Shop secondhand and support a more sustainable future!
Attention all vintage treasure hunters, op shop queens, expert thrifters and pre-loved pleasure seekers... your call for a complete guide to the best vintage and second hand stores around Aotearoa has been answered!
Collectors Anonymous is your insider’s guide that profiles over 1,500 vintage boutiques, op shops, antique stores, secondhand book retailers, junk shops, auction houses, recycled building suppliers and more. We've toured the country from Mangamuka to the Bluff to completely update this edition and we've discovered over 400 new stores for inclusion since edition three launched in 2018.
With new clothing being one of the biggest causes of global pollution* and consumerism at an all time high, the planet needs more people who are willing to shop for goods that are pre-loved but still have a lot of life in them yet. Let’s support all these small businesses around the country who are busy saving products from landfill so we can give them a second, third or fourth life and continue their story.
Edition 4 is due to launch November 2020, so purchase a pre-sale copy for yourself and one for your thrifty friend who’s always showing off their latest secondhand score, so you can both get the jump on other people's junk!
