About our Business

Since our humble thrift shop beginnings, we’ve come a long way in the second-hand space, growing into a global reuse champion and driver of the Thrift Proud™ movement. As champions of reuse, we’re committed to keeping one-of-a-kind finds out of landfill and helping people reuse, repurpose and upcycle – to experience the joy of thrift shopping for the good of hip pockets, and the planet. But how we do it, and the people that we do it with, matters a great deal.

Following a rich 25-year history of operating in Melbourne and Adelaide, we have expanded into Sydney! And now in a Savers Australia - first, we are set to open a boutique in Darlinghurst later this year.
