This
shopping
guide explores a fascinating
shopping experience in
Newtown. Hunting through a
secondhand shop can bring
real joy – finding an object
that’s totally unique and of
a quality that has stood the
test of time. In a world where
goods are increasingly massproduced, disposable and
made cheaply, there has been
a resurgence in secondhand
shopping. Not only can we
rescue pre-loved objects from
landfill, doing so saves on the
resources needed to make
a new item. Pre-loved stuff
keeps earning money every
time it is sold.
