Best Gold Coast Vintage, Retro and Op Shops

How good are the threads and “farshon” fads of yesteryear!? There’s nothing like coming across a super-funky find that you know will be one-of-a-kind instead of one-of-the-same from chain stores. For those who aren’t already aware of the joys of finding a preloved treasure in a vintage store or op shop, you don’t know what you’re missing!  Op shops have shed their stigma and found a place in the hearts of hip, eco-conscious consumers.  Added to the joy of the hunt, retro shoppers also know that buying preloved clothes and wares reduces your carbon footprint and saves treasures from landfill.  For the already converted and curious, check out these hidden houses of gems scattered across the Gold Coast.  Featured are the cool retro nooks of Strange Days, Old Soul Vintage, Gritty Garms and Retro Sheila, along with some classic “so-daggy-it’s-cool” Op Shops.
