There’s a reason why thrifting has been booming among eco-conscious and style-savvy influencers—fast fashion is taking over our closets, and honestly, our wallets too. Thrifting isn’t just about scoring cool, one-of-a-kind pieces. It’s actually a way to shop sustainably and give pre-loved fashion a second life. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love finding a designer item for a fraction of the price, right?
Well, if you’ve been wanting to refresh your wardrobe but haven’t found the perfect place to shop, good news—Japan’s beloved secondhand store, 2nd Street, is finally making its way to Singapore! Opening by the end of April at 313@somerset, this thrift paradise will bring over 22,000 curated pieces straight from Japan to the heart of Orchard Road.
Here’s What You Have to Know About the Opening of 2nd Street in Singapore
The new store will take over Pomelo’s old space (units B1-23 to 34), spanning a massive 6,198 sq ft—basically, a thrifter’s dream come true. You’ll be able to browse daily from 11 AM to 10 PM, which means plenty of time to drop by after work, school, or your weekend brunch plans.
In case you’re not familiar with 2nd Street, here’s what you have to know: it’s a well-known thrift chain with nearly 1,000 stores worldwide, including 881 in Japan, 48 in the US, 23 in Malaysia, 38 in Taiwan, and more across Hong Kong and Thailand. They’re famous for offering high-quality secondhand fashion, from trendy streetwear to rare designer finds. And it’s not just clothes—you can also find bags, furniture, and household goods.
The best part? Prices start as low as $5, making it super budget-friendly!
Whether you’re after vintage Levi’s, Carhartt hoodies, or New Balance sneakers, 2nd Street has it all. And if you’re on the hunt for luxury steals, expect brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes, Loewe, Rolex, Maison Margiela, Supreme, The North Face, and more, all at way lower prices than retail.
Oh, and here’s the ultimate thrifter hack: you can sell your own pre-loved pieces at 2nd Street! Just bring your ID and items for a quick price assessment, and you could walk away with some extra cash (or store credit to fund your next thrift haul).
So, if you’ve made it this far, take this as your sign to reevaluate your closet—see what still fits your vibe, what needs an upgrade, and what you could trade-in. Get ready to shop, swap, and refresh your wardrobe sustainably!
