Christchurch Second-hand Shops Map
Here is a handy resource for everyone's thrift crawls: a map of Christchurch's second-hand shops. I made this after returning to Christchurch and finding all my beloved second-hand stores had either closed or shifted after the earthquakes.

Be sure to join the accompanying Facebook group: Second-hand Christchurch to tell us about your finds and get others to help you on your hunts for treasures!

If using on a mobile, click on the 'For Mobile' link and it will let you open the map and view your position (makes it a lot easier when out on the road).
While I have spent many hours researching and visiting these places, there is still a lot I don’t know. If you have any information on new leads, details on these ones or would like to suggest an edit, please do so via FB group as this is easiest for updating.
The map is updated regularly.

Celebrating 7 years!
This Plastic Free July (2024) I am celebrating 7 years since the Christchurch Second hand map was launched! It was a huge undertaking but totally worth it - I figured if I wanted it, other people might too and it was a hit!
The map now has over 200 pins and our Facebook community has over 14k members!
It is so awesome to see this side of the consumerism conversation - the people going out of their way to be sustainable, keep things in use and support local. Important things to remember for Plastic Free July.
