In summer 2026, second hand buyers in Tampere are especially looking for 70–80s Scandinavian design, vintage clothing and quality furniture — the same trends you see in Toisen aarre's 1,000+ m² selection on Papinkatu. Second hand is no longer an alternative for many; it's the first choice.
1. 70s and 80s Scandinavian design
Arabia, Iittala, Rörstrand, Gustavsberg. Finnish and Nordic 1970–1980s ceramics and glass are among the most sought-after finds right now. Especially pieces with hand-painted decoration, rounded shapes and an earthy colour palette.
Toisen aarre is one of the best places in Tampere to find these. New stock arrives weekly, so visit often — or follow Instagram @toisenaarre2ndhand.
2. Vintage clothing and slow fashion
The backlash against fast fashion is growing. More people build their wardrobe from second hand — not out of necessity but by choice. Most sought this summer: linen, natural colours, oversized cuts and 90s sportswear.
Clothing at Toisen aarre turns over quickly. Stall holders bring new goods continuously, so the same shelf can look completely different week to week.
3. Retro electronics and vinyl
Cassette players, turntables, analogue cameras — demand for retro electronics has grown steadily for years. Young buyers want a tangible relationship with music and photography. Old devices offer that better than digital ones.
Vinyl records are their own story: a flea market find is always somewhat unique — that single pressing, that rare album, that price you won't find online anymore.
4. Antique furniture for small spaces
Urbanisation continues and apartments get smaller. Furnishing a small flat needs furniture with personality and compact size. 1950–1970s Scandinavian small pieces — bedside tables, armchairs, chests of drawers — fit this perfectly.
Toisen aarre is known for its furniture selection. Many customers say the best finds come from there.
“It has been tidied up and curated into a really great place. Design glass, furniture and incredible retro gear.”— Customer, Kirpputorit24
5. Circular economy in businesses
A new trend: companies furnishing offices with second hand furniture. ESG targets and the carbon footprint of procurement encourage recycled furniture. Toisen aarre also serves business customers — ask about larger orders from Elina or Jaakko.
