10 second-hand stores for all situations

Welcome to seventh heaven, record lovers! At Best Records, even those of you who already have a decent collection at home will find new, old vinyl treasures. We can say that with certainty, because in Christoph's little store you'll find well over 20,000 titles, LPs, singles and maxis. We recommend you bring a little time with you - as well as browsing, you can also listen to records on two turntables at Best Records.

Are you looking for beautiful children's clothes that are still affordable? Then head to Romy's Room, where you'll find new children's clothes as well as second-hand, high-quality clothes for babies and children. Even if you don't have anything to do with children yourself (yet), if you're looking for a gift for family or friends, you're sure to find something here. There is even an online store where you can have a look around in advance.

At Blaugold you will find a wonderfully selected range of vintage, designer and no-name clothing. The motto: Preloved is reloved. The premise: It has to be high quality, but still affordable. A great concept that has been working successfully since 1997. By the way: as well as clothes, there are also shoes, bags and accessories!

Anyone who has tried to buy a new bike this year will have noticed: Corona has probably not only made us all stay at home, no, many have found a new favorite pastime in cycling. At least that's what it seems like when you hear about the eternal delivery times for new bikes and parts. Therefore: second hand it is! That's why we recommend Second Hand Sports, because there's something for every cyclist: Dutch bikes, city bikes, trekking bikes, mountain bikes, racing bikes, vintage bikes, folding bikes and much more. Also very practical: you can also find spare parts and accessories here.

Did you know that Maxvorstadt is home to the largest English-language second-hand bookshop in the whole of Germany? Welcome to The Munich Readery, where you can rely on a large selection of well-preserved paperbacks. Perfect for anyone who has been wanting to improve their English for a while.

There are quite a few stores for vintage clothes in Munich, but very few of them also have a (large) selection of men's clothing. So it's a good thing that The Second Gerdismann exists, because this second-hand store does exactly the opposite: it only stocks men's fashion from brands such as Acne, APC, Dior, Marc Jacobs, Patagonia, YSL, Hackett London and Prada. But pssst: many of the pieces can also be worn unisex, so a shopping visit can be worthwhile for everyone.

For many Munich residents, the Kunstoase is THE classic antique store par excellence and is of course a must when it comes to beautifying their own four walls. Anyone who has read Harry Potter: This is exactly how we always imagined the Room of Requirement. A sea of lamps hanging from the ceiling full of antique chandeliers, countless picture frames, crockery, furniture, vases and much more awaits you here. Even if you don't need anything, every Munich resident should stop by here once, because it really is a very special experience!

Are you in the process of refurnishing your apartment? Then you should also make a detour to one of the second-hand stores (a new location in Obersendling will open in January 2022 in addition to the Westend) at Weißer Raben. There really is everything here, from furniture and crockery to books, decorations and textiles. You can also get your hands on electrical appliances, all of which have been tested by the staff. With your purchase, you are not only doing something good for your wallet and the environment, but also supporting long-term unemployed people that the Weiße Rabe supports and employs as one of the largest inclusion and employment companies in Upper Bavaria.

Unfortunately, gold jewelry produced under fair conditions is still in short supply. Our tip: buy pieces of jewelry that have been worn and loved before instead of shopping for new ones. A veritable treasure trove of small stores that buy and sell gold jewelry and offer a wide mix of styles and prices can be found in Westenriederstraße, which leads off the Viktualienmarkt. Here, one store follows the next - for example that of Michael Rötzer. Take a look next time you visit the Viktualienmarkt!

Whether the Wiesn will take place again in 2022 is not yet certain, but cautious optimism never hurts. And one thing is certain: by then at the latest, the question of which dirndl and lederhosen to wear will arise again. At Holareidulijö Trachtenladen, there is nothing in Bavarian costume that is not available: Lederhosen and traditional costumes, Chiemseedirndl, Miesbacher and Tegernsee traditional costumes, Haferl shoes, traditional costume jewelry such as choker necklaces, old Janker jackets, hats, chamois beards and much more.
