Merendis 3 | 7 24 Nov 2008 / #1I just moved to Warsaw from Canada/America, and over there, among certain groups, thrift store shopping was a very popular activity. It is like a treasure hunt and shopping combined, and you have a much better opportunity to find something unique, or even sometimes a real vintage treasure!Are such stores popular here? What is the word in Polish for thrift store? And does anyone know any good ones in Warsaw?

boydie 28 Nov 2008 / #6In NE of POland there is Gwozdziej, in almost every town - clothes, mostly from Britain I think.In Warsaw there is Dago, they have a few shops -one opposite the Traffic Shop - second hand clothes, some English books etc.Note that these guys are businesses, not charity shops !

raggamuffin 5 Dec 2008 / #8Lumpex, thats the word everyone uses here.interesting buisness, Charity shops in the UK have people who collect donated clothes. The people who collect them keep a percentage of the clothes and xport them to Poland, where they are then sold to the poor. (how very charitable)
