Athens

A beautiful centre for a walk, running and even picnic. There are sometimes events and free concerts! Worth a visit

The best Chinese restaurant in Athens. Bit far from the centre but worth the visit

Good and cheap burgers in Central. The best food after a night out

Fave outlet ever ✌🏻 I found amazing deadstock pieces for 1-2€

Vintage store at Eksarxia. You can find treasures sometimes ✌🏻

Thrift store in the Centre, you need to search well for clothes but you will find at least one piece that u like x

V qt boutique, everything from Athenian Designers

I visited this place two months ago and it was incredible! There's a library with rare fashion books/magazines and art books and it's decorated with furry WALLS and the whole floor is pink!

Good vibes, and you can chill- have a drink on the street outside the bar

Best ice cream and fab decoration! You should visit

You should try the red curry chicken with cherry tomatoes. One of my fave restaurants in Athens

Season to season, [there's] lots of interesting maximalist items. I bought the green glasses from here.

The rail of designer vintage is always really gorgeous. I bought a 'Head Coach' hockey hoodie from here and it's one of my favourite things I've ever thrifted.

I bought a lime green offensively fluorescent t-shirt, it's gross. I love it!

The men's section always has great shirts.

For American vintage pieces, cowboy boots and denim.

A little bit of everything good. You have to dig but there's always gold.

Stockholm 

Mine and my girl's favorite spot. Great food and atmosphere. The chevre with truffle honey is the bomb!

There are some really good ramen spots in Stockholm and you could go into long debates about which one is the best. My favorite is called Totemo, a small place with few seats. There is always a line outside, so be ready for that.

Been sitting in a studio right next door, so swinging by for a beer after a session isn't half bad.

I used to go here every weekend when I was younger. A good supply of old instruments, cameras etc. And for a good cause, the money goes towards social sustainability.

Stockholm-based brand, always on top with their collections. This is a ”side project” they've been doing.

Carl Milles' old home, where he did most if his art. Dreaming to have a garden like that someday. It's nice to just walk around and get inspired.

Spent most of my summers here as a child. Calm and beautiful, a great escape from the city. Just jump on boat in the city and go island hopping.

This is my favorite thrift store and one I only discovered earlier this year. They've got everything from vintage clothing, to film cameras and super 8's, to vinyls and record players all at really affordable prices. Highly recommend this space as you'd spend the whole day perusing through wonderland.

Another store with a plethora of vintage stuff, they have rad discounts on a weekly basis on clothes and accessories, among many other things.

This is the scene in Mean Girls where Regina George imagines all the girls in high school mauling each other like animals, Dunusa is a jungle and one you should prepare all your energy for as it's wild but you will find so many gems at really cheap prices. Always remember to only have cash with you.

Not only will you meet the cutest little cats but you will step into a big store full of amazing vintage clothing and the store depends solely on donations by supporting 30 charity organisations. Your money would be going to great causes for both people and pets in the neighbouring communities!

Another thrift store that supports charity and offers a wide array of cool clothing to look through.

Every Saturday, you can find thrift markets at Kitcheners with cool styles ranging from denim looks to '80's aesthetics.

Literally anywhere in Maboneng, you will find really lovely thrift stores and during weekends they are alight with markets on the street with incredible styles, and you can find your way to café's and restaurants as you shop.

A beautiful space with a collection of little stores that have boutique fashion to look through.

New York City 

They have several locations all across NYC, but my favourites are in Grammercy, Upper Westside, Park Slope. This place curates each store differently and they have a high standard with what they sell - they're also flexible on price points. Plus, all proceeds from shopping go to The Aids Foundation. Expect home, high end fashion, unique designs and vintage jewellery

People in NYC tend to rotate their wardrobes regularly, this spot focuses on what's in style now so they buy their second hand stock accordingly. You can find cool stuff from just a few seasons ago

The two locations in Williamsburg and at Flat Iron are my favourite. Similar to Crossroads, they do tend to overprice their stuff sometimes and they don't buy as easily as Crossroads, but you can get some good stuff. Particularly menswear, shoes and accessories and denim

SA is super cheap. There's a ton of vintage here for amazing prices. They don't pay attention to brands when they price it so if you're down to rummage you can find some really cool shit. Be warned you will need time to browse as there's little to no organization and there's a lot of crap in there. Fun NY fact, most of my celebrity sightings have happened in Salvation Army

They have a great selection of pure vintage stuff that is just beautiful. Dresses and suits from the 70s and 80s, real high fashion plus a great selection of vintage jewellery. Higher price but reasonable when you consider what you're buying

Massive store with a lot of everything. Leather jackets, outerwear, shoes - this is for your pure Brooklyn vintage experience

Antique and vintage furniture, art, anything from old photographs to door knobs. You can negotiate on price

Elena Kosharny's NYC Thrift Guide

This is my two-year old store. Everyone is welcome to see the shirts I make and I will be there to assist you.

I have known the owners George and Jason for a few years now. Those two talented and kind guys are there to assist you in case you wanna buy something local. They are mainly focused on skate culture clothing , but not only! I personally love their hats. Go and have a look!

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful stores in Athens. Ifigenia, Vasilis and Chara are there to show you rare plants as well as ceramics from greek artisans. Do not miss it!

Not in the area but a bit further is the studio of this amazing project/brand. Book your visit and check their greek herbs and teas. Do not forget to take away Dittany from Crete, a great treat for the cold days..

One of the oldest and definately best vintage stores in the city. Pay a visit and spend your time digging into vintage jeans and rare findings.

Paris

When I lived in Paris I kept missing American food culture, so I found this place called Holybelly, it’s a brunch spot and it’s so good

I really like to thrift. I actually bought my outfit for a festival on the day from here, because I had nothing to wear!

This is another food spot. The guy draws the menu and it’s also a really good brunch spot
