Why Liverpool is the best city to get into Secondhand September

Vintage, secondhand, pre-loved, thrifted, hand-me-downs – whatever you call clothes that come with their own history, Liverpool is the place to be when it comes to grabbing yourself a bargain without breaking the bank.

Secondhand September is an initiative kickstarted by the international charity, Oxfam which encourages us all to shop secondhand throughout the month. With the cost of living crisis leaving us all skint, plus a whole host of ethical issues surrounding fast fashion, ie. pay, working conditions, and ever-growing landfill to name just a few, there are loads of benefits to secondhand shopping.

Liverpool is a brilliant city to bag yourself that unique wardrobe. in the Secondhand September challenge. From charity shops and weekly car boot sales to community school uniform events and our beloved Bulky Bobs for the best furniture and home wear, you can shop til you drop for less. You can find out more about Secondhand September and how to share you vintage bargains on socials, here.

Here are 9 of the best secondhand September shops and events happening in Liverpool this month.

Paper Cup Coffee Fashion Table Sale, Queen Square

Why Liverpool is the best city to get into Secondhand September

On Saturday 24th September, Liverpool’s newest indie coffee shop, Paper Cup Coffee will be throwing open its doors from 10am til 2pm to raise much-needed funds to support its sister charity and homelessness outreach programme, Paper Cup Project.

British Red Cross, Prescot Road

Rita and the gang at BRC, Old Swan have such a flair for fashion, the shop window is a local talking point. You’ll find an almost constant supply of H&M, Cos and Massimo Dutti seconds or samples alongside tonnes of modern accessories, swimwear, and outerwear. Rita runs designer Sunday events with discounts on top of secondhand prices!

Bulky Bobs, London Road

Home improvements can cost an arm and a leg and some certain flat pack furniture doesn’t last! So, when it comes to a home refresh why not go secondhand? Bulky Bobs on London Road offers everything from fire places for a fiver, to three pieces sofas for less than £75 – fully cleaned! Christine and the team work incredibly hard to turn donated furniture around for resale rather than adding to landfill. Think baby cots to BMX bikes, corner sofas, rugs, dining tables and everything in between. We’re living for the pre-war wardrobes and bevilled mirrors! Very Downton Abbey!

Take Two, Bold Street

Dressed up like an indie vintage shop, Take Two is infact a Barnado’s charity shop and it always has great bargains on offer. We’re talking Zara denim, H&M knitwear and Dune shoes on the regular. Located on Bold Street we highly recommend popping in to check out the special ocassion dresses where you’re sure to save a fortune for a one-wear dress. Great for its range of sizes and right in the middle of town. What’s not to like?
