It doesn’t always have to be brand-new: secondhand items often still serve their purpose well and are more affordable. Add to that the aspect of sustainability, which motivates many to give old items a new lease on life. If you’re currently in the midst of a vintage craze and want to shop secondhand beyond the flea markets, then you should definitely check out these Munich shops . Here you’ll find absolutely everything—from clothing and jewelry to books and furniture, right down to tableware and 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, friendly, and so tidy that it’s every bit as good as any clothing store selling new merchandise. Here you’ll find a wide selection of trendy clothes and accessories, all neatly sorted by color. There’s also an online shop 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 Vintage Fabrik, you’ll also feel right at home at Vintage Revivals. The chain is also in several cities and has an online shop as well. The pieces are particularly stylish and , true to the motto “Contemporary Second Hand , ” follow current fashion trends without being mass-produced. 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, Weisser Raben is the place for you. You’ll find these second-hand 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 second-hand books in Munich. The Munich Readery in Maxvorstadt specializes in English-language second-hand literature and has been a top destination for bookworms and avid readers for 20 years now. You can even snag 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

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 second-hand store.
Hall 2
The Halle 2 secondhand store is the go-to spot for secondhand shopping. You’ll find just about everything here, from furniture, tableware, and 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.
