Barcelona’s Seven Best Vintage Shops

The Holala Vintage franchise is known for selling finely curated pieces of clothing, and rightly so. If you drop by their biggest store right behind the MACBA you will be delighted by their vast collection of carefully preserved clothing and furniture from as far back as the 1950s.

Camden Garage is probably the most eclectic vintage store on Calle Tallers. Though you’ll probably have to rummage more than usual to find something that you like, their eclectic selection of clothing offers stylish options for all tastes at great prices.

If you’re an avid vintage shopper, you’ll probably prefer paying for the weight of your purchases instead of handing out the money for each individual piece. That’s exactly what Flamingo Market Kilo offers: a set price per weight. Treat yourself to some unique clothing and let the scale tell you the price.

Just as it says on the box, Club 80s is a vintage clothes store entirely dedicated to the love-it-or-hate-it fashion decade that was the 80s. There are shoulder pads, parachute pants and leather jackets, stonewashed jeans and lots of bold colours. If you’re looking for something specific from the era, this is the best place to check, and the staff are generally good at helping you find what you’re after. Recommended by Tara Jessop.

This tiny boutique sell original vintage clothing as well as retro-inspired modern fashions and new accessories such as sunglasses, bags and jewellery. It stocks European brands such as Anerkjendt, Re-Kanken and Hymn, always preferring to work with independent labels and smaller producers where possible. Halfway between a vintage shop and a concept store, La Font – which gets its name form the small water pump that sits outside it – is a real treasure trove. Recommended by Tara Jessop.

If you’re a fan of alternative retro fashion, Soul has the potential to become your new favourite spot in the Raval. They specialise in everything from steampunk to pin-up, Gothic to Rockabilly, and stock popular brands such as Hell Bunny, Merc, Killstar and Iron Fist. With helpful staff and a wide range of clothes and accessories, this is one of the best places to find alternative fashions in Barcelona. Recommended by Tara Jessop.
