Cool Second Hand / Vintage Clothing Stores

There are many second-hand - sorry, vintage - clothing stores in the Zurich region where you can pick up some natty threads at really great prices. I was visiting a store in Rapperswil (OK, not technically Zurich) with some friends at the weekend and found some fantastic shades (Persol) and a belt (Ted Baker, yay!), while a couple of female friends found über-sexy shoes (Kurt Geiger) and dresses (ETRO, Max Mara, Ellie Saab), at a fraction of their retail cost.

This had me thinking of all the second-hand stores out there and the quality of goods for sale. This is Switzerland, after all, and they don't take H&M.

I thought of starting this thread where maybe you can recommend a second-hand store you like. I'm amazed at the number of them, once I've started noticing them, especially in Zurich Seefeld.

To kick-off, the store in Rappi is called:

Gwand aus Zweite Hand, Seestrasse 9 (website here)

They're mainly women's wear. The woman running the store is mega-friendly and spoke English.

Any others out there you can recommend (especially for Mens wear!)?


Ps, I don't love Fashion TV
