The best second-hand stores in Moscow for 2022

Initially, second-hand stores were perceived as second-rate stores selling low-quality second-hand clothes. This opinion was strengthened by the appearance of the first establishments of this type: cramped rooms with a specific smell, wrinkled old clothes piled into baskets. Times are changing, and the format of second-hand stores has also changed. Now these are modern retail outlets with neatly hung goods, about half of which are new things with labels. Connoisseurs of vintage style, fashionistas who want to purchase exclusive clothes of their favorite brand at low prices like to drop in here. For many residents of Moscow, second-hand stores have become a permanent place of purchase. We present a rating of the best of them, according to buyers, for 2022 with a description of the advantages, indicating contacts.

Criterias of choice

Before visiting the store, it is appropriate to consider several important points. First of all, it is advisable to highlight the selection criteria:

1. location;
2. square;
3. prices;
4. range;
5. brand line;
6. online store.

Location. The best establishments of this type are always located in places with high traffic: next to grocery supermarkets, shopping centers, often budget ones. Those that are on the outskirts, in the sleeping areas of the capital, are not very popular due to the poor choice of location.

Square. When choosing, be sure to look at the area occupied by the store: in a cramped room there will be either a small assortment and lack of choice, or things piled up in heaps, or narrow aisles that create a crowd of buyers when looking at clothes. And you can’t call a comfortable stay in cramped quarters. The bigger the store, the better. It is imperative that there are fitting rooms with mirrors for convenient fitting of the products you like.

Prices. If the prices are too high, the second hand will lose popularity. A self-respecting store owner will take care of the cost of things affordable for the average buyer, holding promotions for the old arrival on the eve of the new, seasonal discounts. Even products of world brands should have adequate price tags for the constant interest of visitors. The method of selling used items, bed linen by weight has proven itself well.

Range. The modern second hand market is quite dynamic. It is more expedient to choose the institution where frequent updates take place, regular receipts for buyers with different tastes, wallets, and needs. It is better if the range includes women's, men's, children's clothing.Plus store in a convenient location of products by category on hangers, racks by size rulers.

Line of brands. Most buyers are looking for vintage clothes, designer pieces from the best manufacturers. So you can buy popular branded models, even if they are from past collections, but with guaranteed high quality and at a low price. The popularity of the store depends on the variety of brands represented, just some of them:

• H&M - inexpensive quality clothing for women, men, children in ten directions from Sweden;
• George is an English manufacturer of clothing for adults and children of all ages and sizes, beloved by millions. Sports, classic, wedding, trendy models, accessories are in demand;
• B&B - office style for women;
• Momma - clothes for pregnant women;
• Young - teen fashion;
• Rocky - youth collection in casual style;
• L.O.G.G. — unique sports models from high-quality materials.

Online store. Online shopping is becoming commonplace. It's convenient, fast, and saves money. It’s good if the selected store has a website with an online order function, where you can see how much the product costs and see the entire model range with sizes and colors. The online store is open around the clock, which is convenient when the city residents are busy.

Recommendations for choosing things in second-hand

1. Carefully consider the entire range of the category of interest, evaluate the pros and cons of the models, imagine yourself in the planned image.
2. If things are placed in different departments, it is appropriate to go to each. When choosing vintage clothes, haste is unacceptable: there are a lot of models, please be patient and time.
3. Be sure to try on the thing you like: the size indicated on the label will not help, because at different times they wore clothes of different sizes depending on the fashion (skinny, loose-fitting, with an overstated belt, voluminous top).
4. Carefully examine the quality: seams, zippers, buttons.
5. Do not buy clothes with severe wear, spools on the wrong side, with blurry letters on the labels: this indicates a large number of washes to which the item was subjected, frequent contact with the skin, and a long service life.
6. Do not be afraid of the unpleasant chemical smell of the product that appears after processing in dry cleaning: after the first wash it will disappear.
7. Consider how the thing will be worn: as part of a certain retro look or as part of an everyday wardrobe.
8. It is not advisable to visit the commission on the days of receipt. It is more profitable to make purchases on the days of the start of sales, when discounts are already in effect, and the goods have not yet been taken apart.
