It’s all about the Young Co-operators Network today. Read an update from young member Hannah’s exciting charity shop discoveries & the winner of the end-of-year YCN giveaway competition!
Kicking off 2024 with our monthly second-hand finds! - This one will be hard to beat!
I was lucky enough to go on a ski holiday to France this month. I've done a fair bit of skiing in random corners of the world but I’ve never been on a full ski holiday where you don’t do much else. I LOVE snowy mountains; I feel at home and happy but I also feel the cold more than anyone else I know. So, this month was all about sustainable and warm clothing!
I didn’t need much but I did need an extra pair of ski pants. YES- I found some and they are better than I could have ever found brand new.
Black and white- you won’t lose me in the mountain- animal print- ski pants. They are Topshop SNO and in the most perfect condition. The great thing about second-hand ski gear is that people wear it for one season and get rid so it's almost always in such good condition. Ski gear isn’t cheap, so if you can find anything preloved it’s a steal, these cost me £30 and the RRP is £85.
Anyway, enjoy, I hope your charity shop and second-hand hunts are as successful as mine this year! Please do share if you find anything really cool.
