More sustainable, more conscious and budget-friendly shopping. It is possible at these second-hand hotspots in Antwerp.
Shopping more sustainably and consciously doesn’t have to be expensive. For example, choose second-hand! This is a more environmentally friendly choice because clothing that is no longer worn is given a new life. Because did you know that only 21% of the clothes from a closet are worn? This is such a shame! But the good news is that you can give your clothes a new purpose, for example by bringing them to second-hand stores. Another advantage is that second-hand clothing at thrift stores is very budget-friendly. You will find real gems here for just a few euros!
In Antwerp you’ll find several second-hand stores where you can shop on a budget. Curious where? We list them for you!

You can also go here if you want to participate in the Kledingkettingruil.

Circular, budget-friendly and fun!
