so you can shop with some sanity 😅
Hey there,
If you do ask us, it is perhaps most challenging for an online secondhand store with an inventory as massive as ours to keep our products organised (in particular, given our limited resources and manpower)! We’ve got over 20,000 items in store at any one time; this means close to 20,000 unique items in stock. How does one manually organise everything? 😱
As we continue to upsize and increase our inventory, we’re also keeping in mind that it isn’t as much fun to rummage online as it is to do so at a thrift store, in person! As we’d like for you to browse our store with some sanity, this is user experience that we’ve spent and we’re spending time on to improve!

🌰 TL;DR 🌰 Thryft: Here’s 20,000 things for you to look at 👀 You:  |
Now you can browse by categories!
Of course, it’s fair to say that half the fun of thrifting is in stumbling across an item that we otherwise wouldn’t have heard of, or seen around!
Like this copy of 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff, that T from our team is at the moment very much enjoying 😊
To this end, we’ve redesigned our store to allow for easy browsing by categories. Beyond the obvious, in addition to going through genres for books or types for clothes, we’ve also made it such that you can shop by topic or by style within our main categories! How cool is that 😎
Check it out:
Use our Browse Bars when you enter the landing pages for Books and Clothes to narrow your search.
You can also filter for Topics within genres for books...
..and for your preferred Styles within each type of clothing!
There is also a customised set of filters, relevant to each product type, that you can play around with.
Look for titles in Books that are New in Store under Ways to Shop, or further filter our selection of Productivity titles by other Topics such as Leadership.
In Clothes, you can also browse by Size, by Pattern or by Colour.
Go through Publishers in Vintage and Rare Books, if you’re looking to collect a specific edition!
Write us!
If you’ve got in mind other ways that could help you with your browsing, let us know! 🕵️♀️
Otherwise, try it for yourself in our store!
Sincerely,
Thryft
