Cheap as cheap can |
Wiedner Hauptstraße 23-25 Vienna, Vienna 1040 Austria +43 (0)1 504 3056 http://www.humana.at/ |
You do need some time to find a good piece here, but sometimes it's really worth it! The shop offers clothes for women, men and kids, piled up in numerous shelves. Apart from the usual stuff, you can get bikinis, rompers, dirndls or trousers from the 70s. There is an easy explanation for that huge amount of clothes: Many people get rid of their old dresses by putting them into one of the "Humana"-containers which are put up all around town. The firm is supposed to support humanitarian projects in the developing countries with parts of the returns. A branch is at Mariahilfer Straße. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A small and intimate shop along the Freyung Passage which specializes in North American Indian jewelry, rich with turquoise and silver.

Both of these locations are large and the merchandise also includes Western and bikewear, boots, belts, t-shirts, buckles, and chokers. Prices are moderate and a real bargain for collectors of Indian jewelry, et.al. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Main Street of Bargains |
Meidlinger Haupstrasse (at Pohlgasse) Vienna Austria |
Hauptstrasse's – literally 'main streets' – can be found in almost every district of Vienna. Most are lined with trendy clothing and accessory shops, bookstores, cheap eats, and shoe stores. While Meidlinger Hauptstrasse is a far cry from the glitz and glam of downtown Vienna, if you're really looking for some good deals it's worth a walk down this street filled with discount stores and off-label goods. Not to worry, the regular fashion chains and a Starbucks await if you don't find your amazing deal of the day. - Christine Keene Review © 2007, Wcities |
