- The most important thing is to know your style. If you have a certain style or era that inspires you, it will also help you make better choices in the store.
- I also recommend being patient – vintage shopping is not a speed shopping. Sometimes you may need to go through the store several times before you find something good.
- And finally – don’t be afraid to experiment! Sometimes the most unexpected finds in a vintage store can turn out to be your new favorite.

- First of all, I look at the staff on site and greet them 😍, then I get down to business!
- Over time, I have memorized the product layout structures of Humana stores and know where to look for something, but I still go through the entire store, starting with a quick general browse in the closest product categories and then delving into the selection in more detail on the second round.
- It’s all pure gambling and luck when you walk in through the door 🫠!
Merike
- Always come to the second hand shop in a good mood and so that you have time.
- Regular customers say they come to us to meditate or to fill their lunch break. Regular customers always find something.
- You have to become a regular customer, because the selection of goods is updated every day.

- Going to thrift stores requires an open mind and patience.
- Explore both the women’s and men’s departments.
- Experiment, play and be bolder!

Second hands are the perfect place to live out your obsessions if you love the same type of items in different versions. I don’t know how many coats I have, I like them in every form, from a double-breasted straight coat to an almost cloche cape, black, white, navy, beige and silver, leather and wool; famous brands and creations from small studios, strange collars and secret pockets.

- When shopping at Humana for the first time, you need an open mind.
- My tip to make the search easier is to know your own taste and style. What colors, patterns, materials, cuts, etc. I wear.
Triinu
- I myself am a hopeless fan of deep red, I immediately gravitate towards strong but natural colors.
- You have to experiment and sort out what appeals to you, while also finding what would be practical. Which patterns you like, which cuts, what style. What things are just fun to wear.

- I recommend choosing one section and then the most important thing is to go through the clothes one by one on the hanger. That way you won’t accidentally miss something very special, and at the same time you will get a good idea of what clothes are there.
- Secondly, don’t just trust the size on the tag, try them on, that way you can surprise yourself with really cool items (I have several dresses and blouses that are several sizes too big, but they fit like a glove) and you will also save yourself from disappointment at home that the item didn’t fit.
- Thirdly, it is definitely worth touch the material/look at the composition – prefer natural materials and things with 100% composition. That’s why I also like vintage shops – you can find high-quality materials there.
I am convinced that every garment deserves a second chance and that sustainable consumption does not mean giving up anything, but rather choosing a more conscious and exciting path. The world can be saved one by one – one used sweater, jacket or skirt at a time!
