Thrift shopping in Budapest 2025

Thrifting is living its renaissance and we love it.  Shopping at a local thrift store is a simple and easy way to go green and it rewards with the most unique vintage items. Say goodbye to fast fashion and let the treasure hunt begin. In this article we collected the best places for thrift shopping in Budapest.

LoveBug Vintage

A treasure cave for lovers of old clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry. It operates on the Buda side as a cool home store but many pieces can be found in the webshop as well. Most of the items are one of a kind, purchased by the owner who has an eye and heart for special items.

Humana

The downtown thrift store heaven. One of the cheapest vintage boutiques in town and only a few minutes walk from both Maverick City Lodge and Maverick Hostel & Ensuites. It is part of a larger used clothing chain, but here, on Károly körút, they sell specifically vintage pieces. Every few weeks the stock is completely replaced so it’s worth swinging by often.

Szputnyik

From contemporary design pieces to extraordinary used clothes, this eclectic store welcomes everyone with an eye for fashion. Their goal is to create a community where everyone can be themselves and express their innermost selves through their dress.

Retrock

A designer shop with carefully selected individual and unique items. Clothes and accessories of local and foreign young designers, old movie posters, comics and accessories.

Konfekció

This might be the craziest thrift store on our list. If you shop at Konfekció, you can make sure that you won’t see the same piece on someone else. There is something for everyone here, as they have a wide selection of kitsch, old-school but definitely special items.

Ludovika

Located on Rumbach street, Ludovika offers unique vintage pieces and accessories. The store has a homey vibe with its antique furnishing and wide selection of clothes.

Ludovika is a perfect choice for some second-hand shopping if you are into antiques and vintage pieces.
