Thrift Shop

This is like heaven for me! I love buying second hand clothes and I feel like charity shops are getting more expensive and I’m finding less good stuff, and most vintage shops are overpriced and seem to be stocking more and more ‘reworked’ stuff, ie. men’s shirts cut into crop tops, which is not for me personally.
There’s a pretty clear pricing structure in here — if it has a black tag it’s £4 or 3 for £10, if it has a blue tag it’s £6 or 2 for £10, and if it has a pink tag it’s £10. Most stuff seems to be blue tagged, and the only things I saw that were pink tagged were the coats. I’d say that’s a pretty good deal for a decent wool coat though!
The stock seems to be quite varied, some of it is high street stuff (H&M, Topshop, Primark etc) but a lot of it is actually older stuff that might be considered vintage. A lot of stuff has the tags cut out so you’ve no idea where it’s come from so (as with everything) you will want to actually consider what it’s worth. I managed to get a really cool dress and skirt both for £10 and they both look really unique and I think I got a pretty good deal.
Losing one star because some of the stuff on the racks is crumpled and probably not as clean as it could be, and because it’s cash only (no big deal as there’s a cashpoint just a moment away I guess). Oh, and there’s a sign up saying no refunds but I saw a woman managing to exchange something — I don’t think that’s a policy but it’s worth a shot.
