American thrift chain Savers is putting down serious roots in Sydney. Just a few months after opening its first store in Hoxton Park, a second store in Darlinghurst has been announced.

The San Francisco-born brand has been operating in Australia for 25 years, meeting an increasing consumer demand for sustainable and affordable preloved clothing.

The Darlinghurst store will be a boutique, a more compact offering and the brand’s first store of this kind Australia. “The new store will not only showcase the best in preloved fashion, but will also strengthen our commitment to sustainability,” said Savers Australia managing director Michael Fisher.

The Darlinghurst boutique will be smaller than the western Sydney “superstore”. “[The] Oxford Street store provides a unique opportunity to experience this in a smaller format, continuing to showcase the one-of-a-kind fashion finds that Savers is known for, right in the heart of Sydney,” says Fisher.

The Hoxton Park store sells everything from washers to glassware to kids’ toys, and though smaller, the Darlinghurst store will still offer “a little bit of everything”.

As well as giving you the chance to respond to any outfit compliments with the smug “Thank you – it’s thrifted”, shopping at Savers is sustainable. The existing 13 Australian stores have reportedly diverted over 7.5 million kilograms of textile waste from landfill, and the new store will continue to contribute in this way.

Savers will open at Shop 31-33, Oxford Square, Darlinghurst in late October.
