Here I am with Shop Manager, Siobhan to look around . Safe to say that I love it!!! It’s got it all, everyday basics, a party rail, an incredible men’s section, and the most gorgeous shoe selection. I wanted them all but sadly too big for me 🙁 not to mention the SJP inspired jacket…It ticked all my boxes! 😍🧺

What I love about the bric a brac section in a charity shop is how personal it is!

While I’m looking at something I love someone else is falling in love with something else on the shelf 🥹❤️

I could watch people rummage all day in the bric a brac allllll day because it’s so personal and shows everyone’s unique style and I’m all for that ❤️

My home is literally like a museum of what Jen loves ❤️

It’s in my top 3 places to charity shop Nantwich, so when I was invited to go have a rummage at the new shop I ran!!

Incredible choice of items, incredible pricing and I spent £100 and got some amazing things ❤️

Please go for a rummage!

Thrifting vs. Charity Shopping What’s the Difference?

Even though people (me included) often use both the terms thrifting and charity shopping aren’t exactly the same thing.

Here’s why…

💚Thrifting

What it means 💚 Buying second hand items clothes, furniture, books, everything!

Where it happens Thrift stores, vintage shops, resale boutiques, markets, or even online platforms like Vinted, Depop, or eBay.

Goal Finding bargains, unique pieces, or vintage gems.

Profit goes to The business running the shop usually not a charity.

💚Charity Shopping

What it means 💚 Buying second hand from shops that exist to raise funds for a charitable cause

Where it happens

Shops run by charities (Air Ambulance, St Luke’s, East Cheshire hospice shops British Heart Foundation, Salvation Army, etc.)

Goal Supporting a cause while finding something you love.

Profit goes to a specific charity or mission.

💡 Quick Way to Remember
Thrifting = About the find
Charity Shopping = About the cause

Both are sustainable, affordable, and great for the planet 🌍

Windsmoor Pure Wool Coat A True British Classic

Windsmoor is one of my fave ever brands and for just £15, this pure wool, British made Windsmoor coat is the perfect example of why investing in quality pieces even secondhand always pays off.

Why this coat is such good quality

Pure wool Natural wool is durable, warm, breathable, and naturally resistant to creasing a well made wool coat can easily last decades with proper care.

British craftsmanship Windsmoor was known for its commitment to high standard tailoring, using quality materials and classic construction techniques.

Choosing well made clothing instead of fast fashion means fewer replacements, less waste, and timeless style that never dates.

Cost per wear At only £15 for a coat that could last years, the value is unbeatable.

A bit about Windsmoor

Founded in 1933, Windsmoor became a well loved British womenswear brand recognised for its classic styling, impeccable tailoring, and reliable quality. Their coats in particular earned a reputation for longevity many vintage Windsmoor pieces from the 60s, 70s, and 80s still look incredible today. The brand focused on timeless silhouettes rather than trends, which is exactly why so many of their garments remain stylish now.
