The Best Vintage Stores In Phnom Penh Cambodia

If retro cool is right down your street, then you’re in for a treat when visiting the Cambodian capital as the city is dotted with vintage stores packed with unique finds to take home. Here are the best vintage stores in Phnom Penh.

Color Vintage

As one of Phnom Penh’s first vintage fashion stores, owner Chum Dalis opened Color Vintage in July 2011. With racks full of vintage and retro items that include dresses, trousers, skirts, shoes, bags and accessories, the stock is constantly changing, serving up a variety of one-off styles. With second-hand items sourced from across the globe – especially Australia and Japan – Dalis and her team of talented Cambodian women lovingly restore the items before hanging them on the rails. Free alterations are also offered to ensure the perfect fit.

Sakura Recycle Shop

Shop, Store

The last few years has seen a string of Japanese second-hand shops open throughout Cambodia, each boasting a treasure trove of trinkets to be snapped up at bargain basement prices. Sakura Recycle Shop is one of the main names, with five large stores across Phnom Penh and one in Siem Reap. As well as stacks of clothes, handbags and accessories, a range of other household items, including furniture, is also stocked. With so much to sift through, it can often take time to hit the jackpot.

BKK Market

Market

All the Cambodian cool kids head to this small market in the Boeung Keng Kang area of Phnom Penh. As well as being the place where locals in the area snap up their daily goods for the day, this market has become popular with youngsters looking to bag a bargain in the form of a unique outfit. Around the market, a number of stores have cropped up selling second-hand and refashioned fabrics sourced from across the globe.

The Vintage Shop

Located in Russian Market, The Vintage Shop serves as a tribute to Cambodia’s great artists of the 1960s and 1970s. Specialising in retro memorabilia, the store, which is run by Teng Samphors, stocks a wide collection of rare film release posters reproduced by Kon Khmer Koun Khmer Association. Among them are album prints, vinyl and discs from Cambodian Space Project, remastered tracks from the Cambodian rock ‘n’ roll era such as Sinn Sisamouth, and retro-inspired t-shirts and other items.
