One of the most famous vintage shops in Rotterdam is, of course, Episode. Located on Witte de Withstraat, it's the place to go for great Levi's jeans, Adidas vests, belts, shoes, jackets, and much more. Definitely worth a visit if you love vintage shopping.
Just further down the street you will find Square Eight Vintage Clothes on the Oude Binnenweg. This store is also very centrally located.

Dearhunter is located on Eendrachtsweg, in the middle of the bustling Witte de Withkwartier and just outside the centre. If I'm looking for a unique vintage item, I know this is the place to be. Whether it concerns a beautiful dress, nice (sports) jacket or special accessories, they have it at Dearhunter.

Many vintage enthusiasts frequent shop at Cheap Fashion on the Meent. This colourful store boasts two floors packed with eye-catching pieces, from dresses and shoes to glittery outfits. Don't forget to visit the basement, where you'll find fun costumes for themed parties.
This unique concept is definitely worth a visit if you're in Rotterdam Centre. At The Swapshop, you can trade in your favourite clothes, shoes, and accessories. In return, you receive swaps (points) on a digital account. One swap is worth €1. The better the quality of the item, the more swaps you receive. These swaps then give you a 50% discount on the retail price of the items in the store.
Yes! Another great vintage shop in Rotterdam Cenre. On Karel Doormanstraat, to be precise. Think Twice has recently opened here, with carefully selected items that are replenished daily!
Last, but not least, we arrive at Sweet Rebels on Witte de Withstraat. It's a bit hidden in a corner next to the Supermercado.
At Sweet Rebels they have many beautiful second-hand clothing items, but also vintage designer items. They do not work with trends here, but approach vintage from the perspective of a fashion stylist and want to take the best from fashion history and integrate it into contemporary fashion. They believe that size, gender or current style should never limit how you dress.
In their store you will find a wide selection of regularly updated and beautiful vintage items, as well as a carefully curated collection of designer clothing. All garments are selected for style, quality and comfort. They are washed, ironed and repaired where necessary, and each item has its own personality and history. They are unique and cannot be found anywhere else.
