With roughly 222,000 tonnes of clothing sent to landfill every year in Australia, 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 unique and bargain 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 outfit for that next dinner or celebration for a 10th of the price you had intended. Check out these spots in town next time you’re in a shopping mood.
