(Designer) vintage stores
Céno Classics
Stylish, high quality and affordable vintage clothing
Do you like preloved clothing, but don’t like to search through a large pile of secondhand clothing? Good news, because at the stylish vintage store Céno Classics they’ve curated only the most beautiful vintage and preloved garments of the highest quality. Think high quality natural materials, timeless silhouettes and a neutral color palette. The collection has been carefully put together by mother and daughter, and mother Céline’s years of experience in interior and shop design is reflected in the stylish interior. The name says it all, you can hardly say ‘no’ to the beautiful items hanging in the store. Nice fact: despite the high quality, almost all items in the store are under 100 euros.
You can find Céno Classics in the ‘vintage street’ of Rotterdam, at Zwaanshals 283.
Hidden Youth
Unique vintage and upcycled clothing and interior accessories
Another vintage gem in the Zwaanshals is Hidden Youth. This unique vintage store is a paradise for lovers of fashion, art, lifestyle and design – it is a place you want to visit over and over again to get inspired and discover new designers. Owner and designer Evana curates the vintage gems based on quality, color, material and also makes unique, upcycled clothing herself that she sells in the store. In addition to clothing, you’ll also find unique vintage accessories, home decoration, art and books here. She regularly goes on buying trips to London, Paris, and Antwerp to score new vintage gems there, so you will find ‘new’ collections here every time!
Maison Maas
High-end designer vintage
For vintage clothing from high-end designers such as Maison Margiela, Prada, Comme des Garçons and Dries van Noten, you should go to Maison Maas. In addition to preloved designer clothing and accessories, you’ll also find clothing from local designers and Maas (owner of the store) also has his own label with unique upcycled clothing.
Maison Maas can also be found in the ‘vintage street’ of Rotterdam, at Zwaanshals 297.
SHOWROOM41
Vintage designer clothing and accessories
When you go vintage shopping in the Zwaanshals/Zaagmolenkade area, a visit to SHOWROOM41 is a must. For years, owners Ed and Lione have been collecting the most unique vintage gems from designer brands such as Chloé, Jean Paul Gaultier and Dior. From clothing to shoes and from sunglasses to other accessories. Lione is also a designer and makes unique garments from vintage and ‘leftover’ materials for her own label L.I.O.N.E. Another cool thing: you can also go here for a haircut by Ed, who has years of experience as a make-up artist for photo shoots in the advertising and fashion industry.
Secondhand and preloved stores
Ferme Tred
Preloved clothing boutique for the modern woman
Secondhand clothing is no longer boring or old-fashioned, and the trendy and colourful secondhand store Ferme Tred proves it once again!

From stylish basics to unique items, Ferme Tred has something to offer for every taste. You can find Ferme Tred at Zwaanshals 470.

You can find more beautiful secondhand clothing and accessories at Ding&Dingen. The store lives up to its name, because there are plenty of nice things to find here. For over 15 years, owner Mariska has been collecting and selling secondhand clothing, with the aim to give clothing a second life. She selects the items with love, washes and repairs the items where necessary. She also has her own DING-collection, locally made clothing from second-hand materials.
The Swapshop
Clothing swapstore in Rotterdam
Swapping secondhand and preloved clothing and accessories is possible at The Swapshop Rotterdam! With their concept, founders Laura Suijkerbuijk and Monique Drent want to extend the lifespan of fashion items and make swapping clothes the norm. But do you actually know what swapping entails? Swapping is actually just handing in the clothes you no longer wear and getting ‘swap points’ in return, so you can shop preloved clothing from other swappers. The location of The Swapshop in Rotterdam has recently changed – you can now find them at Weena 70, near Central Station.

BLEND Bloemhof is a social enterprise and this is reflected in everything they do: here you’ll find a mix of honest and affordable products.
