Vintage never truly goes out of style, but it is fair to say that it has experienced something of a renaissance in the 21st century. A more environmentally-conscious world is an undoubted influence, but there is something beautiful about giving previously loved treasure another chance, whether that is clothes, records, books, and the rest. Zagreb has plenty of second-hand spots dotted around the city, packed with treasures waiting to be loved.
Mango Sticky Rice Vintage
This hidden gem offers a carefully curated selection of vintage and second-hand clothing, blending timeless pieces with modern flair.
Industrija
We do love a second-hand shop, even more so if it happens to be pet-friendly, and that is exactly what we find at Industrija on Vlaška. Well, more accurately you should come here to the excellent selection of clothing and fashion accessories, with both eyes firmly fixed on sustainable fashion. Pick out your winter styles and then see if the pet approves. Here’s hoping!
Ulični ormar

Sunday mornings are always an attraction as the antique market is bursting with flair and excitement. Here you will find various decorative things, old books and collectables of both local and international origin. Located in the very heart of the city, the market is a real cultural treat for all fans of antiquity.
Hrelić (Jakuševac) flea market
You may meet the Croatian version of the ‘Trotter brothers’ here as this is the city’s largest Sunday flea market. Situated on the outskirts of the city, it is jam packed with goodies from cars, motor-cycles, clothes, to thousands of other handy items. You name it, it’s sure to have it! Bargaining will be fun and do take the time to relish some of the authentic local food and meat dishes on offer! Get in early as merchants leave by noon. The quickest way to get to the Fair is to catch the bus number 295 at the Zapruđe Station, this line is available on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. For more info visit: www.zet.hr.
