Best Vintage and Thrift Stores in Sydney

SWOP

Newtown + Darlinghurst

A consignment store that feels more like a boutique. The racks are organised, the edit is tight, and the mix ranges from everyday vintage to archival Comme des Garçons, Gaultier and Issey Miyake.

You can bring pieces in for store credit or cash, which keeps the rotation steady and the selection strong.

108WAREHOUSE

Unit 1/213 Marrickville Road, Marrickville

A Sydney based select store specialising in second hand clothing, with a strong focus on Japanese designers and niche labels. The edit blends vintage pieces with new collections from local and international brands, alongside rotating pop up racks featuring emerging Sydney designers.

There is also a small gift store and coffee stand inside, making it feel more like a considered retail space than a traditional thrift stop.

Reunion

2/112 Enmore Road, Newtown

A consciously curated buy sell trade store specialising in high quality modern and vintage fashion. The warm chocolate brown exterior opens into colour coordinated racks and a dedicated accessory wall, making it easy to shop without the usual thrift chaos.

Expect strong everyday pieces alongside the occasional designer find including Maison Margiela and Issey Miyake. Stock moves often, built around repurposing and re wearing well.

Reseller

16B Lawrence Street, Freshwater & 26 Darley Road, Manly

A Northern Beaches consignment store focused on high quality, well cared for secondhand clothing, footwear and accessories sourced from the local community.

The edit leans coastal and considered. Expect brands like SIR and Zimmermann alongside vintage Levi’s and clean, elevated basics. There is usually a strong sunglasses selection too, which makes sense given the postcode.

Potts Point Vintage

2/8A Hughes Street, Potts Point

A small Potts Point store specialising in vintage occasion wear, from bridal dresses and structured gowns to finely tailored men’s suits. The edit extends into leather goods and distinctive accessories, with a clientele that includes stylists and film industry regulars.

Beyond clothing, there is also a considered selection of decorative pieces, including mid-century glass, oil paintings and Art Deco china.

Storeroom Vintage

Founded in 2013, Storeroom Vintage was one of the first in Sydney to champion 90s and early 2000s vintage locally, beginning at Glebe Markets before opening a Crown Street store.

It now operates primarily online, with a new physical space to be announced in the future. The edit remains tightly curated, with one of a kind drops that have drawn high profile visitors over the years, including Drake and Billie Eilish.

Zoo Emporium

Unit B/180 Campbell Street, Surry Hills

A Surry Hills vintage staple that has been around for over 35 years. Zoo Emporium is known for strong pieces from the 60s, 70s and 80s, from bold dresses and oversized eyewear to sharper tailoring.

Upstairs tends to hold some rarer designer finds, while downstairs is more relaxed and easier to sift through. It is slightly chaotic in the best way, and still one of the most recognisable vintage stores in Sydney.

Uturn Recycled Fashion

Newtown, Bondi, Punchbowl, Surry Hills and more

One of Sydney’s longest running second hand stores, known for its curated mix of Y2K and 90s vintage. The edit is accessible and affordable, with pieces rotating constantly across multiple locations.

The Punchbowl outlet is the largest, offering pay by kilo options and a more warehouse style hunt.

Savers

Auburn, Camperdown, Surry Hills

Originally from the US and Canada, Savers has expanded into Australia in recent years, bringing its large scale thrift model with it. The stores are stocked daily with clothing, accessories and homewares, with most pieces priced accessibly.

The Auburn location is the largest and feels closest to the full warehouse experience. Camperdown and Surry Hills offer the same rotation in a smaller format.

This is where you thrift properly. High volume, low prices, and the quiet satisfaction of finding something good amongst it all.

Route 66

Shop 2/82–84 Enmore Road, Newtown

A Sydney vintage institution since 1983, Route 66 has long been the city’s home for cowboy boots, Levi’s and classic Americana.

Originally based in Surry Hills and now in Newtown, it carries decades of rock and roll, rockabilly and denim from the 1950s through to the 1980s.

