Leesiders love their style, fashion, and individuality, so it makes sense that we have many options for Second-hand Shopping in Cork City. Though most shops focus on clothing, a few carry books, accessories, curios, and household items as well. By last count, I encountered about one dozen and am listing them below. Several of the shops listed are Irish charity shops, selling donated items to raise funds for their respective causes, while a handful are in the business of vintage style. This is updated from my May 2014 post previously listing these options, but a lot has changed the last two years.
