We’re all familiar with the saying “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. Thrifting is kinda like a treasure hunt of sorts — in that, you never really know what new items you’ll find. Thrifting has also recently gained popularity among Gen Z-ers hopping onto the Y2K fashion trend.
If you’re new to the thrifting game or looking for a new place to check out, we’ve got you covered! Here are seven underrated thrift stores in Haji Lane you defo have to check out on your next shopping spree
1. re:drmg
Now that the Y2K fashion is back in trend, you’re gonna need new clothes to freshen up your wardrobe. Specialising in handmade and curated clothes, re:dmrg has a wide variety of vintage clothes, accessories and more that will help you rock that pop-punk aesthetic. Looking for a vintage corset? re:drmg might have just the thing you’re looking for.
You can expect to find items from brands like Diesel, Harley Davidson, and more here. The items are restocked regularly too so don’t be too disheartened if you can’t find the perfect piece you like, you can always come back and check out the restocked items. Prices here are also pocket-friendly, with items going for as low as S$20!

2. Vintage Wknd
Probably the largest vintage and reworked clothing store in Singapore, Vintage Wknd specialises in original and reworked vintage pieces so you best bet you can find items from the 50s to the Y2K era here. The items here also have a one-of-a-kind factor — that’s right, no two pieces are alike here as most of them have been reworked from discarded materials.
The clothes you’ll find are more brightly coloured and cutesy which will add a pop of colour to your everyday style. They’ve also got a pretty extensive collection of original pieces and reworked items in store so don’t be surprised if you find yourself leaving with more items than you came here for.

3. Superwasted
Superwasted is helmed by the same owners behind Vintage Wknd, you can expect to find unique upcycled and vintage pieces worth adding to your wardrobe. Like their sister brand, most of the pieces here have been creatively reworked into items like crop tops, shirts, jackets, and dresses.
What sets them apart from Vintage Wknd is their style, which is more rugged and edgy. Their online store also has a mystery shopping option in which the store will surprise you with something off their racks — doesn’t it sound exciting? Prices here will also set you back upwards of S$35.

4. Woofie’s Warehouse
You might have seen this TikTok famous thrift store on your social media feeds. What makes these guys special is the curated selection of trendy Y2K fashion for just S$10 — super pocket-friendly! Woofie’s Warehouse joined the thrifting scene in April 2023 and their physical store is overflowing with Y2K vibes with their vintage-inspired items and retro memorabilia.

5. Flame Vintage
Calling all retro-enthusiasts! Here’s a really lit (pun intended) vintage store you defo have to check out — Flame Vintage. Remember back in the day when punk-rock graphic tees were a thing? You’ll be pleased to know that the racks here are stocked full with graphic tees that will certainly make heads turn.
If rock isn’t your thing, Flame also has a selection of retro-style jackets, vests and more from labels like Nike, and Ralph Lauren among others. I personally really love their wide selection of windbreakers which go for just S$20 to S$30. There’s also a S$10 section that is filled with hidden gems, although you’ll need to put in a bit of effort to rummage through the bin.

6. The Cartel’s
One of my personal favourite spots to thrift a good graphic tee is The Cartel’s because they have probably the widest selection of graphic tees around. What’s even greater about the shop is they have racks of clothes starting from just S$5 — try saying no to that!
Apart from their exhaustive collection of graphic tees, they’ve also got a pretty large selection of NFL jerseys and even shoes — yes, you can find some vintage sneakers like Nike Jordans here. If you don’t know what to get, you can go for the three-piece mystery pack which will certainly be a sweet surprise.
