12 best thrift and vintage stores in Singapore for the sustainable fashion enthusiast

Sustainability is in, and fast fashion is out — at least that’s what many of the Gen Zs in Singapore are striving towards. With an increasing appreciation for unique fashion finds and climate change concerns, thrift and vintage shopping have gone from being a niche hobby to a full-blown lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for one-of-a-kind Y2K fashion pieces, timeless vintage finds, or affordable secondhand streetwear, Singapore’s thrift and vintage scene has something for every budget and aesthetic.

Thrift vs. Vintage: What’s the difference?

While both involve shopping secondhand, thrift and vintage stores have their own differences. Thrift stores generally sell a mix of secondhand clothing, often at budget-friendly prices, sourced from donations or bulk resellers. Vintage stores, however, focus on curated pieces, often from iconic fashion eras like the ‘80s and ‘90s.

 Another key difference is that thrifting is more focused on affordability and variety, while vintage shopping is about collecting high-quality, timeless pieces.

Debunking thrifting myths

Thrifting is more than just a trend — it’s a sustainable and stylish choice. Let’s clear up some myths that often hold people back from embracing secondhand fashion.

1. Thrifted clothes are dirty

A common misconception is that secondhand clothing is unclean or unhygienic. In reality, most thrift stores take great care in cleaning, mending, and quality-checking their pieces before putting them up for sale. Many shops go the extra mile by steaming, sanitising, or even professionally laundering their clothes to ensure they’re in good condition before they reach customers.

2. Thrifting means digging through piles of clothes

While some thrift stores operate like flea markets, offering a more traditional treasure-hunting experience, most thrift and vintage shops are carefully curated, well-organised, and cater to different fashion styles. Whether you love streetwear, Y2K fashion, or timeless classics, these stores make the shopping experience enjoyable and seamless — so you don’t have to dig through mountains of clothes to find your perfect piece.
