The Best Secondhand Shopping Mexico City
Mexico City is known as a top foodie destination, but it’s also an incredible city for shopping. Secondhand shopping is no exception. Mexico City boasts numerous eclectic vintage stores, secondhand shops, and some of the coolest used clothing markets around.
With so many options to choose from, thrift shopping in Mexico City can feel overwhelming. This comprehensive guide covers the best vintage stores in Mexico City, including flea markets and thrift shops. Use the options below to sustainably shop with ease.
Does Mexico City Have Good Thrift Stores?
Mexico City has excellent thrift stores, partly because it has so many. What’s unique about secondhand shopping in Mexico City is that it’s an experience. Most shops are located in architectural gems with featured local art, while some have hidden cafes, food stalls, or bars.
While you can find secondhand shopping options throughout Mexico City, some neighborhoods have a higher concentration of stores. You’ll find the most vintage clothing stores in the Roma neighborhood. Many of these shops stock designer vintage and top-quality items, often at a higher price point. There are plenty of affordable used clothing stores, markets, and vintage bazaars throughout the city, however.
