St Vincent De Paul Society

This is a large second hand store, local people who do not find any use for old clothes and items can donate them to this store. There are plenty of racks of old clothes and shoes and there is even quite a big range of furniture. I noticed that it is all laid out in a very co-​ordinated manner. Colour coded and even placed in order of their use, for example, trousers, blouses, lingerie, nightwear, and then in the colour coded system. So you could find your way around easily. You had to leave your bag at the counter when you walked in, but the staff were diligently working and offered assistance when required. I found what I was looking for, I was shopping for costumes for my short film and I got the perfect dressing gown, it was great and for only $ 8 voila. Also some new g-​strings were in store, $ 2 each and new bras $ 2 — there were my props, but yeah you could tell they weren’t going to move in a regular store so were donated to Vinnies and sold for a smidge of the price. There were also some mirrors, desks and chest of drawers that were a little bit more expensive than you’d imagine to pay at a charity store. But I think it goes with the area.
