To get a tasteful firsthand experience of vintage shopping, I decided to visit Thrifty Trendz located at Highland Centre #02-30, 22 Yio Chu Kang Road.<\/span><\/p>\nStepping into the store, I discovered a variety of vintage toys, furniture, merchandise, clothing, collectables, ceramics, glassware, and other memorabilia from the 50s to the 90s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhile the clutter and wide variety of antique items can be overwhelming to some, others will find the store to be a treasure trove filled with gems waiting to be discovered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HEADER-IMAGE-storefront-thrifty-trendz.jpg” alt=”tarot-card-decks” title_text=”HEADER-IMAGE-storefront-thrifty-trendz” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Montserrat|300|||||||” transform_scale_tablet=”” transform_scale_phone=”” transform_scale_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate=”0px|-22px” transform_translate_tablet=”” transform_translate_phone=”” transform_translate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate_linked=”off” transform_rotate_tablet=”” transform_rotate_phone=”” transform_rotate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_skew_tablet=”” transform_skew_phone=”” transform_skew_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_origin_tablet=”” transform_origin_phone=”” transform_origin_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_styles_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_margin=”31px|||||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” transform_styles_tablet=”” transform_styles_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Vintage and thrift shops like these are usually unassuming and unpretentious: The history of each item speaks for itself. These shops are a world of novel items that were once considered commodities. They are like a peek into the past, a portal to relish in an older era.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=”4.17.4″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Chelsea, 27, a regular customer at Thrifty Trendz, says: \u201cI\u2019ve been here multiple times. I just like digging for things. There\u2019s a thrill in looking for stuff.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThe popularity of vintage shopping might come from the pure excitement and joy one gets from finding a rare gem in a clutter of items, which can be likened to a treasure hunt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nCheryl, 27, another frequent patron of the vintage store, agrees: \u201cYeah, it\u2019s cheap, it\u2019s fun, and you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re going to find. I think you can find more special things, more unique things that you don\u2019t really find in regular stores.

There\u2019s a familiar complaint heard around Singapore that there\u2019s nothing to do here. This is echoed more so in current pandemic times where travelling is restricted and cabin fever kicks in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHowever, youths have been a lot more proactive in seeking out things to do; be it hiking in nature, exploring new places, art jamming, attending crafting workshops, or visiting museums and galleries. Youths are very much open to new experiences and finding more ways to kill time.<\/span><\/p>\nThis might also be why more youths are visiting and shopping at these vintage stores: it\u2019s a new activity to partake with friends in Singapore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cFor me, I\u2019m not looking for anything specific, I\u2019m just going\u00a0 in with an open mind. Even if I find nothing, it\u2019s still fun to hang out with friends,\u201d Chelsea says.<\/span><\/p>\nShe adds: \u201cIf I\u2019m looking for something specific, like a blazer for an interview, I\u2019d go to Zara. But thrift or vintage shopping is different, it\u2019s more like a social activity for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nAs the vintage aesthetic continues to become the mainstream, quaint vintage shops like Auntie Theresa’s Thrifty Trendz are slowly gaining more footfall.<\/span><\/p>\nThe next time you find yourself feeling bored, why not go on a vintage treasure hunt for some cheap thrills?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Rooms” _builder_version=”4.16″ min_height=”100px” height=”408px” max_height=”1000px” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
