Beautiful Store (아름다운가게): A second-hand store in South Korea


I mentioned to my husband about wanting to check out second hand stores and he remembered reading about Beautiful Store in a book. Beautiful Store is a second-hand shop that sells clothes, books, toys, household items and more. The things they sell are donated by other people and the money raised from the sale are then used to help those who are in need.

Beautiful Store has four locations in Daegu. My husband and I have visited all four and noticed that each shop sells different items (depending maybe on what has been donated). I think the biggest shop they have is the one located at Wolseong. This is actually my favorite location not only because of the size but also because it happens to be the one closest to us.

What I also like about Beautiful Store is that they have a changing room. You can try on the clothes before buying them. There were times when I thought something would fit well only to put it on and find out that it is quite small in certain areas. I have not returned anything back to the store but a friend mentioned that it is possible as long as you have the receipt. I am not sure if it is possible only for certain items or if it applies to anything purchased from them.

The stores also accept donations so I give our clothes that do not fit anymore and the things we do not use or do not like. They check the items you are donating and only accept the ones that they think can still be sold. There were a couple of times that we had to bring back some of the things we were intending to give as they did not accept it.

I hope you give them a visit as they have stores all around South Korea.
