Good quality clothing, although beautiful, can be quite pricey and so for some of us it feels like its just not a viable option. However, there are ways of being able to have these items without breaking the bank.

One great option is to search through your local charity shops for well-known high-quality brands. You’d be surprised what you can find for a very low cost! Often charity shops near very affluent areas get lots of good quality clothes that are simply from the season before or people have bought and never worn. You may even find some that have their original price tags on them.

Another way to find a clothing bargain is to search on auction sites such as eBay or Vinted where people sell items they no longer want. You can even search for BNWT which means brand new with tags that way you know the item hasn’t been worn.

Most high-end stores have regular ‘end of season’ sales and so these can be a great place to grab a bargain. If hunting through rails doesn’t put you off then you may get a real steal in the sale.

For high-end items such as designer handbags you can actually rent these! Yes – that’s right you can rent a handbag. You may have a special event coming up or you may just fancy a bit of a treat but there are companies out there that will loan you your favourite bag for a daily fee.
