One of Oslos oldest, and best known secondhand-shops, also carrying a few brands. Lots of leather, jeans and such. Their prices and variety in items ain't the best, but if you don't want a 2000$ Rick Owens-leatherjacket, Trabant's a pretty good alternative.

Quite unknown, but excellent selection and great prices. Lots of beautiful stuff from the 60s. Closing down the 1st of January.

The best, but priciest Fretex. Menswear-selection is a little weak, but some of the womenswear is amazing. At the moment, they have an old pair of green Doc Martens in size 36-37 availabale for only 300nok.

Previously 3rd Hand, now known as Alphaville. The shop is still carrying the re-designed secondhand clothes. Great selection of acessories, knitwear, dresses etc etc. Prices considerably better than Tonica Vintage and the similar SH-shops.

Sjarm have a quite small and pricey selection of secondhand, but some of their items are amazing, one-of-a-kind stuff. Mostly evening wear. They're having a big sale Friday the 24th, definitely worth a trip.

First shopping guide, hooray! Don't have the time to run around in Oslo looking for meh alright shops, so I'll just start with a online one and do one for vintage shops next week. And the good thing is, everyone can enjoy the internet! Porn and fashion, what more can one desiree? (new post on this might come.... ..without revealing too much. haha revealing. nudity right. hahah)

I assume you know of yoox, luisaviaroma, hm.com etc. So why link them? I'd rather write about the less-known ones.

This is actually owned by Yoox, but they carry full priced season items, not reduced past-season. They have the cheapest Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens and Veronique Branquinho. + Etro, Adam Kimmel, Varvatos etc. Shit Shit Shit. Shit. And Ann. Alas worth a look.

No Belgian avant-garde. Just cheap jeans and such. Still cool though. Superfine, Nice Collective, Acne and so on.

Cheap, online secondhand-shop with a zillion items. 90% is fug but if you look closely, like, really closely, you can find an amazing treasure from the 20s or something. For 20$ or something.

Japanense, carrying lots of cool brands, like Ann D, CDG, Vibskov+++. They mark their prices up like crazy, but very good selection.
