Every two weeks I somehow manage to buy at least 10-12 items from the sample sale and well my PAX wardrobe just can't take it anymore and is overflowing with COS goodies. As a result of this massive amount of new clothes, I now have to part ways with some of the old clothes. Most people would just haul a bin bag to Oxfam and be done with it but I want my clothes to go to a nice home, to another vintage lover who will appreciate it. That's where Brick Lane comes in.
Brick Lane is probably one of my favorite places in East London. It has everything: Curry, vintage clothes, lovely bars and restaurants. One of the best things about Brick Lane is the market on Sunday. All of the locals set up shop and sell all of their various and sundry things. You can find used clothing, bikes, phone chargers, benefit make up, fruit, whatever your little heart desires. So off I went with a suitcase of my vintage clothes to sell to all of the East End hipsters for the low, low price of two pounds an item (sequins items were 5 pounds and extremely hard to part with)
I have been to Brick Lane every other Sunday for the last two months now and it has been a success every time, I even have some repeat customers that seek me out. I always manage to coerce one of my friends or the BF to come selling with me and have made 50-80 pounds each time I go. If you have anything to sell I would recommend taking a Sunday and going to Brick Lane, I know it might seem off putting sitting on the ground selling your lowly possessions but one man's trash is a another man's treasure. It's a great way to spend your day as you get to sit in the sun, enjoy a Red stripe, chat with some nice people and make money while you are at it.
