15 secondhand stores throughout Copenhagen
Are you looking for recycled gold, unique vintage items or just lots of secondhand clothes? Then you can explore our 15 local thrift stores and help support the Red Cross' work both locally and globally.
Find a store near youI At the Red Cross Capital's secondhand shops you can find everything fromclothes, shoes, accessories, furniture, music, movies, children's clothes, toys and much, much more.
Here you will find things you won't find anywhere else. Every visit is unique, because no store is the same tomorrow as it is today. When that beautiful skirt or charming sofa is sold, we don't have another one like it. We have what we have – until we don't have it anymore. But fortunately, the opposite is also true. Tomorrow we have something we didn't have today.
DONATE CLOTHES AND FURNITURE
At Red Cross Hovedstaden, we receive many different types of donations with great gratitude - and our volunteer drivers are happy to pick up the goods from you when they have time.
Unfortunately, we sometimes have to say no to things we feel we can't sell.
Read more about what we receive, and what we prefer not to receive, here.

As a volunteer in our thrift stores, you are an important part of the operation, appearance and working environment of each store. We therefore expect you to be open-minded, welcoming and ready to take on some of the responsibility for the store to function well.

Recycling of any kind
With 15 secondhand stores, we are the largest in Copenhagen. Five of our stores are called “megastores”, where you can find a large selection of all kinds of secondhand goods. Seven of our stores are clothing stores, which focus exclusively on clothes, shoes and accessories. Two of our stores sell second-hand from young people to young people. Last but not least, we have a children's store with a focus on clothing and equipment for children.
