Thrift Stores: The Treasure Hunt Sunday Bargain-Hunters Love

Thrifting is no longer a broke plan B but a playground where the one-of-a-kind piece beats anything brand new.

You dig rack by rack, feel the fabrics, picture the piece with three other things from your wardrobe. In Luxembourg, neighbourhood flea markets and second-hand corners are becoming meet-ups where you hunt as much as you chat.
