Thrift Stores in Swansea, Wales

“The Oxfam bookshop has an amazing selection of books and music CD's. It is so much more than a shop as many campaigns are organised from there and Asylum seekers make up some of the staff, as they learn English and help each other out. The volunteers are a variety of people from students to vintage ! All helpful about books, music and Swansea. On the way from/ to the main train station, so ideal for picking up a book, or asking directions. New books in every day and always something to buy.”

“The store is always kept tidy and clean, it smells good too which can often be a turn off for people. The staff, mainly volunteers, are always friendly and helpful! The clothing is of good quality and organised well, easy to find what you are looking for, worth asking if you're after something specific as they have storage upstairs. Trendy, highstreet labels at really reasonable prices!! Jewellery, games, videos and DVDs this place has everything! ”

“Wide range of used new looking furnitures. Constant turnover of items so if you like it , buy it then itself or it will b gone. Prices are worthy and for a genuine purpose. They deliver nearby with a cost around 20£. Staff were very friendly. Got almost all furniture’s for the new house. They have a small branch in town ,with a few furnitures ,as-well.Guys who came over to deliver were friendly and fixed the items in position.”

“What a brilliant little shop, everyone was so friendly, bought some beautiful vintage jewellery, charity shops are information exchanges - a valuable part of the community , as an effective way to give used goods a second life, not just throwing them in the bin , that is wasteful and churlish.”
