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
