Until recently, buying in second-hand shops was associated only with embarrassment, but I have the impression that recently the fashion has changed. Women are starting to outdo each other in finding better and better vintage clothes and accessories worth a fortune. So I went to a thrift store to catch a real gem and thus refresh my wardrobe. What I managed to find in the most popular second-hand shop in Warsaw exceeded my wildest expectations. I knew that without these shoes I would not go on a September vacation.
She looked in the shoe basket and couldn’t believe what she found. “I thought if it’s just my size, I’ll take it right away”
I rarely go to thrift stores, but when I do, I can spend up to several hours shopping. Delivery days are the best for me. That’s when you can get the best gems. Going to the thrift store last week, I was hoping to find something for my September vacation. I was shocked when in the basket with shoes I saw flip-flops that I had seen on websites not so long ago and it was a pity to spend those few hundred on them.
I figured if it was just my size, I’d take it right away. They were dirty, but I knew I’d clean them up and get through at least one season. Color? Ideal! I felt they would go with everything. Perfect for a holiday.
The smile did not leave my face until the end of looking through thrift baskets. When I went to the checkout to check the price of the slippers I had picked up, I was very surprised. The saleswoman said they cost only twelve zlotys. The interest of life.

Why do second-hand shops smell a specific smell? The whole truth about the “slightly musty, sweaty smell”
Regular shoppers with second-hand clothes have already encountered the unpleasant smell that is present in almost every thrift store. The characteristic aroma is also soaked in clothes. Fragrance expert Simon Harrop explains in an interview with Vice portal where the specific smell in thrift stores comes from. – In second-hand shops, you don’t smell washing liquids or fabric softeners, but rather the natural smells of the human body. It’s that slightly musty, sweaty smell. […] Clothes retain the scent of the people who wore them. The average person loses about a liter of water a day through the skin and breath, and I’m not talking about urine and sweat – noted the expert and added that “all this moisture settles on clothes”, which is why the smell of clothes is so repulsive.
