In Secondhand Chic, The Guardian offers their pick of the best Charity Stores and Vintage Clothing spots in London in 15 Pictures.
It is a perfect fit for the Consumed to Thrifty crowd.
They call it Ethical Fashion.
Amongst the stores mentioned are Lost n Found (The Stables Market, NW1) which Time Out London rated as Best for 1950s Americana in its London’s Top 20 Thrift Stores .
Traid (61 Westbourne Grove, W2) is described as "Undoubtedly London’s hippest charity shop. This is where Elvis cranks
out bass, and a scarlet-lipped sales assistant throws on crimson polka
dots and leopard prints. Unlike many urban trendy vintage warehouses,
Traid keeps the prices low, includes a sprinkle of designer and lacks
the try-hard pretentiousness" it made the cut on Very-eco London Notting Hill List.
You will not get lost in Burt and Mary (115 Cheshire Street, E2), a tiny shop that offers Vintage Clothing for both Men and Women.
Online magazine The Dish lists Burt and Mary in Vintage London! The heart of the creative scene (by Carly Temple).
I hope this helps if you plan spending some time in London…
