We're The Thrift, we love Thrifting and we're on a mission to create the ultimate destination for people just like us. The business has a decade long history starting from humble bedroom beginnings to pioneering the world of vintage streetwear and a couple of years ago opening the biggest vintage store in the UK, right here in Cardiff
After years of searching, a couple of months ago we discovered a crazy spot in Cathays and as soon as we saw it we knew we had to go for it. We've spent the Summer making it our home and when Freshers hits (22nd of September) the space is set to become something pretty special
