Find your best second hand in Budapest

This week I managed  to find an ideal shop for those who want qualitative clothes for low prices. This store is really cheap! And the best about it is that the shop is located in the heart of the city, only 2 minutes from Blaha Lujza square (on foot). It has shiny boards which advertise the clothes and that it offers English clothes. As the weeks past and I go from shop to shop, I started to realize that English colthes whose brands almost always unknown for me, often have better quality then the more popular ones, and they are much cheaper as well. This week's second hand represents this phenomena perfectly.

The store itself is a bit small for me, although it has two floors. Maybe it is because there are dozens of clothes on every hanger. The good point is that they are ordered by colours and types. Jeans, trousers, shirts, elegant clothes are all divided. There are even bras in every type. What suprised me a bit that there are two lines of different skirts; many jeans and mini skirts. The brands, as I mentioned, are mostly English ones, but I found some H&M or Debenhams shirts. They are all under 1500 HUF (6,5 USD). Skirts and trousers are also at the same price.Atmosphere coats are approximately 2500 HUF (11 USD).If someone thinks that the pricez are still high, there is a big sign at the entrance of the changing rooms that on the second floor everything is 350 HUF (1,5 USD) !  I found every sizes, mostly big ones, unfortunately.
The atmosphere was freindly, the music was modern and youthful. My only problem was with the assistants. They weren't really keen on doing their jobs, so we haven't talked a single world with each other during the half hour I spent in the store.

I've heard so much about Háda stores around the whole country that I had no other choice: I had to visit one of them. The one on Rákóczi street has been recently renewed, so I decided to visit it. Well, it was a bittersweet experience.

Let's start with the good side, the supply. It is a typical second hand, so there are hundreds of different clothes, from every kind, like bluses, jeans, shirts, suits, clothes for children and pregnant women as well. What surpried me was the huge amount of shoes on the shelves and the toys for children. Of course, you have to look for extensively, but this is just the way second hands work. The prices are quite low, shirts are maximum 1500 HUF (6,5 USD), jeans for 2000 HUF (9 USD), children clothes between 500-100 HUF (2-4,5 USD). The brands are mostly English ones, which I didn't really recognize, but there were some Zara, Tally Weijl and S. Oliver ones. With this part, I was quite satisfied.

This week I was going to visit a second hand near the Western Railway Station, but it was closed. Fortunately, because this way I managed to find a real treasure chest on my way back to the Railway Station. It is called Dorothy&Aby and if you walk past the store it is impossible that you don't pick up on it. In the middle of the grey "concrete jungle" shows up a colorful, pink and white shop with huge sheets, advertising the most popular Hungarian brands and a sophisticated black and white picture, explaining the feminnity of the store.

The inside of the store is spacious and as feminin as the outside. Clothes from the coolest brands like Zara, Bershka, Tally Weijl or Pimkie are separated under their brand labels and the quality of the clothes refers to the time and effort put into selecting each piece. There are no faulty or torn ones, these clothes are cheap, because they are from previous collections. The prices are different, shirts and dresses like Zara, Tally Weijl or Bershka are from 2000-4000 HUF (9-18 USD). Brand like S. Oliver, Vero Moda or Olsen are more expensive, but I didn't find any dress over 10000 HUF (45 USD). A big pleasure was that all kind of sizes can be found from XS to XXL, in every type of clothing.

The furnishment and the layout are cozy and friendly, there are two huge parts for the tons of clothes, and another quite large one for the changing rooms. The dressing rooms are spacious, there is enough place for your clothes and for you to try on every kind of dress. What was the most positive of all for me is that a young woman stood in front of the changing rooms and told me what dress was fitting and what was a disaster honestly. It kind of felt like I was with some of my friends.
This week I took an adventage of the rich assortment and chose some elegant pieces:
