Second-hand (a.k.a. thrift) stores have become increasingly popular among Kyiv locals seeking stylish, affordable clothing from Europe. These stores offer a wide range of items, from well-known brands to unique designer pieces at relatively low prices. With such a variety, thrift stores allow anyone to express their style without spending a fortune.
In this guide, KyivPage has compiled a list of top second hand stores in Kyiv where you can find affordable European (and not only) fashion.
Thrift Stores at Lisova
This area is one of the most beloved secondhand shopping spots in Kyiv, often referred to as a “thrift city” due to the sheer number of cheap stores located here. If you plan to visit Lisova, it’s best to set aside a whole day to explore the endless rows of clothing and shoes. Seasoned shoppers sometimes bring suitcases to ensure they don’t miss any treasures. Prices vary widely depending on the day of the week and the item’s condition.
- Location: Lisova Metro Station (exit toward “Darynok” and Art-Zavod Platforma)
European Clothing at Starovokzalna
The thrift store on Starovokzalna Street is a must-visit for those looking for affordable European clothing. While many come here specifically for shoes, the store offers a wider selection. Prices can be high for a thrift shop, so it may not be the cheapest option. However, you can still find unique pieces on certain days, especially when new stock arrives or discounts are offered. Experienced shoppers recommend visiting this place on the last day before new stock is brought in—when items are already on sale, but you might still find something unusual at a reasonable price.
- Location: 19 Starovokzalna Street
Euro Style Shop at Shuliavka
This large thrift store stands out for its excellent organization. Items are neatly sorted by type and price, making it easy to find what you need. Here, you can find stylish sweaters, t-shirts, dresses, pants, and blouses at very reasonable prices. With a bit of careful browsing, you may even stumble upon some real fashion gems.
- Location: 2 Vadima Hetmana Street

- Location: EconomClass stores are scattered throughout Kyiv. Check their official website for up-to-date locations.
Humana Chain
Humana has been active in Kyiv since 2003, and its store count has grown significantly across Ukraine.
