Second Hand September Shopping in Dundee
Hello lovelies,
Jillian here, today I am chatting about my favourite places to buy pre-loved and vintage clothing in Dundee. Did you know it is Second Hand September? This is a month to say no to fast fashion and the waste that comes with it and find joy in second hand clothing.
Did you know that according to Greenpeace the fashion industry is the world's second biggest polluter after the oil industry? Every single second, 2,625 kilos of clothing becomes waste! Also it takes around 10 - 20,000 litres of water to produce just 1 kilo of cotton!
There really are already enough clothes on this earth so shopping pre-loved just makes sense! Here are my favourite places to shop for second hand and vintage clothing in Dundee.

1 - Sook Souk
Sook Souk is a gorgeous new vintage shop on Perth Road. Luckily enough for me it is directly opposite my shop The Little Green Larder so I can pop in any time I like.

The Shelter Charity Shop in Dundee is fantastic. It is right next door to my shop The Little Green Larder, so I shop there a lot!
Karen and the team always have such an amazing selection of clothing, shoes and accessories and the shop looks fantastic.
All of these dresses are from The Shelter Shop
Next time you would like to buy a new outfit why not have a look around your local vintage, pre-loved and charity shops to see what you can find. I am always complimented on my outfits and I always shop pre-loved!
