This is the kind of place you come to if you appreciate real vintage, not just second-hand. Tucked away on Pieni Roobertinkatu, you'll find a beloved local treasure trove bursting with character. This charmingly cluttered small antique shop is the perfect place to hunt for unique Finnish design pieces, from vintage Marimekko fabrics and classic glassware to jewelry and furniture. The owner, Ritva, is a local legend, always ready with a story and a friendly chat, making every visit feel like you're uncovering a piece of Helsinki's soul. She's been running the shop for 50 YEARS! If you're lucky, you might even be offered a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

At Ritva’s, you’ll find everything from classic designer items to unique one-offs, many of which you wouldn’t come across anywhere else in the city. The space feels more like a curated collection than a typical shop, which makes browsing here part of the experience.

Prices reflect the quality and rarity, so this isn’t the cheapest vintage stop, but it’s a place where you might find something truly special. We have found many unique finds from this shop! Opening hours are typically daytime on weekdays (around 10–18) and shorter on Saturdays (around 11–16), with Sundays usually closed.
