Hi everyone, long time!
Since publishing my guide to vintage and secondhand clothing stores in Jerusalem back in 2018, it has remained one of the most popular posts on my blog, attracting readers every day.
Of course, so much has changed since then. Some stores are still around, while others have unfortunately closed or moved. I thought it was time for a little update!
Although I haven’t been active on the blog in recent years (life has been busy!), I’ve still kept up with Jerusalem’s vintage and secondhand scene and have a pretty good idea of where to find what!
Where to shop in Jerusalem:
Hanut She’hi Bayit
21 Hananel Street, Katamonim
Tel: 02-6780537
Call ahead to arrange a time to visit.
Haboydem
Two locations:
- Talpiot: 15 Tzeret Street, near Kenyon Hadar
- City Center: 1 Yosef Rivlin Street
HaMetzion
139 Pierre Koenig Street, Talpiot, near Kenyon Hadar. Its City Center location has closed.
Bigudit, WIZO Secondhand Clothing
11 Hillel Street, City Center
Personally, my two favorites are Haboydem in Talpiot and Bigudit. I think they have the best selections and prices. HaMetzion is a bit too big and pricey for my taste, but you can definitely get lucky and find some great treasures there.
Jerusalem Flea Market
There’s also a fun flea market at Davidka Square on Thursdays, which is worth checking out! Find more information here.
Secondhand shopping on WhatsApp
A lot of secondhand shopping now happens through Facebook Marketplace and WhatsApp groups. There are plenty of WhatsApp groups in both Hebrew and English. Some are give and take groups, where everything is free. Others focus on modest fashion.
There’s also a group run by a woman based in Tel Aviv who specializes in high end secondhand designer pieces. She works on a consignment basis, selling items on behalf of their owners. I sold a Fendi bag through her myself for quite a decent price. 😊
If you’re interested in any of these groups, email me and I’ll be happy to share the details.
Beyond Jerusalem
If you ever venture outside the city, definitely check out Dandasha! They have branches in 11 cities including Netanya, Haifa and Jaffa, and they’re well worth a visit for mid-range items. You can find their locations here.
Let’s Connect!
Whether you’re looking for something specific or have clothes you’d like to donate, sell or pass along, feel free to get in touch!
I’m happy to help point you in the right direction or connect your clothes with the right places and people.
And if I’ve missed a great shop or group, or any of these details need updating, please email me. I’d love to hear your recommendations too.
You can reach me at modestjerusalem@gmail.com.
Happy thrifting!
Amy
