I had completely forgotten to look before we had gone away, probably because we had so much planned already.
Episode vintage:
There are 2 shops in Amsterdam both are big shops full of reworked vintage clothes, lots of skirts made from older pieces (I bought one myself)
Episode offers a huge range for both guys and girls which is a nice change, my boyfriend got a hawaiian shirt.
They also stock a lot of scarves, sports t-shirts and jumpers.
This is what I bought:
I love this skirt its on trend, its comfy and despite the bold pattern it goes with most things!
and I also bought this pretty scarf.
you will find Episode at Waterlooplien and Berenstraat

Waterlooplien Market
A busy market by the canal. Expect to find souvenirs, smoking paraphernalia and second hand clothing.
Ben bought a fab levis denim jacket for cheaper than they were in Episode next door.
He was really happy with this because he had his levi jacket stolen from a club back home recently.
The tour guides say its open Monday - Friday 9-5.30pm and Saturday 8.30-5.30pm however we turned up at 11am and found most stalls werent open yet.
The best things about vinatge shopping in Amsterdam - the euro/pound is very similar atm so you know roughly what an item is selling for and you can work out if its worth the price or not, generally I found the vintage shops quite resonable but the more you can get from a market the better :)
