Fashionable and sustainable: Here are 13 thrift shops you can check out in Malta
Who said old clothes can’t fashionable?

It’s no secret that the fast fashion industry is a leading contributor to global pollution.

Many clothes end up getting disposed of when they’re still more than suitable to be worn – so what can we do to combat this?

Well, many people around the world have turned to thrift shops, or second-hand shops, to get their hands on pre-loved clothes for a fraction of the price.

With that being said, here are a number of thrift shops that you can check out in Malta and Gozo. Happy thrifting!
