Attention (sustainable) fashionistas: We have assembled our favorite vintage stores in Barcelona for you.
Barcelona is known for its large selection of second-hand stores, especially in districts such as Raval, El Born and Gótico. However, at least half of these stores are a collection of old (and far too expensive) vintage sportswear and patterned shirts. Instead of rummaging through mountains of clothes, we want to make your life easier and introduce you to the following vintage stores in Barcelona. A mixture of vintage boutiques, all-time favorites, and concept stores with attention to detail.
Enjoy the thrill of shopping sustainably. There's a unique joy in discovering a rare vintage gem that's one-of-a-kind, a feeling that's hard to replicate with mass-produced items.
Happy hunting at the following vintage stores in Barcelona!
Zoetrope Vintage (El Born)

Let's start with one of our personal favorites. Zoetrope Vintage is a vintage store in Barcelona's El Born district. If you enter the store, you'll find a white cloud above your head and a great selection of vintage pieces in two rooms. Zoetrope's collection ranges from unique vintage pieces to contemporary designs. They also have a rack outside with five € per piece.
At Zoetrope Vintage, you can find independently owned, hand-picked vintage and secondhand clothes for all genders, locally designed and upcycled pieces, jewelry, and accessories like sunglasses. They have a great selection of midi and maxi skirts, which we love.

Zoetrope (Raval)

As Zoetrope has three vintage stores in Barcelona, we wanted to highlight them twice. You can live out your vintage fantasies in the Raval neighborhood at Zoetrope. Compared to the store in Born, we describe the vintage pieces as edgier and more Y2K. From satin corsages to mini skirts, oversized sunglasses, kitten heels, scarves, and tops full of crystals, Zoetrope offers a great selection of 90s and Y2K vintage pieces that will have a special place in your wardrobe. Happy thrifting! Let us know in the comments which Zoetrope vintage store in Barcelona you liked the most.
