1. VINTAGE
A lot of people clear out their wardrobe in spring, giving them away to charity shops etc, and that means there is an opportunity to find some lovely, often barely worn, high-end winter jackets for a very reasonable price. Now not all charities sell our their stock immediately, some try to find regional bases that will sell at a higher price or get them redesigned. Nonetheless there is always that opportunity to grab a fine coat.
2. STOCK CLEARANCES
High street shops clear their stock in a new season in order to make room for new stock and that means clearance sales💃🏽💃🏽. I don’t know about you, but I get a satisfying smug look when I can grab an item for 95% of its original price. It almost feels like I beat the retailer at their game.
