Late Night Thrifting

Overview

Thanks to all manner of markets around town, it's rather easy to stock your wardrobe with pre-loved threads. Brisbane's op shops help considerably as well, naturally. Alas, to the dismay of those who like fashion and sleeping in, secondhand shopping is usually a daytime rather than an evening activity — especially in Fortitude Valley.

The key word is 'usually'. For one night only on Saturday, December 7, The Station Brisbane is hosting a late-night thrifting session. Forget hitting up a bar — if you're fond of all things sartorial, this is the way you'll want to spend your evening, with it all going down from 5–10pm.

As well as recycled clothes, you'll also be able to pick up other vintage and pre-loved items, including a heap of secondhand records.

Don't forget to take your post-shopping plans into account, though, given that you might have a new treasure trove to carry around with you. Of course, you can always wear your new outfit.
