Most of us would love to be able to afford to live in designer labels and have the newest fashion accessory but often this just isn’t possible. IF you go into a designer shop you can expect very little change from a few hundred pounds to only buy one item, so is there another way to get that label that you so desire?

Second hand clothes are sold not only in charity shops but also online on auction sites such as Ebay and pre-owned sites like Gumtree. You really can pick up some amazing bargains on these sites and often the clothes are still in great condition.

Charity shops have a bit of a stigma attached to them as being full of old peoples clothes and tat but this is often not the case. I have seen many clothes and shoes made by popular designers in such shops for as little as two or three pounds.
