Consignment store guide: Stockholm

Whether you're downsizing your wardrobe or testing resale for the first time, choosing the right sales channel can make a big difference. Today, there are multiple options to choose. You could handle everything yourself: listing items on peer-to-peer platforms like Tradera, Vinted, or Vestiaire Collective. It’s DIY and flexible, but it also means you're setting the price, managing inquiries, shipping, returns, and everything in between.

Consignment selling offers another option. You hand over your items to professionals who handle pricing, presentation, and sales strategy. It’s less work on your end, but in addition it can give your products better visibility, and even result into higher returns.

Consignment stores often have online and physical environments, which gives your clothes visibility in different channels. Whereas in the past online sales have been growing, now a growing number of buyers are looking to shop in physical stores. In 2024 in Sweden and across the Nordic region, e-commerce sales declined by 3.7%, whereas in-store sales grew by almost 12%—a signal that shoppers value the in-person experience.

Working with a consignment store also means you benefit from seasoned pricing professionals. Whereas when pricing products yourself, you might price them too low and leave money on the table, or price them too high and they will never sell, in consignment stores your clothes are priced by secondhand professionals. Consignment pros have seen it all, across thousands of items, so they price based on trends, demand, and market value. They know what sells, and at what price.

Beyond practical benefits, selling in local consignment shops supports brick-and-mortar businesses in your own neighbourhood, benefiting your community and your style ecosystem, as well as supports sustainable consumption as emissions from shipping and last-mile delivery are often avoided.

Here in Stockholm, the consignment scene is vibrant and varied. There are plenty of well-curated consignment stores to choose from, but each has its own process, commission model, and specialty. That’s why we as fashion resale experts created this guide: to help you compare leading consignment stores across Stockholm, covering all the key details from what they accept, to how long they’ll sell your item, and when you’ll get paid to help you confidently choose the option that fits what you’re selling and what you value most.
