Stichting Wereldhuis Eindhoven

In the Blaarthem neighborhood, just outside the city center, you'll find Wereldhuis, a thrift store housed in an old school building.

De Doorstroom

Thrift shop De Doorstroom is a favorite in Woensel-West. As soon as you step inside, you’ll understand why. Walking among the second-hand furniture, you’ll fall in love with your new garden table or bookcase just like that. You can also pick up cool lamps, toys, books, and other fun stuff here. Great for your wallet and for the environment too.

Terre des Hommes 

Enter one of the Netherlands' most renowned thrift stores: Terre des Hommes. This foundation passionately combats the exploitation of children, channeling the proceeds from second-hand sales, including clothing and toys, toward this noble cause. Located on the Leenderweg, the cozy shop invites you to explore an eclectic collection of items, each purchase contributing not only to your finds but also to a profoundly meaningful mission.

Emmaus Eindhoven 

As a thrift enthusiast, you've probably heard of Emmaus (or maybe even shopped there!), but did you know that Emmaus is more than just a thrift store? It operates as a living and working community, dedicated to providing housing and work experience for those facing homelessness. Open on Wednesdays and Saturdays, this unique establishment not only offers a treasure trove of second-hand delights but also stands as a beacon of support and opportunity for the community it serves.

Dorcas

At thrift shop Dorcas, you can buy beautiful second-hand items and help people in need. The proceeds from your shopping basket go to fighting poverty in Eindhoven. Dorcas is the place to go in Woensel-Noord for second-hand books, toys, games, crockery, and much more. Have you shopped a bit more than you can carry? You can also have your new treasures delivered to your home. 

Cambodia-Dutch 

Tucked away in a courtyard on Floralaan, you’ll find the thrift shop Cambodia-Dutch. The store is small, but truly delightful. Dedicated treasure hunters can uncover the most unique finds here. In addition to secondhand items, Cambodia-Dutch also sells moringa and turmeric products grown in the Cambodian villages the shop supports. All proceeds go toward meaningful projects in Cambodia, such as a hospital, a water purification system, and free English classes.

Het Goed

Het Goed is widely known among avid thrift shoppers. All thanks to the large surface of the stores. The same applies to the Eindhoven store. With space for interior goodies, clothing, and other knick-knacks, everyone can find a little something to bring revive at home.
