Thrift store Het Warenhuis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We kick off with probably the best-known thrift shop in Leiden.

And extra cool: at their little brother Circular Department Store<\/a> materials such as wood, ceramics and textiles are reused to make new products. For example, sandblasted mugs, which are now used by the municipality. At the main branch on Willem Barentszstraat, you can have a drink or a nice lunch in between shopping. Moreover, Het Warenhuis also organises regular events and activities. So keep a close eye on the website!
