Oxfam Boutique

Immediately this store stood out as an extremely upmarket charity shop. As a committed charity shopper myself the price ranges where extremely off putting to me, getting used to paying no more than £4 for a jumper makes me extremely stingy in my old age and £20 becomes a rip off. The shop decor however was made to suit the prices, it was romantically lit with wooden floors, clean and tidy with black wooden displays for the shoes and belts showing more visual effort had been put into this shop. However the products themselves to me where not as exciting as the experience, a lot of it felt like rejects from Matalan with tacky belts and ugly skirts. I couldn't shake the feeling that the buyer either did not have taste or took whatever they could get and really should remove the word 'boutique' from their title. Perhaps that is a little harsh.
