Stichting Wereldhuis Eindhoven
In the Blaarthem neighborhood, just outside the city center, you'll find Wereldhuis, a thrift store housed in an old school building.

Located on the Leenderweg, the cozy shop invites you to explore an eclectic collection of items, each purchase contributing not only to your finds but also to a profoundly meaningful mission.
Thrift shop Emmaus Eindhoven
As a thrift enthusiast, you've probably heard of Emmaus (or maybe even shopped there!), but did you know that Emmaus is more than just a thrift store? It operates as a living and working community, dedicated to providing housing and work experience for those facing homelessness. Open on Wednesdays and Saturdays, this unique establishment not only offers a treasure trove of second-hand delights but also stands as a beacon of support and opportunity for the community it serves.
Thrift shop Voor & Deel
Voor & Deel thrift store wins our award for the most retro website, but that doesn't diminish the quality of their work! Located on Strijpsestraat, this second-hand shop is a jack of all trades. They contribute their proceeds to various causes, including orphanages, sports associations for people with disabilities, and food banks. Shopping here is good for your karma, so they say!
Second-hand store Het Goed
Het Goed is widely known among avid thrift shoppers. All thanks to the large surface of the stores. The same applies to the Eindhoven store. With space for interior goodies, clothing, and other knick-knacks, everyone can find a little something to bring revive at home.
