Tel Aviv isn’t just Israel’s cultural and culinary capital—it’s also a haven for vintage lovers and second-hand treasure hunters. Whether you’re after designer gems, 90s streetwear, or eco-conscious fashion, the city’s pre-loved scene has something for everyone.

Here's your guide to the best second-hand and vintage stores in Tel Aviv, from hidden gems to local favorites.

1. Flashback

📍 Ben Yehuda 143

One of the most iconic second-hand shops in the city, Flashback has been curating quality vintage for years. Expect everything from retro Levi’s and bomber jackets to classic leather boots. The store is neatly arranged by style and size, making it easy to browse—even for the vintage newbie.

Pro tip: Ask the staff about upcoming sales. They often do big end-of-season discounts.

2. Anikana

📍 Levinsky 100

A favorite among the artsy Florentin crowd, Anikana is part thrift store, part art installation. Their mix of second-hand clothes, indie designer pieces, and quirky accessories makes it feel more like a concept store than a typical vintage shop.

Vibe: Bold, weird, wonderful.

3. Tali Second Hand

📍 King George 74

Tali is all about gently used clothing at super affordable prices. From Zara and H&M to more high-end pieces, it’s a solid spot if you're looking for everyday fashion without spending a fortune. The location near Dizengoff Center means it’s a quick stop during a central shopping day.

Best for: Basics, casual wear, and wardrobe staples.

4. Tel Aviv Vintage Market (Shuk HaPishpeshim in Jaffa)

📍 Olei Zion Street, Jaffaa

Not a store, but a must-visit. The flea market in Jaffa (open daily, with peak vibes on Fridays) is a treasure trove of vintage furniture, antiques, and—if you know where to look—killer fashion finds. Some stalls are overpriced tourist traps, but others offer real bargains. Come early and be ready to dig.

Come for: The thrill of the hunt, mint-condition denim, and the occasional Chanel.

5. Nola Vintage

📍 Ben Yehuda 102

A small but beautifully curated boutique for lovers of Americana and 60s–80s aesthetics. Think cowboy boots, vintage band tees, and worn-in jeans. The store is Instagram-ready and staff are passionate about helping you find “the one” item that fits both your style and soul.

6. HaTikva Second Hand

📍 HaTikva Neighborhood

For the most authentic thrifting experience, head southeast to the HaTikva neighborhood. It’s less polished, more chaotic, and infinitely rewarding. You’ll find tiny storefronts, pop-up sales, and even street vendors with vintage for literal pocket change.

Note: Cash is king here. Bring small bills and don’t be afraid to haggle.

Why Tel Aviv’s Second-Hand Scene Stands Out

  • Eco-conscious crowd: Many Tel Avivians are switching to slow fashion and circular wardrobes.

  • Style diversity: From minimalist Scandi vibes to colorful 70s kitsch, it’s all here.

  • High turnover: New pieces hit the racks weekly—sometimes daily.

Final Tips

  • Bring cash, especially for markets and smaller stores.

  • Sizes vary wildly—try everything on.

  • Visit mid-week for quieter browsing.

  • Follow stores on Instagram for restock alerts and flash sales.

Happy Thrifting!

Tel Aviv's second-hand scene is more than just a way to score stylish steals—it’s a cultural experience, a statement of sustainability, and a whole lot of fun. Whether you're a seasoned vintage hunter or just starting your slow fashion journey, there’s no better city to dive in.
