The Top Flea Markets and Thrift Stores in São Paulo
If there’s one thing that unites a majority of the population of São Paulo, it’s the love of a good bargain. Due to the often heavily marked up prices on the high street for all kinds of products, Paulistanos have developed a taste for buying things secondhand. From Facebook groups to good old-fashioned thrift stores, there’s always a way to buy something cheaper—you just need to know where to look. Here is a selection of São Paulo’s best flea markets and thrift stores.
Minha Avó Tinha
In the bustling commercial neighborhood of Lapa, you’ll find one of São Paulo’s most famous and best flea markets. Minha Avó Tinha (meaning My Grandmother Had) has an incredible selection of vintage clothing, footwear, jewelry, accessories, antiques and almost anything you can imagine, with some pieces dating back to the 1920s. Whether you’re looking for a hat, a tea set or an old television, the chances are you’ll find one at Minha Avó Tinha.
The store is a 10-minute walk from the Lapa overground train station, and they even maintain a selection of their pieces available to buy online.
