The best second-hand shops in Moscow for 2020

Initially, second-hand stores were perceived as second-rate stores selling low-quality second-hand items. This opinion was strengthened by the appearance of the first establishments of this type: cramped rooms with a specific smell, wrinkled old clothes piled in baskets. Times are changing, and the format of second hand has changed. Now these are modern outlets with neatly hung goods, about half of which are new items with labels. Connoisseurs of vintage style, fashionistas who want to buy exclusive clothes of their favorite brand at low prices love to come here. For many residents of Moscow, second hand has become a permanent place of shopping. We present a rating of the best of them, according to buyers, for 2020 with a description of the advantages, indicating contacts.

Criterias of choice

There are several important points to keep in mind before shopping. First of all, it is advisable to highlight the selection criteria:

1. location;
2. area;
3. prices;
4. range;
5. line of brands;
6. online store.

Location. The best establishments of this type are always located in places with high traffic: next to grocery supermarkets, shopping centers, more often budget ones. Those located on the outskirts, in the sleeping areas of the capital, are not very popular due to an unfortunate choice of location.

Area. When choosing, be sure to look at the area occupied by the store: in a cramped room there will be either a small assortment and a lack of choice, or things piled up in heaps, or narrow aisles that create a crowd of buyers when looking at clothes. And you can't call it comfortable being in cramped quarters. The more spacious the store, the better. Be sure to have fitting rooms with mirrors for convenient fitting of your favorite products.

Prices. If prices are too high, second hand will lose popularity. A self-respecting owner of a retail outlet will take care of the cost of things affordable for the average buyer, holding promotions for the old receipt on the eve of the new, seasonal discounts. Even the products of world brands must have adequate price tags for the constant interest of visitors. A well-established method of selling used things, bed linen by weight.

Range. The modern second-hand market is quite dynamic. It is more expedient to choose the institution where there is frequent renewal, regular receipts for buyers with different tastes, wallets, needs. It is better if the assortment includes women's, men's, children's clothing. Plus the store is in a convenient arrangement of products by category on hangers, racks by size lines.

Line of brands. Most buyers are looking for vintage clothing, designer pieces from the best manufacturers. So you can buy popular branded models, even if from past collections, but guaranteed of high quality and at a low price. The popularity of the store depends on the variety of brands presented, just a few of them:

• H&M - inexpensive quality clothing for women, men, children in ten destinations from Sweden;
• George is the beloved English manufacturer of clothing for adults and children for all ages and sizes. Sports, classic, wedding, trend models, accessories are in demand;
• B&B - office style for women;
• Momma - clothes for pregnant women;
• Young - teenage fashion;
• Rocky - casual youth collection;
• L.O.G.G. - unique sports models made of quality materials.

Online store. Online shopping is becoming commonplace. It is convenient, fast, and saves money. It is good if the chosen store has a website with an online order function, where you can see how much the product costs and see the entire model range, indicating the sizes and colors. The online store works around the clock, which is convenient when the capital's residents are busy.

Recommendations for choosing things in second hand

1. Carefully consider the entire range of the category of interest, evaluate the pros and cons of the models, present yourself in the planned image.
2. If things are placed in different departments, it is appropriate to go to each. When choosing vintage clothes, rush is unacceptable: there are a lot of models, please be patient and time.
3. Be sure to try on the thing you like: the size indicated on the label will not help, because at different times they wore clothes of different sizes, depending on the fashion (tight-fitting, loose-fitting, with an inflated belt, a voluminous top).
4. Carefully examine the quality: seams, zippers, buttons.
5. Do not buy clothes with severe wear, pellets on the seamy side, with blurred letters on the tags: this indicates a large number of washes to which the item was subjected, frequent contact with the skin, and a long service life.
6. Do not be intimidated by the unpleasant chemical smell of the product that appears after processing in dry cleaning: after the first wash, it will disappear.
7. Consider how the item will be worn: as part of a certain retro image or as a part of everyday wardrobe.
8. It is not advisable to visit the consignment shop on the days of admission. It is more profitable to make purchases on the days of the start of sales, when discounts are already in effect and the goods have not yet been disassembled.
