WHO, WHAT, WEAR

With the rise of tastefully curated, easy-to-navigate online vintage & upcycled clothing Instagram accounts, it ’s simpler than ever to go thrift shopping.

- BARRY RODGERS

The truth is, while thrifting is kind to the environment and a great way to pack in some much-needed retail therapy, it’s also time-consuming and can be overwhelming and unproductive. This is precisely why Instagram thrifting is our new favourite way to shop. Yes, you read that right. Instagram thrifting, or ‘thriftstagram’, is a growing trend, where Instagram accounts sell vintage and upcycled fashion. Think along the lines of a virtual store, where you can find anything from second-hand clothes to designer labels and upcycled garments. In our opinion, any way to shop online and save the environment is a win in our books. If you haven’t incorporated much pre-loved clothing into your fashion rotation as yet, here’s where you can make the change. There are endless options for refreshing your wardrobe, starting with op-shop finds all the way through to re-purposed and consignment stores, and we’ve curated all the inspiration you need to get started.
