Just across the border from Nijmegen, on Mortelweg in Weurt, lies Tough Treasures. A shed full of character, where old stuff is lovingly refurbished, reused or transformed into eye-catchers for your interior. Here things are not just second-hand, but are presented with a raw edge, vintage flair and an industrial twist. The owner, Bart, made the decision in 2019 to turn his passion into his profession. In doing so, Tough Treasures offers an alternative to the typical thrift store experience.
Atmosphere & assortment
Tough Treasures has a wide selection including antiques, curios, vintage furniture, industrial design, tools, vinyl and everything in between. You'll walk past shelves, shelves and nooks where you'll discover something unique just like that - an old lamp, a furniture crack with character or a decorative find that will instantly refresh your decor.
