Really liked this video Jess. I'm going back to London this year and want to do some second hand or vintage shopping while there. You should make a vintage/ second hand shopping itinerary lol
Just got back from a week in London with my teenage daughter, amazing time. Watched a lot of your videos. They were very helpful keep up the good work!
Loved this video! I love the concept of charity shops because it’s giving back and they are quite small and intimate. I got a fantastic heavy short coat sweater and great clutch purse at one shop 3 years ago. Cannot wait to be back and see what other gems can be found Love your dresses and the leggings! Great finds
I think you look beautiful in all of the things that you tried on. Can’t wait to visit London this October, I would love to meet you while we are there. Great video.
This is great! I'd love to see a video on Romantic/Honeymoon recommendations :) We're spending 4 nights in London and 4 nights in Edinburgh in early April this year! Your videos have been VERY helpful in out planning. Keep it up!
I just found your channel !!!!!! I love so so much London !!!!!!! I have an obsession with vintage and second hand clothes !!!!!!! Thank you !!!!!! I hope I will visit London soon
I really enjoy your videos . You said the white and black , and grey dress were too short but they look longer on your thigh than the one you ended up buying .
I'm visiting London this March last week....all of your videos has been a tutorial....thanks a ton...from London I will be going to Paris via train....kindly guide in that part also...
aww love this video! I'd like to pop in at least a couple of second hand shops next time I'll be in London (hopefully this summer). Jess I have your opposite problem, I am very short (150 cm, don't ask me to translate it in feet and inches, I'll never understand those measurements completely. Also, I work for a firm which delivers designer stuff in the uk as well so I'd love to find for a small price something I usually just see on paper... thanks for the video and have a good Sunday
Hi Jess, I bought a leather jacket many years ago, but have not worn it because the leather squeaks when I move around! I would imagine this would be even more irritating with leather trousers. I've always thought it was because I didn't pay enough initially, and get really top quality. Can you shed any light on why this should be, is it a common phenomenon?
I'm watching this video way too late but when you were talking about the tan peacoat, I was really curious what brand it was, especially after hearing about the price. I was surprised to find out, I actually own that coat! I bought it brand new in late 2018 from Mackage. It's a Canadian brand. It is a gorgeous coat, they run up to $1000 cad but they're really good quality. I still wear mine.
Ah no way!! I will have to have a look at their stuff. Yes it was really nice and I was so sad the fit just didn't work because it was so beautiful! I bet it looks lovely on you.
This might be an odd question, but do the charity shops have items other than clothing? I love thrift shopping here in the US but I prefer to shop for secondhand home goods as clothes shopping is not something I usually enjoy.
I found charity shops are a great place for cheap house wares if you're in London for a short-term stay like me and don't want to invest in goods for the long haul. Went to a shop in Brixton yesterday and they had lots of vinyl, CDs and musical instruments
Hi, totally off topic. I love your vidoes they have been so helpful in planning out trip for next month. Could you please let me know about renting a car. My husband broke his leg a couple of months ago and is still have problems walking. I'm worried about all the walking to and from busses/trains. Is it worth it to rent a car in the situation? Not worried about driving on the other side of the road.
I used to live in London. Totally agree with Love and London's comment. The only time I drove was to go out of London. It is not driving on the left or the driving that is the problem. It's parking. Finding a parking spot closer than a bus ride to where you want to go, is nigh on impossible.
To be honest why would anyone want to buy cloths and jackets from charity and used shop. You can get many high end make up, dresses, shoes from tkmax, zara and many good offers from debenhams. It is just to keep an eye. U can also get replica for anything but again atleast new and no body worn it.
The clothes are washed and in great condition, they are much cheaper than buying new, and most fashion companies are contributing to climate change and making an incredible amount of waste of all different types. So shopping secondhand keeps pieces from going to landfill, saves money, and doesn't give money to greedy corporations who are ruining the planet :)
Love that you are thrifting. Great way to keep textiles out of landfills.
Thanks for including Oxfam. I worked for Oxfam for 5 years in India. One of the best humanitarian NGOs in the world. 🙏☺️♥️
Oh wow, that's awesome!

Give lanolin cream, mink oil a try. That or go to a leather worker to oil and refurbish
This bloke was strangely drawn-in to this video; have you tried Retromania in Victoria (Vauxhall Bridge Road)?
such great finds!
Thanks for watching Gloria!

Hey Kimberly! Absolutely do not rent a car. Take taxis around the city instead.
@@loveandlondon thank you so much. Not knowing has been stressing me out.

How much money will I need to come away with a couple of full bags. Just for your reference I'm a middle age misery guts (From the north)
Toooooooootally depends on what you get!
@@loveandlondon So how much would I be looking at for a designer shirt or a cool vintage hoody
First! Yay.
👍💋
