On the outskirts of Zeeland, a village in North Brabant, you will find The Zusseschuur. This thrift store is located on the Graspeel and opens its doors only once a week: on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.. It is precisely this limited opening time that makes a visit extra special. You immediately notice that there is no standard recycling formula behind it, but a place that is run with love and attention.
Atmosphere & assortment
The store feels warm and homey. You walk through a cozy space carefully decorated with nooks and crannies full of second-hand treasures. From furniture and tableware to books, toys and curiosities - there is something to discover everywhere. It's one of those places where you can easily spend an hour wandering around and come across new surprises every time.

Our own review
One of our favorite thrift stores, purely for its setup. This barn is full of stuff, some may find this cluttered. But for us this is the ultimate opportunity to browse around. You can spend an hour here and almost always leave with something. The assortment is wide and there is clothing, furniture, accessories, tableware, books and much more.
