From Trash to Treasure





Buying second hand clothes in Hungary, and generally in Europe, is very popular and considered normal. People are not ashamed of it. There are groups that go on a hunt, usually girlfriends, and they are extremely proud if they find something great for almost nothing. It's an inmportant part of life because European women love looking great, and who can afford, especially these days, to buy expensive clothes? And since there is a market for it, retailers make sure that their businesses go well. Many times the second hand clothes shops look better than a boutique, with a very unique and pleasant atmosphere. They also sell jewelery, usually have a cool bar section, and maybe an art gallery or exhibition garden. And you can get a henna painting or a gel tattoo while shopping as well.
