Thrifting 'ek art hai , art' for sure. It began in the 1960s amongst hippies and resurfaced amongst teenagers in the 1980s with the growing popularity of grunge and gothic styles. When the Y2K resurrection and Korean fashion boom hit India, thrift stores capitalised on it to become hubs that served Gen Z just what they wanted. Delhi, being Delhi, was one among the first to get on the thrifting bandwagon with so many small biz owners opening online and offline thrift stores for pre-loved fashion and factory rejects, sold at discounted rates. And to save you the time to find thrift stores in Delhi, we have curated a list of 10 thrift stores that will feed your retail therapy urges in style.
