VINTAGE

The thrill of the find!

Second hand shopping is BOOMING, but why is buying vintage becoming so popular? The answer… it gives shoppers the ability to afford the latest fashion trends at substantially reduced prices. Who doesn’t want that? Not only are you guaranteed a high-quality piece made to last a lifetime, but also a unique staple that will never go out of style. There’s no fear of bumping into anybody with the same fast-fashion item if you’ve been for a thrift. Although you may not necessarily fit into the current ‘trend’, you’re guaranteed to stand out in a crowd.

We have all been schooled by digital access into becoming more environmentally conscious, and onto our millennial parents we push these views’. Rejection of the fast fashion brand in favour of vintage thrifting allows for consuming more whilst wasting less. Is this the way forward for todays society?
