Hunting for second-hand or pre-loved or thrift items is currently on the rise especially for products that do have a brand/name both domestically and abroad. Used goods can be resold even though the price will drop by almost half the purchase price or even cheaper.

Thrift items that are currently trending include a wide variety of items that are in demand by many people, especially among young people. Here are some of the most popular second-hand items:

Clothes from the 80s and 90s are in high demand. This includes denim jackets, flannel shirts, knit sweaters, and t-shirts with retro graphics. However, they are still in high demand now too. Sometimes there are still many clothes in good condition that are durable in terms of colour and material. I've also been thrift hunting.

Second-hand sneakers from top brands like Nike, Adidas and Converse remain a favourite. In particular, classic models and limited editions are often sought after. If you're lucky, you can find shoes that are original to the brand. This is once-in-a-lifetime hockey, isn't it?

Handbags from top brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Chanel are sought after for their good quality and timeless designs. Actually there are many more, even until someone found a legendary bag or from the time of the queen of England. The finder then only valued the bag at 2 dollars, but when it was discovered that it was a relic of the British royal queen, it was finally valued at more than 100 million rupiah.

Especially high-waisted and mom jeans, are very popular. Brands like Levi's are often the top choice. For myself, I don't really hunt with this thrift.

Vintage hats, leather belts, and classic jewellery are also in high demand. When looking for these accessories, you have to be smart because they become zonk, many accessories are worn out or damaged on the inside.

Parka jackets, windbreakers, and anoraks from brands like The North Face and Patagonia are trending for their functionality and casual style. These are very on-trend right now, as hiking to the mountains is a trend right now.

Dresses and skirts with floral or polka dot patterns reminiscent of the 70s and 80s are also on the rise. All items have a lot of art and design value according to the trend of that time.

Sweatshirts and hoodies with college logos or vintage sports brands are in high demand for everyday casual style. These also often sell well online or offline.

The thrift trend continues to grow, and finding these items can be a lot of fun, but it's important to be choosy and always keep your thrift items clean. Cleanliness is absolute and we must maintain it, if we like to buy pre-loved or thrifted items.
