Take a closer look at consignment shops around the world
There’s no denying it, resale is hotter than ever. Over the last few years, I’ve “toured” some of the many consignment shops around the world. Although they have the same basic concept…selling used goods, every country has a unique twist. Get your passports ready! We’ll travel from the Op Shops of Australia to the humorous auction-style of “Don Don Down on Wednesday” in Japan. I’ve updated each article with fresh information so off we go!
Consignment Shops – Japan
From flea markets on the streets of Tokyo to fun auction-style stores like “Don Don Down on Wednesday,” Japan is filled with fun resale places to explore. They range from a strictly American influence to something that would appeal to “the Lolita crowd” (I’m not really sure I want to know more about that). Shops in Japan are bursting with color, patterns and merchandise.

Consignment Shops – Australia
At SimpleConsign, we’re excited to have wonderful customers from Australia and New Zealand. Although these countries have to have the scariest creatures on the planet, they also have some fun places to shop. Like other countries, Australia is recognizing their responsibility to reduce waste and not give in to fast-fashion desires. As a result, Op Shops are popping up everywhere.

Like America, the UK is filled with people who have too many clothes. As a result, they’re also brimming with resale shops. However, if you’re looking for a women’s clothing consignment shop, you’ll find them under a different name. Care to find out?
