5 great shops to buy vintage clothing in Rotterdam

Dearhunter doesn’t sell your typical knitted sweaters or band t-shirts with holes in them. This shop sells high fashion items for dressing up every day and rocking that sidewalk. Think Burberry trench coats, Versace pants, sequined tops and bow ties.

The owner Mitzy has a passion for vintage fashion. Her small but cosy shop is located just off Witte de Withstraat. She’ll give you weekly updates of new clothing for sale on the Sweet Rebels’ Facebook page. Expect a combination of high end fashion finds, bold and colourful showpieces and original accessories.

Bobby Pin collects vintage from all over the world, specialising in 1930s and 1940s clothing, but their collection also includes items up to the 60s. They have a very good selection of men’s clothing as well. Shop online, or make an appointment to give yourself plenty of time to browse the collection and try on their vintage gems.

Because the wares are conveniently sorted by colour, you can easily find that perfect item to complement your wardrobe at Von Deux Vintage. Out of inspiration? Owner Rosanne models original looks on Instagram and will gladly advise you.

For colourful and fun dresses, skirts, jumpsuits and playsuits, Betje Krul is definitely the place to go. Marcella, the warm and welcoming owner who cherishes her happy customers, will give you honest and good advice.
