Thrift stores in Lausanne
If you like the hunt, Lausanne, Vaud is worth a wander: 36 second-hand and charity shops are mapped here. 11 of them are charity shops and 25 are independent second-hand stores, so Lausanne gives you both flavours of thrifting in one trip.
This guide covers every thrift store we could verify in and around Lausanne (within about 25 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Boutique du CSP de Lausanne and La Freeperie, plus Atelier Sonja T. — each with its own personality, which is half the fun. If a shop's missing from Lausanne's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about thrifting in Lausanne
30 of the 36 shops list their opening hours, which is unusually helpful for Lausanne — thrift stores are notorious for surprise closures. Still, call ahead if you're making a special trip to Lausanne; volunteer-run shops sometimes close early on quiet days.
29 shops have websites listed, worth a look before you go — some post new arrivals or sale days online.
Most shops in Lausanne list a phone number. Use it — a thirty-second call beats a wasted drive, especially for furniture or anything you can't carry home on the bus.
The Lausanne thrift circuit
Plot these 36 on a map and the day plans itself: Boutique du CSP de Lausanne on 9 Escaliers du Marché, La Freeperie on 1, Garage n°3 Rue des Côtes-de-Montbenon1, Atelier Sonja T. on 9 Rue du Simplon, Cash'n Go on 30 Rue de l'Ale, Magasin du Monde on 10 Place de la Riponne, La Freeperie, Café des patronnes, and Le Dressing on 3 Avenue des Alpes. That's the full Lausanne circuit in one sensible order. 28 more are listed below.
Thrifting tips for Lausanne
Thrifting in Lausanne goes better with a little prep:
- Learn the colour-tag system at Boutique du CSP de Lausanne. Many charity shops discount by tag colour on rotation. Ask which colour is half price this week — it changes regularly.
- Go early in the week at La Freeperie. Donations land on weekends, so Monday and Tuesday shelves are the freshly stocked ones. By Saturday the good stuff is gone.
- Seasonal items go cheapest off-season. Winter coats in April, fans in October. Buy the season ahead and pay half.
- Follow the shop if it's online. Some stores post new arrivals or sale days on social media. One follow costs nothing and catches the announcements.
Good to know
We searched about 25 km around Lausanne — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to for a thrifting run. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new shop in Lausanne can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 36, or a shop we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
Prices at Lausanne's thrift stores are set by each shop and change constantly, so we don't list them. As a rough rule, charity shops are the cheapest, independents sit in the middle, and anything labelled vintage costs more everywhere — Lausanne included.
Thrift store listings for Lausanne: 36 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
