Vintage in Stockholm with Luke Smith

We sent our resident cool-spotter Luke off to Stockholm to hunt down some of the best vintage stores that the city has to offer. Get your passports at the ready…


Whilst Stockholm is known for it’s designer talent (Acne, anyone?!), it’s huge vintage scene isn’t to be ignored. Global brand scout Luke Smith got stuck in and visited the best vintage stores, reporting back to bring you his guide to vintage shopping in the Swedish capital.


Mangle Vintage

Mangle Vintage is situated in the uber cool Stockholm district of Södermalm. It’s a small store, but has great on-trend stock that has been carefully curated. All garments are merchandised to make the shopping experience even easier, with clothes sitting together in trend collections. Here you’ll find great pieces for great prices, from vintage Wrangler to vintage Mulberry.

Grandpa Vintage

Grandpa vintage is again situated in the Södermalm district of Stockholm. This store mixes new products from the likes of Folk, Edwin, and Norse with unique vintage finds.  You’ll want to drop by; it’s a great store with an even better atmosphere. The café next door called ‘i’l Café Soder’ seemed to be the go to coffee shop in Södermalm for the cool kids – so be sure to pop in for a little fika!
