9 Flea Markets and Thrift Stores in Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv is a stylish city, with a budding fashion scene and no lack of boutique designer shops. But the city’s true chic is hidden within the shelves and crates of its second-hand shops and urban markets. Here are some of the best flea markets and thrift shops in Tel Aviv and Jaffa.
1. Ortal’s Fashion
Bazaar, Market
Run by one of Israel’s most unlikely political activists, Ortal’s Fashion infuses Israeli identity politics with style, offering vintage clothes from the Mediterranean and Maghreb. The owner of the super-small store is one of Israel’s most vocal feminists, who has been instrumental in Israel’s Sephardic revival and who has demanded the culture of non-European Jews be treated with the dignity they deserve. Next door is the Albi Cafe, a LGBTQ hotspot in a famously “G” city.
Antique Market
Tel Aviv’s only proper antique market — the kind that has collectors loading up their vans and presenting the wares they are heartbroken to have to sell — recently lost its home in Dizengoff Square. It has relocated to Givon Square, a new plaza lodged between Tel Aviv’s cinematheque on Ha’Arba Street and the new Gindi City Mall and high rise development on Hashmonaim. It’s set to open again on Fridays so check it out. Where else can you find an old wind up clock that is also a pocket knife?
