It doesn’t always have to be brand-new: secondhand items often still serve you well and are more affordable. Add to that the aspect of sustainability, which motivates many people to give old items a new lease on life. If you’re currently caught up in vintage fever and want to shop for secondhand items beyond just flea markets, then you should definitely check out these Munich stores . Here you’ll find absolutely everything—from clothing and jewelry to books and furniture, right down to tableware and home decor!
Vintage Fabrik
Vintage Fabrik has locations in several cities and is situated in a particularly central spot on Sendlinger Straße in Munich. The store is particularly bright, welcoming, and so well-organized that it’s every bit as good as any clothing store selling new merchandise. Here you’ll find a large selection of trendy clothes and accessories, all neatly sorted by color. There’s also an online store in case you can’t find what you’re looking for in person or prefer to shop from home on rainy days.
Vintage Revivals
If you like the Vintage Fabrik, you’ll also feel right at home at Vintage Revivals. The chain is also present in several cities and has an online store as well. The pieces are particularly stylish and , true to the motto “Contemporary Second Hand , ” follow current fashion trends without resembling mass-produced items. You can’t go wrong with a visit here.
Weißer Rabe
If you’re looking to buy not just clothing but also furniture, electronics, and more secondhand, the Weißer Raben is the place for you. You’ll find these secondhand stores at three locations in Munich: one in Ludwigsvorstadt, one in Westend, and one in Sendling. With your purchase, you’re not only saving money and making a sustainable choice, but you’re also supporting long-term job seekers. If you’d like to get rid of something yourself, the stores welcome your donations of goods.
The Munich Readery
You can also buy secondhand books in Munich. The Munich Readery in Maxvorstadt specializes in English-language secondhand literature and has been a top destination for bookworms and avid readers for 20 years now. You can even snag some new reading material without spending a single cent! All you have to do is bring your old books from home and trade them for others. In addition, the Munich Readery regularly hosts readings and writing workshops that you can attend.
MACY
You’ll find particularly high-quality fashion at MACY in Haidhausen. This store places a high value on quality, so you can be sure that every item has been carefully inspected. The selection here is curated accordingly and also features several designer brands. At MACY, both women and men will find what they’re looking for, and you’ll feel like you’re in a chic boutique rather than a secondhand store.
Hall 2
The Halle 2 Thrift Store is the go-to spot for secondhand shopping. You’ll find just about everything here —from furniture, tableware, and home decor to CDs, books, musical instruments, toys, and electronics. The items come directly from the city’s recycling centers and are all still in good condition and fully functional. The goal of the initiative is to reduce the city’s waste and give usable secondhand items a new lease on life.
Fundgruber
If you still need a traditional outfit for the next Oktoberfest, you should stop by Fundgruber. Here you’ll find everything you need for your perfect look at the Wiesn or the Frühlingsfest. Whether it’s dirndls, blouses, lederhosen, or Jankers, you’re in good hands at Fundgruber. But the 100-square-meter space doesn’t just offer traditional costumes—it also features secondhand clothing and jewelry for every occasion. From Prada to streetwear, you’ll find it all here.
Capricorn
Capricorn has been in the Glockenbachviertel since 2016 and has been riding a wave of success ever since. The concept store, which started out as a purely secondhand shop, now offers a mix of pre-loved and new fashion. While the new retail area features mainly Scandinavian fashion, the secondhand section offers beautiful designer items for purchase. The selection is rounded out by accessories and stationery, which are particularly well-suited for gifts.
The second Gerdismann
In many secondhand shops, it’s mainly women who find what they’re looking for. Gerdismann in Maxvorstadt defies this trend: Here, you’ll find exclusively men’s fashion. The store on Barerstraße sells the finest secondhand menswear “for men with style,” as he himself emphasizes. Here you’ll find hand-picked items from renowned labels such as Dior, Patagonia, and Yves Saint Laurent. On top of that, Gerdismann is worth a visit just for its vintage interior alone.
