Toisen aarre at Papinkatu 20 is Tampere's largest curated second hand department store — over 1,000 m² of finds with a selection that can change weekly. The charm of thrifting is that you don't know in advance what you'll discover: your fingers might soon be touching 1960s Arabia for three euros.
This is the heart of thrifting. You don't come for one specific product — you come to find something you didn't know to look for. It's the difference between a regular shop and second hand, hard to explain but impossible to forget.
Surprise is addictive
Why do we walk the aisles again and again even if we were here yesterday? Because the selection is different. Toisen aarre gets new goods every week — furniture, clothes, tableware, electronics. Nobody knows what's coming next. You might be the first to see it.
Mass production can't replicate this feeling. That dress is the only one. That chair isn't in any other shop. If you don't take it now, it's gone.
Over a thousand square metres of finds
Toisen aarre on Papinkatu is Pirkanmaa's largest second hand department store. Over 1,000 square metres of carefully displayed goods — not clutter or piles, but a curated space that's easy to browse.
You'll find retro electronics, 1970s design glass, Scandinavian antique furniture and unworn vintage coats under one roof. Different order every time. Different items every time.
“Every time I've found treasures and left in a good mood.” — Customer, Kirpputorit24
Thrifting is more than shopping
From customer feedback, the most important thing in thrifting isn't just price but the feeling of discovery — surprise when something unexpected lands in your hands. Second hand often delivers this better than mass-market new goods.
Toisen aarre is a place to unwind. No rush, no crowds, no budget forcing quick decisions. You can just browse. Today you might find nothing — or something you've searched for years without knowing.
Style grows from finds
Mass production makes everyone look the same. Second hand makes you unique. That 1950s bedside table isn't from anyone else's home. That Icelandic wool sweater is real, not a copy. The story comes with it — you continue it.
Toisen aarre has a special strength: staff who know the selection and can advise what to look for, what's rare and where the good prices are. Ask. They're happy to help.
Come and find. Papinkatu 20, Tampere.
