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!

These guys run their business under the claim that everything they sell is old and therefor they…read moreare not subjected to following Swedish law on return policy. They have some cool stuff but it is utter nonsense that stuff they claim is antique is actually antique. One guy tried to convince me that a brand new pair of glasses was from the 50s. They were CE marked, which was introduced in 1985. Anyway, since they claim that everything they sell is old youare not allowed to return anything. Be aware! Personally I will never shop there again. Tothe person who thinks they are only nice to Swedes. Nope! They are pretty much a-holes to whoever if the situation doesn't benefit them.

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.
