We may have missed Secondhand September but we still want to showcase our fantastic shops for buying pre-loved clothing in Cambridge ♻️👗

Looking to refresh your wardrobe while giving pre-loved clothes a new lease of life? Cambridge has plenty of great places to shop secondhand:

🛍️ Burleigh Street is the place to be in Cambridge when charity shop hunting! Head down today to find some hidden gems whilst supporting wonderful causes at the same time.

✨ Give Your Best Give Your Best UK pop-up in the Grand Arcade is another great option if you’re looking for something a little different - they are tackling clothing poverty and fashion waste. You can donate clothes as well as shop in the store and they run a pay-it-forward scheme meaning every purchase helps someone struggling with clothing poverty.

👖 We also have some fabulous vintage clothing shops in the city including Goldrush Vintage, Cj’s Vintage Store Cambridge and Fridge.

So, next time you’re in Cambridge, why not skip the high street and see what pre-loved treasures you can find?
