Oooo girl when I tell you I was SHOOK! I literally froze for a sec and was like WTFF is happening! to be fair, there was a slight language barrier so it took us a min to sort everything out but she was low-key yelling at me and the other girl who sold it out of frustration but I GET IT! I woulda been upset too if someone else sold my vintage for hecka cheap! I think she was securing the sale at her price so that's why she walked us to the atm - at this point she had the jacket in her hand so im sure she wanted to make sure I didnt flake. I was already in love with the jacket and wanted it as a memory of Iceland even if it did have a hefty price :( buuuuuut at least the Moto jacket comes with a story now lololol

daaang these prices are crazy. These were probably all curated thrift stores, really cheap thrift-stores (at least here in greece) normally don't appear in google maps so you really have to just know the area to find cheap un-curated ones. Those thrift-stores here are typically called outlets (but you still can't find them on google maps with that name) and during sales you can buy clothes for 1€

Icelandic is very expensive, those are mostly normal prices

Thrifting in Europe is quite different than in US. For example in Poland a lot of thrift stores have clothes on kilograms, and in the new stock day the price is around 20 usd per kg, but the price decreases every day and on the last day before new stock the price is 5 usd per kg. But the vintage shops can be extremely expensive. I also had good experiences with thrifting Spain, Denmark and Italy. In Italy and Denmark my best finds were at Sunday’s flea markets, while in Spain I found cute stuff in vintage shops and they weren’t crazy expensive.

Finally the Iceland video! Hope you guys had a ton of fun!

Woww that last story leaves a bad taste in my mouth because why would you go off on a customer that thinks something costs... what they were told it costs?? Like yell at your employee sure, but not at the customer! That honestly sounds kind of scammy, but I'm glad you were able to talk down the final price. Looks like Iceland is a pricey place to thrift but you got some cute and unique items and they'll always remind you of your trip :)

i live in france and “thrift stores” are very curated and expensive. it’s really more like vintage shops than anything. but there are some associations that sell everything and anything for very cheap (they take donations) to cater to those that can only afford second hand and those are closer to a classic american goodwill. but yeah it feels like the vintage stores are lowkey a scam sometimes because of how high they hike up the price for items that they probably bought for under 10€. when i see how cheap you find things in LA it makes me so sad that it’s not that easy in europe

Iceland looks so cool! I flew over it when I went to England/Scotland/Ireland this past year and the thrifting at those places is about the same! Very expensive. However, there seems to be reasonable charity shops in the uk compared to what you showed us in reykjavik. As a native who visited and shopped in nyc/Portland/Seattle/Vegas/phoenix , LA has the best inventory for the low-ish prices lol(designer for good prices)

I've only ever been to an airport in Iceland during a layover to France but dude the water 😙👌 so good. The veggie burgers 🤤💕 Amazing. I would love to go back to check out the thrift stores tho !

Also, if you loved the steampunk anthology edited by Kelly Link, I recommend checking out her books! She also writes short stories and they are weird and cooky and wonderful. She's one of my favorite authors!

Glad you had fun! Thrifting in Iceland is expensive!

I went to Amsterdam in March. One of the thrift store that I went was selling their clothes by kilo and their prices ranged between 30€/kg and 90€/kg. They didn't even have luxury or super rare items in there.

There is one more thrift store in down town Reykjavik that I think you would’ve liked. It’s called Fatamarkaðurinn (at the bus central stop Hlemmur downtown) and there you can shop by kilograms. So much fun to shop there! But the thrift stores downtown are too expensive, you can thrift for much better prices in other parts of Reykjavik.

Love seeing other country’s thrift stores! Not sure about toning vid cause I feel it feeds into the pressure of having a “hot” summer bod… maybe have trigger warning??

In my experience buying vintage or thrifted clothes abroad, the prices tend to be a premium. I will say you can score some deals at charity shops in the UK but overall I think it tends to be pricer because many times it's American clothing. My two cents!

that first sweatshirt is stunning but oh my the price- its really cool watching these videos, i live in ireland and grew up thrifting, i love it, but omg the shops in america look so much better then the ones here ahhh

i don't want to know what new clothes cost in iceland, wow! i guess it's an exchange rate issue but without an iceland income that's roughhh

Hello, person from Iceland here. Iceland is one of the most expensive countries in the world, and it doesn't help that we live in the middle of the ocean and have almost everything imported. When we order things from abroad, shipping costs can be as high as the price of the thing itself and then when it gets here we also have to pay huge customs, so...that's the reason half price of a thing here is the same as the full price of that thing new in other countries. I also wanted to point out two very nice thrift stores in the city centre that are not in this video, and those are Hringekjan and Lóla Flórens (which is also a very witchy café, very nice). I also really love the Hertex shop in the outskirts of Reykjavík (Vínlandsleið is the name of the street). They get really quirky stuff there sometimes.
