Second Hand Tampere is a community that brings together second hand operators in Tampere and Pirkanmaa - from flea markets and boutiques to sewing factories, shoemakers and recycling centres.
As an association, we form a network of small businesses whose strength comes from community and working together. For example, we implement the Second Hand Tampere map and the Tavara-aseman Second Hand event.
The Second Hand Tampere island map will lead you to second hand finds and repair and maintenance services!
