Salvos is the biggest thrift store in the complex of shops at Geebung and sells a large range of…read morefurniture as well as clothing, shoes, books, and crockery and kitchen appliances. They often have great pieces of furniture for sale, including beds and couches, dressers and cupboards. There is a huge range of womens clothing, mens clothing, kids and babies, and there is a rack of evening dresses and even wedding dresses. They previously had a rack dedicated to vintage and retro clothes, however this doesn't seem to be a focus anymore. However, there are still some great vintage items to be found. Salvos is open til 5pm all week and Saturday, however is closed on Sunday. The other thrift stores close just after lunch on Saturdays, but Salvos stays open until late.

One of my favourite op shops in the area, it's pretty small but always full of great finds…read more Clothes are the best, cute, in-style stuff and lots of it! I'm a size 8-10 and I always walk out with something I'm really excited about! They have two racks you have to check out - the "everything $2" wrack (which has some cool stuff and some of your laughable awfuls) and my personal favourite - the" fill a bag got $5!) it's always full and always has some cool stuff! I got a super cute cue skirt in there once! They are great for books too, there is a wall bookshelf that has got good quality books on it, some even brand new, and cheap as chips, only a few dollars a book for a new perfect new condition one. shoes and jewellery too, their stock is always rotating so even if you are a regular like I am there is something new for you. Not too good for furniture because of its size but there is a superstore just a few minutes drive away if you are looking for that. (lifeline superstore on sandgate Rd, also yelpable) Five stars for this little northside gem!

Extreamly happy with purchase old fashion prices and good costomer service.read more

I literally stumbled across Connected Inc. while out on a walk waiting for a car repair to finish…read more A large sign advertised an Op-Shop located in a hive of post WWII warehouse buildings so the location made me curious enough. I made my way past a few of the buildings until I found Connected, which was simple with the number of cars driving past me to park there. Once inside, it appeared to be the usual array of used/vintage clothing, toys, books, costume jewelry, cutlery and more. But the place had a certain mysterious charm unlike others I've been in and the people shopping there seemed to be truly in need of such discounted and used items, unlike many of the "white" privileged masses I see who simply go there on a whim to see how much money they may save on a particular item, if they can find it, when they could certainly afford to pay full price. Connected Inc. is a not-for-profit charity providing practical aid and assistance to people affected by hardship, domestic violence, natural disasters and more. It's motto is "Rebuilding People's Lives" and it seems to be doing a pretty epic job at that. Donations are welcomed. www.connectedinc.org.au

Lifeline is on Newman Road, next to Aid for the Blind. This store isn't as big as the Salvos around the corner and doesn't sell furniture, but has a good range of clothing and shoes, as well as book and accessories. One of the regular ladies who works here will talk you ear off if you start her chatting, but they are all very friendly. There's always a bargain rack out the front to grab your attention as you walk by.

Cool* clothes for fat girls…read more Let's expand on that slogan (which isn't their official slogan, because god forbid we actually use the word fat as a descriptive word instead of an insult). The design of some of the clothes is okay, but I'm going to issue a blanket generalisation and say it's all overpriced and poorly made (so wait for sales, 50% isn't uncommon). Their official slogan is "Be styled in sizes 14+", but they should tell the whole truth and call it "Be styled in sizes 14-22 in store and 14-24 online because we pulled XXL from our retail shelves and then put it back in the online store as a compromise when so many people got up in arms about it". Positive: CC don't use that horrid lycra fabric (essentially swimwear fabric) that some plus size brands love (I'm looking at you, Leona Edmiston Plus Size Collection). They use a lot of cotton elastane, poly/viscose elastane, bit of straight polyester - straight poly's fairly horrid but I don't mind anything with the poly viscose elastane tag. Still, the decent items of clothing can often be few and far between. Prices are always preposterous, as CC has a monopoly on the "cool clothes for fat girls" market. They make a killing on shrugs and cardigans because they also sell a lot of sleeveless dresses, and a lot of women hate their upper arms. Too many items on CC's shelves are covered in tacky, ugly sequins and beads. Others are t-shirts with horrendous "Little Miss" prints on them, or Betty Boop prints, or "vintage pin-up" prints (and for lols, the vintage girls in the prints are all slim). To end with another positive: CC usually has at least a couple of items that are on-trend with seasonal fashion, or at least not-far-behind-trend. It's nice to have the opportunity to try their clothes on in retail stores, as a lot of other decent plus-size clothing is only available from international online stores. And if you purchase something online, you can return it to any of CC's retail stores for your refund. It's just a pity that the closest retail stores to the city are here at Chermside, out to Garden City, or Mt Ommaney. I've never even been to Mt Ommaney. Where is that? The girls who work in the retail stores are always really lovely and helpful, so this review should bear no brunt on them. Yet for all the good I associate with CC, there's still more bad, and that's why my friends and I continue to refer to the brand as Sh*tty Chic. Of course, I'll still buy their clothes, because I don't really have a lot of choice at this size. *loose term. Read the rest of the review.
