Since it's inside a shopping mall, it felt so much cleaner and more upscale than your typical street vintage shop! ## What does the inside of Viva Trade feel like? Walking in, I was surprised to see a giant silver globe mirror ball spinning in the center of the store with 'VIVA' lit up on it! The walls are finished entirely in rippling mirrored material, giving it a really trendy, stylish atmosphere. The ceilings are high, the lighting is super bright, and there's plenty of space between the racks, so pushing a shopping cart around was really easy. ![Interior of the vintage store with mirrored walls and bright lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-05-ft2bv-900.webp) ![Spacious aisles lined with clothing racks inside the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-06-29bzt-900.webp) There was none of that musty smell or dust you usually get in secondhand stores, so I could browse comfortably the whole time. ## Clothing lineup: Burberry, Brooks Brothers and Polo Labels like 'BLOUSE,' 'SKIRT,' and '50%' were marked at the top of the racks, making it easy to find whatever category I wanted. From imported brands like Burberry, Brooks Brothers, and Polo to everyday pieces, the sheer quantity was amazing. ![Clothing rack with category labels](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-07-su4q0-m-900.webp) ![Rack hung with imported brand secondhand clothing](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-08-x266y-900.webp) ![Section of vintage knits organized on a rack](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-09-19rtv-900.webp) ![Clothing corner with 50% off discount labels](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-10-rrnas-900.webp) They said hundreds of new pieces come in every day, and each one goes through washing and high-temperature steam care before being displayed, so I felt reassured about hygiene too. Unlike digging through the Dongmyo vintage street, everything here was neatly sorted, which made the treasure-hunting part really fun. ## Bags and accessories corner It's not just clothes — one wall has a pipe rack displaying everything from ball caps and scarves to ties and shoes. ![Ball caps and accessories displayed on a wall pipe rack](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-11-9tmyy-900.webp) ![Accessories corner with scarves and ties on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-12-16x8i-900.webp) ![Rack displaying vintage shoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-13-1wzfl-900.webp) There were lots of great vintage accent pieces, perfect for browsing while imagining how they'd match with outfits. ![Display of vintage accessories good for accent pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-14-v3vj6-900.webp) ![Corner for browsing and matching vintage accessories](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-15-1izzi-900.webp) ## Shopping carts and fitting rooms at Viva Trade Blue shopping carts are ready near the entrance, so you can load up all the pieces you like and wheel them around without worry. ![Blue shopping carts ready near the store entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-16-1e46w-m-900.webp) ![Shopping cart loaded with clothes in the store aisle](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-17-gjxag-900.webp) There are also clean fitting rooms inside, so you can try clothes on and check the fit and condition yourself — a big plus! ![Fitting room inside Viva Trade Dongdaemun Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-18-1mbvq-900.webp) ## Trying on the fall knit and jeans With fall approaching, I picked out several knits and jeans and tried them on in the fitting room at Viva Trade Eulji Dundaun Dongdaemun Branch. Trying them on, I could tell they were imported clothing — the fit held up really well and the fabric condition was so clean from the steam sterilization that it felt almost like new! ### 1. Secondhand treasure hunting in a clean space Unlike a typical secondhand shop where you have to dust things off while browsing, it was really nice being able to see the exact condition and color of clothes under bright lighting. Being able to closely check for scratches or stains made it so much easier to decide what to buy. ![Checking secondhand clothing condition under bright lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-19-80gkq-900.webp) ![Fall knit tried on in the fitting room](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-20-1jsry-900.webp) ### 2. Many brands plus up to 50% off The base prices were already reasonable, and on top of that they were running a promotion of up to 50% off base prices. Mixing and matching a nice combo of pants and knits, I felt the value was genuinely excellent. ![Knit and jeans picked up with the discount applied](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-21-p4g11-m-900.webp) ### 3. Relaxed, no-pressure shopping The staff didn't hover over me, so I could try on as much as I wanted and take my time choosing without feeling watched. ## Who is this Dongdaemun secondhand store for? ![Wrap-up shot at the end of shopping at Viva Trade Eulji Dundaun Dongdaemun Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva/dongdaemun-vintage-knit-jeans-viva-22-zzpdv-900.webp) I'd highly recommend Viva Trade Eulji Dundaun Dongdaemun Branch to anyone who wants to score luxury and branded clothing in a clean environment!
