second hand shops

punk chic or vintage style, trendy shopaholics swear on second hand looks. in the vintage shops you find rare retro originals. the outlets of the charity oxfam offer trendy second hand gear much cheaper than the mass-produced high street copies. oxfam shops support projects in third world countries. at the super saver oxfam in dalston every item only costs two pounds. the oxfam originals shop in covent garden stocks selected seventies and eighties clothes. even haute couture designers like stella mccartney surface occasionally in oxfams second hand boutique ‘bang bang’ on goodge street. in the store you’ll find funky clobber, handbags, shoes and jewellery. prices here vary from £2-600. though whoever has busted the monthly budget can try to exchange their old clothes for a shop credit. the ‘bang bang’ girls only accept quality items in an impeccable condition.
