On the back end of the Christmas season, thrift stores receive an influx of donations of those gifts that were never just right. With roughly 260,000 tonnes of clothing sent to landfill every year, there is nothing more stylish than sustainable second-hand shopping!
Now is a better time than ever to roam the op-shops and find yourself some stylish and unique pieces, all whilst directly supporting local charities and giving the planet (and your wallet) a break.
Round up a few friends and make a day of it… you may even find the perfect New Year’s outfit for a 10th of the price you had intended.
