Hosanna Op Shop

I’ve been finding that some of the chain stores like Salvos & even Savers are wising up to brands & trends and pricing accordingly. I went to a Salvos the other day looking for a dress up outfit and a disgusting 70’s dress was priced at $ 59.95! Excuse me?! Did you know you’re an OP SHOP!!!
I have to say I’m with Kamini here… a little loathe to share it but since I’m so nice I can’t help myself! Hosanna Op Shop is one of the best op shops I have ever been to. They are still run by little old ladies who price things as op shop items should be priced.
There was a plethora of brown and black school shoes (should you ever need a thousand pairs of them), great vintage items, loads of hats, scarves and bags and some very good near new clothing and homewares stuff. As well as that there’s a great selection of preowned books and I have managed to pick up a few gems there :)
I’m finding lately that it’s better to find those little church run op shops than go to the big chains, as they tend to have the bargains as well as volunteer staff who are always friendly! You won’t regret visiting this humble little shop.

I’m kinda afraid to write about Hosanna op shop, as it might lure more people here. I want them all for myself! Can’t I? Must I share this with you? Oh well, here we go.
An absolute gold mine. Everything here is cheap with a capital ‘C’ and the stock is amazingly good and varied. Last winter, they had a stunning collection of faux fur jackets, absolutely fashionable and just short of a magazine shoot.
The leather shoes are plentiful here and at such incredible prices. The shop layout is huge and divided with clothing, bric a brac, bevy of hats and scarves, bling accessories and so much more!
For someone who thrives on handbags, I found so many collections here. Some in leather, some canvas and delightful totes. Oh, I could just stare at them for hours!
It’s definitely worth a trip here, as you’ll find many op shops in this area. Meet neighbour Salvos who’s just next door, and you’ll also find another Salvos branch and Goodwill just down the road in Findon.
So know that I’ve told you about the best op shop in town, you have my permission to visit Hosanna, as long as I’m allowed to tag along! :p
