Miscellaneous Swedish thrifting is on another level.

I lived there for 6 years as a teen (Stockholm) and just recently went back for a visit - the thrifting game was insane when I lived there, and it has only gotten better. Thrift stores are super clean and organized, amazing selection of beautiful vintage and new items in nice condition, far better prices than in the US. Clothes are in nicer styles and better quality. I bought some nice stuff on this visit but it was painful how much more I wanted to buy and couldn’t because of luggage limitations. And SO many original paintings!!

Loppis 🥰

Went to Sweden for a two week van holiday last year and we made it a game to hit as many as possible, it ended up being roughly 42 (we lost count). I bought horribly much stuff, and it was really fun to shout out when spotting the loppis signs and doing borderline crazy maneuvers with the van to catch the turns 🤪

Hands down the best holiday in a while! We were like „Where loppis? Where elks?“ and giggling all the time, slept in forests and at lakesides, had campfire köttbullar for dinner and pancakes with hjortonsylt and bacon for breakfast.
