Traid Dalston

Don’t be fooled by the high-fashion-concept window displays that make the outside of this Traid store look a real treat, because it is genuinely very cheap, and it has everything. While the charity shops of Hampstead might sell you a Stella McCartney sweater for £50, here you can get loads of incredible things for as little as a quid: vinyl heads can dig for musical treasure in the bargain bins, the haberdashery section is brilliant for DIY designers and they always have an amazing array of saris and African fashion. And profits go to an array of great causes across the globe, from projects working to eradicate child labour in the clothing industry to ones promoting sustainable agriculture.
