organized. There's another vintage store in the area called Uff. I liked Fretex more. Bur in general both of these stores are more like thrift shops rather than true vintage.

Staff was nice, and the place was filled with colors, but I did not see one thing that was vintage…read more Many of the styles offered inside were colors and cuts that were meant to look vintage, but it's quite disappointing when this place is featured in online lists as a place that has vintage and then there was truly not a thing actually vintage. All the online places that shout this place out need to be clear that the styles may look vintage, but the clothes are new.

I thought this place was one of the best 'vintage' stores I have visited in Oslo. But then again,…read moreI haven't been to many places...and while this is called 'Velouria Vintage', I think it is more of a used goods store, not true vintage. I just don't consider an oversized Bart Simpson t-shirt from 1999 vintage. But nevertheless, there were some good finds throughout the place. The location was great as you can just hop off of trikk 11, 12, or 13 at Olaf Reyes Plass and walk up the hill a little and it'll be on the right hand side. The hours are wonderful. I love when places stay open until 7pm because it gives people who have a job (ie. almost everyone) a chance to shop when they are off of work. This place had quirky dresses, jackets, boots, purses, etc. Lots of band t-shirts as well (again, not necessarily vintage but more used). I am used to hundreds of vintage stores in the US, so it is really hard to rate a place that does Oslo well, but is not really all that good. That is how I describe this place. It is good for Oslo, but would quickly go under anywhere else. With that said, I'll definitely check this over-priced place out every once in a while to see what I can come up with.
