Frequently Asked Question (FAQs)
Thrift shop is a shop that sells second hand or used clothes and household goods. The clothes or household items either have been preloved by the previous owner or that have been donated for charitable purposes. Usually thrift shops would sell those items at the most affordable prices but some items would be more expensive because of the value and rarity.
Precautions steps must be taken by ourselves. Since the thrifted clothes will come into direct contact with our skins and bodies, do make sure to clean and wash it before wearing it. Using a dryer immediately after washing those clothes is strongly recommended as this is one of the ways to kill the bacteria too. In other words, don’t ever skip hygiene care!
Yes, there are differences. Obviously, you can get cheaper prices for secondhand clothes with the same quality and sometimes brands in thrift shops because the resale clothes were sold about 50 percent cheaper than in regular stores. Besides that, items that are sold in thrift shops are usually perceived as more exclusive and rare to find, whereas the other normal clothing shops sell the current trend of fashion in the mass production.
If you are planning to be a thrifted clothes lover or just casually do a thrifting, then you should know these unspoken and unwritten rules. There rules are; you have to love what you choose, pay attention to the materials, know your brands, try on everything, do not aim for something specific, be patient but picky!
It’s not because thrift shops or the used items they sell are filthy; rather, the stench is the result of numerous household odours coming together in one place. Consider this. Does the “smell” of your home or apartment make it special to you? Or how about visiting a friend or relative’s home? There’s a “scent” in every house. Imagine bringing together all of those common scents in one place. At thrift shops, that is exactly what takes place.
Aside from fashionable and classic clothes for adults, here are other things that you probably can find (it depends on the thrift shops) at thrift shops Malaysia: vintage books, maternity clothes, baby clothes and strollers, vinyl records, picture frames, kitchen appliances, wooden furniture, bicycles, lamps, tools for maintenance, classic furniture such as old-fashioned television.
Thrift shops get their items predominantly from public donations. Things that are not often used or no longer needed anymore, for examples, clothes, home furniture, decorations for home will be donated by the owners to the thrift shops. Besides that, some thrift shops would buy and give money to people who would like to sell their old things. Another ways that thrift shops are able to acquire the items for sell are through store liquidations, yard sales, wholesale suppliers, moving sales, and small businesses.
