Amsterdam Fashion Week x Wear For Life: The Curated Vintage & Second-Hand Route
During Amsterdam Fashion Week (3 – 4 September 2026), Amsterdam Fashion Week, Gemeente Amsterdam and Wear For Life are opening The HUB at Keizersgracht 264. The HUB is a space for talks, repair workshops and a curated vintage shop. Seven second-hand and vintage stores across Amsterdam are joining in with their own “Amsterdam Fashion Week Curated” rail, so visitors can turn The HUB into a self-guided vintage route through the city.
What if the most valuable item in your wardrobe is one you already own? This season, Amsterdam Fashion Week isn’t only about new collections, it’s also about giving what’s already in your closet a second chance.
The HUB is Amsterdam Fashion Week’s meeting point for the week, organised together with Gemeente Amsterdam and Wear For Life. For two days, visitors can join talks, take part in workshops, get clothing repaired, and shop a curated vintage selection.

Need a coffee stop along the way? Muna has a café built right into the store.
Every piece on this route has already been worn once — and gets a new life with you. That’s exactly what Wear For Life is about: keeping clothing in use for longer, so less new production is needed.
What is Amsterdam Fashion Week Curated Vintage? It’s a city-wide vintage route that runs alongside Amsterdam Fashion Week. The HUB at Keizersgracht 264 hosts talks, repair stations and a curated vintage shop, while seven participating second-hand stores across Amsterdam each highlight their own “Amsterdam Fashion Week Curated” rail.
When does the route take place? 3 and 4 September 2026, generally from 12:00 to 19:00. Check individual store opening hours for exact times.
Do I need to book anything? The vintage shop, customisation station and store visits are walk-in. The AFW Talk, the wrap-skirt workshop, and the Repair Station require sign-up via amsterdamfashionweek.nl.
Is this route only for women? No, De Ruilhoek, The Swapshop, ReShare Store, Muna and Boas all carry both womenswear and menswear.
