An absolute gem! Definitely worth visiting/exploring! Had a chance to visit the store last year, purchased a wonderful vintage jacket and a few skirts. Loving it! ❤️

This is one of the best retro/vintage stores in Istanbul. Lots of Turkish movies and series take their dressing customs from here. My daughter likes this shop very much and tries to visit it every time she comes to Istanbul.

A nice selection of almost everything you could be looking for in a retro way. Huge selection of neckties that felt like digging for treasure… a bit smelly, though, because of the basement location, but be sure to drop by if you’re in the area.

I found a nice jacket, but didn't buy it because it was 1500 TL and it even had stains (=75 euro at the moment). They have nice stuff, but it is really expensive for secondhand stuff.

Little gem in rush city! You can find there anything for your 80s outfit or costume party. But there are no prices tags and option of paying by card. We felt like that the dress could be less than 500TL in this type of second hand shop, but it was still better price than down around Galata tower..

I can't go to Istanbul without stopping here. I think it might be the largest vintage shop in istanbul. It's always fun to dig through all the dresses, skirts, blouse and jackets. They have every item of clothing so it is a one stop shop. I paid 150tl for a dress and 100tl for a blouse in case anyone is worried about the scam comments. I found these prices to be very reasonable.

They have a huge selection however I suspect all items are heavily overpriced. I was looking for ski clothes which they have a lot but not in particularly great condition. The sales lady wanted to sell a worn out ski jacket for 300 lira I would better buy a new one. Later I found some much cheaper second hand clothing in the weekly market.
