One advantage of charity shops...

Tweet

Apart from the obvious advantage of cost, one other thing I really like about charity shops is that you find unexpected things, and certainly in the case of clothes and shoes you may come across brands you would never have found otherwise. This shirt is one I happened upon recently, it looked (and indeed is) just the sort of quirky garment that would appeal to Big One (who is now old enough to wear adult sizes). If I hadn’t found this I would never have known that such clothes even existed as it’s a range called ‘Simply ART’ by Dolcezza, and seems to be produced by a company in California! Someone must have moved continents or brought it back from a holiday. Now that I have found out about it I have a name to look out for on eBay and other places, I have even found a ‘regular’ clothing supplier of the brand, so I can keep an eye out for more things she will like and in fact I might well like some too! I’m not a great follower of fashion so I basically know about High Street shops but not a lot else. In the past I have found other bargains that in turn have led me to find clothing and footwear brands I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. That gives me things to look for that I can be pretty sure I will like and will fit my feet or body shape. How do you find the brands you like?
