Second-hand or vintage shopping is always fun in Lisbon. There’s the thrill of not knowing what you’ll find, the highs and lows of finding something does (or doesn’t) fit, the feel-good fact that you’re stopping an item from going to landfill, and that you’re filling your wardrobe with ethical options over fast fashion.
There are at least a dozen reasons why I love second-hand shopping, and Lisbon is a great place to be if you’re looking for vintage clothing and second-hand accessories. Here’s my comprehensive guide to vintage and second-hand shopping in Lisbon.

Thrift shops and charity stores in Lisbon
Humana
Locations across Lisbon (and Porto)
Looking for a classic thrift shop or charity in Lisbon? Head to Humana. There are a dozen stores across the city selling second-hand clothing, shoes, accessories and home textiles. On the racks you’ll mostly find high-street brands, but they do have a section with quality labels, usually near the counter. Humana also has a couple of separate Humana Vintage stores, which offer lower prices than traditional vintage clothing shops. Humana dedicates 100% of its store profits to its social mission. I’ve pinned all the Humana stores as green int he map at the bottom.
Tip: also look for Humana Vintage stores. The stock is not cheap, but usually cheaper than vintage stores and all profits go back to Humana’s projects.
Note: Charity shops are a limited concept in Portugal. There is another charity called Remar, but they mostly deal with furniture – I can’t recommend them for clothing.
Second-hand consignment and clothing stores
POP Closet
Chiado
Buy, sell and trade your clothes at POP Closet. This sustainable fashion project and store offers a curated selection of second-hand clothing and accessories from the 80s on at its small store in Chiado. The shop brands itself as a second-hand fashion consignment store, and on the door it lists labels like Adidas, Burberry, Carhartt, Prada, Nike, Marc Jacobs, Kenzo and Gucci. What you’ll find within the slow fashion store really depends on the day, but it’s a great space to browse with items for all budgets.

Du Chic has another target in mind – second-hand luxury bags.

Vintage clothing stores in Lisbon
A Outra Face da Lua
Baixa
A Outra Face da Lua might just be my favourite vintage shop in Lisbon. I always love coming in here – the shop is big and spacious, the clothing is organised and rainbow coordinated. The displays are cute and the selection of clothing from the 60s to 90s is wide. The store, which has been open in the downtown area since 2005, often gets shipments of certain clothing, so sometimes you’ll walk in to find 50 vintage kilts, while another time it will be all about vintage sports blazers.
Madame Surtô
Estrela
At this gem of a Lisbon vintage store most things are sold by weight. From feminine and frilly 80s dresses to loud Hawaiian shirts and leather jackets, this vintage clothing boutique has it all – and charges by weight. Each item is tagged with a colour so you can guess the price. At the back you’ll find knick-knacks and collectables too.
Ás de Espadas
Baixa & Chiado
The owners behind this shop, Tiago Andrade and Bruno Lopes, have been in the vintage game for more than a decade. One of the first to open in Lisbon, there are now two Ás de Espadas (Ace of Spades) and they also run Heartcore, Zip Gum, newJester and Sons of the Silent Age (more on those below). A super passionate shop attendant showed me some of the beautiful snakeskin and crocodile vintage handbags in stock and went into detail about how each piece in their shops get meticulously cleaned, a process that sometimes takes months.
The original Ás de Espadas is focused on fashion from the 60s and 70s. Inside find busts holding vintages hats, scarves and accessories alongside floaty feminine dresses, velvet shirts, leather everything and plenty of puffs and frills. There are two locations – the one on Calçada do Carmo is just women’s clothing, while the Rua da Conceição vintage boutique has men’s and women’s items.
Heartcore Vintage Clothing
Chiado
Venture upstairs into a rabbit warren of rooms all neatly packed with high-quality, clean vintage clothing from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Expect to find a huge selection of Hawaiian shirts, sporting jerseys, blazers and sports jackets, plaid shirts, denim jeans and military items.
newJester Vintage for man
Chiado
This vintage clothing store is the only one in Lisbon 100 percent dedicated to quality men’s fashion. There is always new stock dropping, so pass by to see what’s new, from western shirts and cowboy boots to Levi’s denim and leather vests. This shop is on the same street as the women’s clothing Ás de Espadas, and the Zip Gum Boogie accessories shop.

This is the fifth and most recent vintage concept store from owners Bruno Lopes and Tiago Andrade.
