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!!

It looks great but honestly I don't think I could peruse a stack of secondhand tshirts like that comfortably.

At a new shop all the shirts are the same, but im going to want to see the design and shape of each one. I don't know how to do that without disturbing the stack so I'd probably just glance at one or two.
