The Best Flea Markets And Thrift Stores In Halifax Nova Scotia

Hitting up thrift stores isn’t just fun, it’s also a great way to add unique pieces to your wardrobe and shop sustainably! Halifax has a number of great secondhand shops all over the city, with everything from high-end consignment boutiques to a massive weekly flea market.

Elsie’s Used Clothing

A trip to Elsie’s is like walking into your eclectic great aunt’s fabulous closet. Browse for beautiful vintage pieces and unique items at this popular downtown thrift shop.

Brilliant Clothing Boutique

Label lovers shouldn’t miss a trip to consignment shop Brilliant, which carries chic gently worn designer pieces for a fraction of their original cost. This boutique isn’t the kind of store where you have to dig for good pieces; here, everyone is a winner.

Put Me On! Consignment

Carrying an eclectic mix of vintage and secondhand clothes, jewelry, and locally made products, Put Me On! has somewhat of a grunge feel that makes it popular among the younger crowd.

East of Montreal

Stop by East of Montreal for gently worn formal wear. They carry everything from prom to cocktail dresses, and it’s a great spot to find something special for your next event. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXX-owMDHu9/
