No rips or broken zippers ( a missing button or two can be easily replaced)
No moth holes
No offensive slogans/ graphicsIn or out of style doesn&#039;t matter much. They&#039;ll often mark it up as “vintage”!Ask yourself, “If I needed to make every dollar count, would this item have value?” When doing a good thing, you don&#039;t want for someone to get home and discover that it&#039;s not in the condition they thought. The lighting can be horrific in thrift stores. ( And take pity on the poor store employees who sort through the mountains of clothing donations. Take a peek in their backrooms! )*End PSA for my fav places to shop!*</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t shop there much, but the standards for most thrift stores are:</p><p>Clean (preferably with no stains or excessive fading)<br
