The Thrift Store Christmas Extraveganza!!

Thursday, 10 December 2009 ,

This event is fantastic and shouldn’t be missed!!

see you there…

“How I ever lived without The East End Thrift Store is a mystery. The clue’s in the name – ‘thrift’ rather than ‘vintage’, which means you get essentially all the fab gear of yesteryear at prices that would get Del Boy all a-quiver. Most of the stock is around the £7-£10 mark, but if you splash out £15 you could get the one-of-a-kind turquoise evening dress with marabou trim on its hem. It might not be as pretty as some of the other vintage shops, but the stripped warehouse space has a certain functional charm all of its own.” Time out

Normal opening hours are Mon-Sun,  11am – 6pm, but as an extra special treat, The East End Thrift Store is opening its doors for some late night shopping.

• 26th Feb – 7pm until late!
• Unit 1A Watermans building, Assembly Passage, E1 (Stepney Green tube)

see you there xx
