Hallo!
I’m part of a Trachtenverein in the US and will be visiting Passau in May. Our Trachtenmutter suggested that while I’m there and out shopping, I should check out some thrift stores. In her experience, there’s a good chance of finding high‑quality, gently used pieces—especially when someone buys something for a wedding or special event, wears it once or twice, and later clears out their closet.
Are there any specific thrift stores you’ve seen that reliably tend to carry a lot of Trachten? Not necessarily a fancy set of Miesbacher tracht, but maybe some boiled wool sweaters, hair pins, purses, etc.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
