The 4 best vintage shops in Antwerp

The Finnish second-hand chain Think Twice now has four branches in Antwerp where they sell glamorous vintage dresses, shoes and bags. Look out on their Facebook page for T2 special promotions when they sell off everything in stock at prices that make no economic sense. By the third day, you can pick up stuff for just one euro.

A cool vintage shop aimed at sophisticated women looking for inexpensive designer clothes and offbeat accessories. The friendly people who work here can help you find your way around. It may take no more than a €10 note to obtain the wildest sunglasses you have ever worn.

This shop sells clothes from past seasons by famous names in Flemish fashion, including the Antwerp Six and Martin Margiela, as well as a few international designers. The window display features new work by students from the Antwerp fashion academy.

Hidden down a quiet side street, this is a good address to hunt for nearly new clothes by designers like Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester and Jil Sander. The window display often features clothes by young designers fresh from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
