Vintage digger # 2




I know i should have finish this subject long time ago but something always in the way. And I hope I don't disappoint you with my long post though.
Here come the treasure I discovered so far;

Myrorna : Swedish’s most well known vintage/second handed store. Hundreds and hundreds of stores all over Sweden. Just 10 itself in Stockholm. Myrorna is cheap compare to others and it’s style and price depend on the area they located. Some are small some are big but my favorite is one that that children’s clothes. Well what can I say… I’m Little ;) They have all kind of things for both “Dam and Herr” clothes, shoes, accessories, pottery, textile, books, even some furniture. It’s a great place to start especially when you are new mover. And for those digger like me here you can find both vintage clothes and second handed one. Vintage is a little more expensive than another type. V-Dress can start from 80 SEK and up to 200 SEK. Top can be from 80 SEK While current clothes can be found as cheap as 20 SEK. Vintage shoes are great too but condition and size usually depends on luck. Always new things (with old things) every week ! And you can always switch to other Myrorna in the area. Still this is my favorite place.

Beyond Retro : This place is a REAL vintage deal. I’m not sure if this place is originate from London or here in Sweden. Thus this place surely has its reputation. Sure inspiration the minute you walk in. in case you cannot check out their website http://www.beyondretro.com Everything in the wore drove vintage can be found here from clothes, shoes, bags, hat, and many more. If you have a thing for the retro period, you will like it here. So the price is a bit more expensive than other places but you have to give it to them, putting so much afford in selecting and searching and fixing all the stuffs. Say vintage is your style and you don’t feel like digging much then this is your place. Thus you still have to go through a lotttt of stuffs here anyway because they have tons of selection for you. Where else can you find an old style flower swimming cap or a very classy 50’s hat! I am amaze by this place but then again I like mix n match and the thrill of discover the treasure.

Stockholm Stadsmission : This is my new discover and how nice of them to also have many branches around the city as well. You can find most everything here too. This place is a lot like Myrorna but they mostly have the second handed goodies. The price is good here and for the branding is a little bit higher but still very good for all shopaholics. I got the pinkish top by Karl L. for H&M here for 60 SEK. And a very cool print top from Thai design! Don’t ever say Thai don’t have a good designer. Things that are more current seem to be found here with a little bit more clean and nicer environment. Plus you are helping the world by not waste trash (as they say in their campaign). If your budget is tight and still you are a shopper, don’t miss this place. I’m sure will stop there again.
By the way, Last week Found Marc Jacob pants size 10 for 250 SEK and Balenciaga (Giant First) for 200 SEK but not in good condition. Keep your eyes open!
