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. I bought a cozy picture for 2.5 e.g. The feature that I liked more, that their cashier (according to his words) bakes and sells his own cakes. It was nice, thanks!

The number one vintage boutique in Helsinki. Rare finds and big price tags, but so worth the visit…read more Top hats, feathers, sequins and rhinestones. This shop is often featured in Finnish fashion magazines as the source of special items in photoshoots. Ranges from fashionable retro stuff to delicate antiques.

The best vintage clothing store I've ever been to in THE WORLD. This is not a thrift shop or second…read morehand store; it's not cheap but the best quality vintage shouldn't be. It feels filled with wonder and history like a museum but cozy and inviting like someone's home. (There is even an adorable dog sleeping peacefully in shop). You will find women's clothing for all occasions and seasons and a wide array of accessories and underpinnings. There's even a men's section, which looked impressive too. Amazing selection aside, the owner is so knowledgeable and kind. She knows the origins of every piece in her shop. I stumbled upon the store by accident and ended up spending hours trying on wedding dresses and evening gowns, learning a lot about vintage clothing history in the process. There is an impressive amount of dead stock items too. I can't wait to return here, it was a really special place.

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!

From the owner: We specialise in Finnish vintage gems for example vintage Marimekko and Vuokko.read more

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.

Shocking I found another Thrift store in Helsinki…read more They open early at 9am which was great since most everything else in this town seemed to open between 10-1130am. Mostly clothing. If you're in the market used clothes and handbags this shop is for you. I'm more of a 2nd hand housewares and toys hunter. I did score - - a bunch of kids books -- I hope my suitcase isn't over weight - funky retro tourist apron from Mallorca The staff was nice. I truly left my cell phone at the checkouts. Not only was it there when I went back no one even noticed it was there!

A Most Excellent Place to visit in Helsinki! This is a two story resale/used clothing store with…read morelots of great clothes to choose from. The top floor when you enter is the "boutique" items and the lower floor has so much stuff it would almost be impossible not find anything in the women's dept. The men's dept is smaller, but it's there and I posted some pictures. My greatest find was Guess jeans that I almost paid over $100 usd at the Guess store, except they didn't have my size, and I got them here in new condition for less than $20 usd. If you are on a cruise and looking for stops in Helsinki, find this on the map. When we went there was a parade for the Ex-President which pretty much closed down the town. All of the antique/collectible shops were CLOSED. Uff is a chain store and I believe there are more than one locations. Good chance they will be open while you are there. Definitely check them out. There net proceeds go to a good cause. Friendly people work there. Don't miss it

A great thrift store in the center of Helsinki, and an easy walk from the train station…read more They had a good selection of stuff, knick knacks and clothing alike - even a few pieces of furniture in the back. It was pretty cheap for Finland. Still a lot more expensive than in the states, or in some other european countries, but it's Helsinki! Everything's expensive. Still, I found a nice vintage bathing suit for 12 euros, and a summer skirt for 7. That's about 1/10th of what things cost in the department stores, so I'd call it a wonderful bargain, and a fun place to poke around in the afternoon.

Very cute little store in Kallio. The owner was kind enough to help me in English and I was able to…read morefind a couple of one of a kind souvenirs that were distinctly Finnish. If I lived in Helsinki I would go there a lot more!
