This week I
visited the Humana second hand shop on Szent István boulevard, between Jászai
Mari square and Nyugati railway station. I’ve heard a lot about this one, so I
decided to give it a go. You can spot it from quite the distance, thanks to its
yellow signs. The shop window gave a promising look, so I’ve entered with high
hopes and immediate disappointment followed. The shop itself is tiny, but it
houses lots of clothes, thus resulting in crowdedness. This is also amplified
by the constant sales (e.g.: everything for 300-400 Forints – 1,3-1,8 USD),
which attract a lot of people. I couldn’t really get close to the clothes, but
to be honest, they didn’t need a hands-on approach.
The slogan of
the shop could be “Welcome back to the 70’s!”, I think this tells you
everything about their stock. The second hand has a small man and child
section, some accessories and a couple (literally two or three) pairs of shoes,
nicely separated from the female items. The garments are sorted by type, but
other than that, they hang chaotically on the racks, I couldn’t find any type
of color or size order.
The shop has
three changing rooms for the dozens of people visiting it at any given time,
thus forcing you into queuing. I didn’t
have the nerve to wait, but from the looks of it, the dressing rooms were
ridiculously small. If you don’t want to try everything on, you’re in luck,
since most of the clothes are average sized (38-40), you can probably pick up a
nice sweater without too much of a hassle. If you’re seriously looking for
everyday wear don’t bother going up the stairs, but if you want to liven up
your collection, definitely check out the top floor. You can find the strangest
pieces here, great for giving yourself a unique look, or dressing up in a
costume.
Overall I think
this is a cheap and unique shop, if you want something special (even if you
don’t know what it is) and don’t mind the crowd, do pay a visit.
