Curated thrift stores are redefining second-hand shopping with a fresh twist. Unlike your typical thrift store, curated thrift store specializes in pre-loved pieces that are thoughtfully selected, often reworked, and elevated to offer a higher standard of quality. Each of these selected stores has a focus on specific styles or trends.
For beginner thrifters in Singapore, these curated shops are a great starting point as they offer a more organized selection of pieces too. Thus, making it easier to sift through pieces and find exactly what you’re looking for.
