Spotting Good Pieces
When buying pre-owned clothing, a close look is worthwhile:
- Seams and zips: Check that everything is intact.
- Stains and smell: Watch for discolouration and a musty smell.
- Fit: Sizing often differs from today's. Try the item on or measure it.
- Material and care: Read the care label before you buy.
Shopping Sustainably
Buying pre-owned clothing extends the life of textiles and saves resources. As a university town, Jena has many students, for whom inexpensive clothing is particularly appealing. Swapping, repairing and altering are also good ways to keep wearing clothes for longer.
Handing In Your Own Clothes
Some shops accept well-kept clothing or buy it outright. Ask about the terms beforehand and bring clean items in good condition.
Practical Tips
- Check opening hours: You can find current hours on each shop's website or social media.
- Paying: Card payment is not possible everywhere, so it is advisable to carry some cash.
- Exchanges: With pre-owned goods, exchanges are often possible only to a limited extent. So try items on before buying.
