Let's get THRIFTY !

Writer: Libby SankeyLibby Sankey

Thrifting is a popular hobby and has recently been even more popular among young people. Thrift shopping allows you to find unique, vintage, or special pieces for a usually low price. The trend of shopping second- hand is good for the environment and helps to demolish fast and unethical fashion. However, some say thrift shopping becoming a trend has hurt some low income families or individuals who's sole sources of affordable clothing is to thrift shop.


A unique and popular second hand shop for young people is Plato's Closet. All of the store's merchandise is brand name and gently used. They market mostly to teenagers and young adults of any gender, therefore they hold a ton of trending name brands. The store sells clothing, jackets, shoes, bags, accessories in great condition. A lot of items still have the original tags on the products.


Another unique thing about Plato's Closet is that they will but your used clothing from you. Though they are rather picky during the process, Plato's Closet will go through your clothing and give you a price for the items that they want to purchase.As an option, you can receive a higher amount in store credit instead of cash payment.


Employee's pay close attention to the garment's season, style, and conditions when reviewing your items. Some people leave with all of the items they've come in the door trying to sell. A tip for this issue is sorting through your clothing before visiting Plato's Closet and cutting out the tags on the side of the garment. This makes the style and season harder to determine, and your pieces will be choses based on its appearance.


Happy Thrifting!
