I.J-HALLEN
This isn’t a store, it’s vintage paradise, and a day out that also involves a trip on the ferry from Centraal station. The biggest flea market in Europe, up to 750 stands comprise IJ-Hallen’s regular markets (check its website for dates). Furnishings and clothing mix with other vintage treasures. This is where boutique owners come looking for stock, so beat them to it and you’ll make back the €5 entrance fee in no time. TT Neveritaweg 15, 1033 WB; ijhallen.nlRUMORS VINTAGE & DESIGN
If you have enough post-IJ-Hallen energy, stop at Rumors near Centraal station. Nineties co-ords and 1960s platforms, Western boots and jackets, Burberry trench coats and classic sportswear awaits. Something for everyone.
