The rise of sustainable fashion in recent years has been swift, and we’re not mad about it.
Buying pre-loved goods adds such a satisfying sense of achievement to shopping, and for those of us with a slight to moderate uniqueness complex when it comes to fashion, you can’t put a price on being able to say ‘Where’s my dress from? Oh, it’s thrifted. Sorry!’ Equally, being able to show off your oh-so-timeless Chanel slingbacks, or embroidered SS2000 Fendi baguette bag, knowing you paid less than 50% of the RRP, is an almost unrivalled feeling.
That said, it takes real time and skill to perfect your thrifting game, and it can take years to cultivate your craft. Luckily for you, we’ve decided to share all of the UAE’s best kept secrets for sourcing the wardrobe of your dreams for a fraction of the price. Happy thrifting.
Thrift For Good

📍Palm Jumeirah, Dubai
Thrift For Good is a classic good ol’ thrift store. It’s one that hasn’t caved to the whims and aesthetics of a fast-paced place like Dubai, and is still committed to rehoming items just to reuse them, as well as redirect the money to a good cause.
Urban Market Concept

This one is pretty cool, if we do say so ourselves. A step above the standard thrift store, Urban Market Concept, as the name suggests, is more like a concept store for thrifty people.
Set up in 2021, they put on events with music, food, drinks and, of course, stalls from popular vintage, second-hand and independent sellers in the area. The venue changes from event to event, so you have to stay on your toes and keep an eye on their Instagram, but don’t we all love a good secret?
