Those visiting Amsterdam often end up wandering the markets, especially Waterlooplein just behind the Rembrandt House. While it is possible to find some gems among the plentiful stock of the market, the real second hand/vintage legend in Amsterdam is called Episode.

You may know it from London, Antwerp, Brussels or Paris, all cities where this shop has a presence. The idea is not a new one, second hand clothes. But what is great is that they've got an extensive collection of every kind of clothing one might wish for. Different era's as well, though lets be honest, the 80's produced alot of surplus clothing that is just waiting around for new owners.

Even if you weren't thinking about buying new clothes, Episode in Amsterdam is a fun place to go to just try things on, have a laugh, maybe even take a picture. Later you can tell people of "that second hand shop we went to."

The store is open everyday, for exact hours and address, check the website.
