Oxfam Originals

Since Topshop started filling racks with other people's cast-offs at 17 times their original price, Oxfam have decided to move into the market with expensive charity clothes under the guise of 'Oxfam Originals'. Basically it's pre-sorted, pre-picked 'retro' clothing marked up by around about five to ten quid per item, which although it might seem extortionate in Oxfam, isn't really that much when you think about it. Sure it takes some of the fun out of rifling through the charity shops, but it's great if you're lazy. There are also loads of books and some records and CDs at more reasonable prices.
