The Reykjavík Red
Cross Clothing Store
The Red Cross recently opened a new
secondhand clothing store that’s likely
worth a gander. Each garment on offer
has its fair share of history, yet is sold on
the cheap for a good cause, making for a
win-win situation. The store used to be in
a smaller space on Laugavegur, and the
added space is an absolute godsend for
people looking to make a bargain. One
man’s trash is another man’s haute couture.

Lucky Records
All freshly set up in their brand new, huge
location just next to Hlemmur, this is
hands-down the finest record store in town.
Crate-diggers will marvel and fawn over their
selection while the lay music listener can
easily pop in to pick up the latest from their
favourites. Live music and DJs are regularly
scheduled for live entertainment.

If it’s cutting-edge, international big name
designers you are in the market for, then this
store will be to you like Willy Wonka’s factory
was to Charlie. Fully stocked in the chicest
young names in fashion and some one-of-a-
kind local designs too—the shoes are not to
be missed!
