4 Best Vintage Stores in Amsterdam

Episode’s inventory tends to have less of a vintage feel, and a more kitsch (think your grandmother’s housecoats) and a retro (think old school, brightly colored Adidas) vibe. The Amsterdam store is part of an international chain, and carries a wide variety of items from many different decades. There is a good lingerie section, some great winter coats and everything you need in between to dress yourself. And half of the store is dedicated to men’s clothing. Of course if you are in this area, you have to check out the Waterlooplein Market as well! 

While the clothing at De Tweede Ronde tends to be regular contemporary second hand items (with some older pieces thrown in), the prices are reasonable and the vibe is mellow. Located down a residential backstreet, this place has a local and unpretentious feel, a place you could bring mom. In addition to clothing, De Tweede Ronde has some nice jewelry, cute used kitchenware, and a beautiful old cupboard full of lovely antique linens. 

Zipper probably has the most comprehensive inventory on this list. Located in the heart of the De 9 Straatjes shopping district (Nine Streets), Zipper is spread over 2 floors, and offers a huge range of items from the 1950s to 1980s, plus some new items as well, for both men and woman. 

Rumors Vintage & Design, which is located on the great shopping street, Haarlemmerstraat, has a fun selection of vintage clothes. Focused mostly on the female customer (though there is a couple racks of great men’s stuff too), you can peruse the large selection of shoes and boots, hand bags, sweaters, dresses and more. There is also a rack of children’s stuff that is really cool as well.
