Sustainable Shopping – Second-Hand in Uppsala

Is your image of second-hand shopping a stuffy, dimly-lit room crammed with dusty, hopeless items? Ruth & Raoul will prove you wrong. Nestled in the charming white building along Sysslomansgatan, this boutique features only the finest, best-preserved clothing, shoes, bags, and jewelry. Whether you’re hunting for a tuxedo for a ball or a luxurious silk scarf, this shop’s high standards ensure every piece is a gem. A must-visit for fashion lovers!

Just a few blocks away from Ruth & Raoul is Sirius Flea Market, located on Sturegatan 5 in Luthagen. This narrow, treasure-filled space offers everything from porcelain, books, and magazines to electronics, furniture, and clothes – you name it! Shopping here doesn’t just benefit the environment; all profits support the youth programs of Uppsala’s IK Sirius sports club.

Jessica Hillerström is a constant source of inspiration for Uppsala’s second-hand enthusiasts. Through her Instagram, she showcases the antiques that arrive at and soon leave Retrolyckan for happy new owners. Located at Torbjörns Torg in Tuna Backar, this cozy shop specializes in design classics from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.

Exploring the city center? Don’t miss the well-organized second-hand stores right in the heart of town. Myrorna at Dragarbrunnsgatan is one of the most popular spots for students on a budget. Here, you can find affordable treasures for your closet or apartment.

Another option is Stil, a modern second-hand boutique at Drottninggatan 7 offering clothes, shoes, and accessories for both men and women.

Boländerna, just outside the city center, is an area known for its industrial spaces and shopping, including some of Uppsala’s best and biggest second-hand shops. Why not make it a cycling adventure? Start at Röda Korset, make a stop at Erikshjälpen Second Hand, and finish at Helping Hand. Shop ‘til you drop – or recharge with a snack at their affordable cafés. If you’ve got energy left, swing by Fyrislund to check out Återbruket.
