Second hand clothing has been around for all of history. Markets and shops devoted to this business have found entire neighborhoods in large cities. But today our version of thrift shops is entirely different. They are often large, international brands that are brightly lit, organized by size and type. There are entire communities of people devoted to shopping there, showing off their hauls and wardrobes discovered in the giant stores. There's also the subset of antique and vintage shops that focus on certain eras or styles. It's nothing like what thrift stores looked like only a century or two ago. So what happened to take these shops out of the stereotypes of back-alley piles of disease riddled clothing to a thriving activity? And how did they get those stereotypes in the first place? Were Victorian second-hand shops the menace they were accused of being?
