I wish we had one of these in Stockholm!
Swappis has a brilliant business model - one which I've seen plenty in the US, but not in Sweden. It's a thrift shop, sure, like any other - but not like any other. You can donate your clothes here and get points to shop with!
Basically, if you bring in your old clothes then you get half off on the new-used items here.
It's a lot of fun - the shop is colourful, kitschy and vibrant, and when I was there it was haphazardly sorted after decade. They use old records and lamps and posters in their décor, and even the dressing rooms are glamorous.
It's a true treasure trove, with a lot of junk but great gems as well, like any second hand store. And the atmosphere and opportunity to swap in your old items makes it a favourite for me!
I found an adorable 30s-looking floral dress, probably from the 60s or 70s, but definitely with vintage flair. It was 90 kronor - just 45 if you drop off donations. How can you beat that?
Hopefully they open in Stockholm soon! read more