Vinnies & Salvos

Various locations across Sydney

Vinnies and Salvos have stores across Sydney and the right suburb can make all the difference. Mosman is worth visiting for designer and higher end pieces, while Glebe tends to turn up more trend driven finds and strong everyday staples. It comes down to postcode and timing, but when it aligns, you will usually find something good.

Get Wasted Vintage

CBD | 550 George Street & Dixon Street

Small, curated drops sourced from the USA, Japan and Korea, with a focus on Y2K, structured denim and quality jackets. Every piece is washed and selected individually, with the option to shop by piece or buy in bulk and save. Stock rotates regularly, keeping the edit fresh without ever feeling overproduced.

Di Nuovo

92 William Street, Paddington

A refined consignment store specialising in luxury pre-loved womenswear. Expect designer finds, from Cartier watches to Chanel ready-to-wear, one-of-a-kind vintage pieces and the occasional Loewe Puzzle bag.

Established over 25 years ago, the edit is highly curated and refreshed daily, making it one of Sydney’s most reliable stops for sustainable designer resale. Donna Forbes Vintage

226–228 Liverpool Street, Darlinghurst

A long standing Darlinghurst boutique specialising in classic vintage fashion. The collection is carefully curated, spanning decades of well cut silhouettes, tailoring and statement pieces that feel timeless rather than trend led.

The Wilde Merchant

500 King Street, Newtown

A Newtown vintage and handmade specialist with a globally sourced edit. The racks move between classic band tees and varsity knits to heavier workwear, military pieces and statement outerwear.

You’ll find influences from Japan, the US and beyond, alongside salvaged and handcrafted items that give the store its character. It feels layered, personal and slightly unexpected, without losing its focus.

Irreplaceable Store

411 King Street, Newtown

A Newtown staple for streetwear and sneakers, with a strong mix of new and vintage kicks. Expect Nike, rare Dunks, heavier sneakers alongside racks of vintage tees, workwear and graphic pieces.

Brands like Carhartt, Dickies and Levi’s are woven through the edit, alongside accessories and small nostalgic finds. It leans street, well stocked and slightly obsessive in the best way

Thrift Clusters Worth Wandering

If you prefer to thrift by area rather than store, there are a few pockets of Sydney where you can move between independent vintage, buy sell trade and charity shops in one afternoon. Marrickville, Maroubra, Rozelle and Newtown and Enmore all have enough density to make it worthwhile, with a mix of smaller independents and op shops within walking distance.

Vintage Markets

Glebe Markets

Every Saturday, 10am–4pm | Derby Place, Glebe Point Road, Glebe

A Sydney institution. Glebe Markets are still one of the easiest places to find vintage in one sweep, from designer bags and denim to handmade jewellery and smaller local labels. The fashion stalls sit alongside ceramics, prints and the occasional unexpected find, which is part of the appeal.

Go early for the best pieces and stay for lunch. The food line-up is just as much of a draw.

Second Life Markets

Pop-up | Various dates

One of Sydney’s largest curated vintage events, bringing together independent sellers in one space. Expect archival designer, structured outerwear, denim and stronger statement pieces rather than fast fashion resale. It runs periodically throughout the year and tends to draw a well-dressed crowd.

Vintage Kilo Sale

Pop-up | Various dates

A warehouse-style event where clothing is sold by weight. Racks are restocked throughout the day, with denim, tees, jackets and heavier pieces priced by the kilo. It is less about curation and more about volume, which makes the find feel slightly more satisfying when it happens.

Rozelle Collectors Market

Every Saturday | 9am–3pm | Rozelle Public School, 663 Darling Street, Rozelle

Set within the grounds of Rozelle Public School, this long running market is a strong stop for secondhand across fashion, records, books and small antiques. The mix is broad, which makes it easy to come across something you were not specifically looking for.

There is usually live music and a steady rotation of food stalls, making it just as much about the morning as the shopping.
