I built a map that shows you all the second-hand shops & Car boot sales in the UK & Ireland

I'm an avid second-hand shopper who's been living in London for many years now. Despite seeing charity shops on most high streets, I keep finding myself struggling a lot to find nice second-hand shopping places like: car boot sales, antique fairs, kilo sales, clothes swap events etc.
I missed countless events which seemed very nice because they were only advertised on some facebook groups, or on some pages on Eventbrite / Instagram etc... I don't have eyes everywhere, so I kept missing out.

I got frustrated, so I built an app that shows you all the second-hand shopping places across the UK & Ireland. The app is designed to be collaborative, so everyone can suggest places to be added and users can share their "pre-loved" finds on the app.

→ It's called "Ganddee" (with 2 'd' and 2 'e')

I'd love to know what you think 😄 Feedback / recommendations / feature ideas are all more than welcome!

PS: I love platforms like Gumtree, Vinted etc, but I MUCH prefer to shop local and in-person. Besides supporting local shops (which I care about), I prefer shopping in person to go with friends, try things on before buying (and check the quality of the pre-loved pieces I buy), haggle (when appropriate - e.g. at car boots) etc. There's also no hidden fees (no delivery etc), and it's a nice way to enjoy the nice sunny weather these days 😄 Other than Google Maps which sort of does the job of mapping "brick n mortar" shops, I couldn't find an app that mapped second-hand shopping pop-ups, events, and that was build for second-hand shopping aficionados.

Would you buy a premium Kala Cotton shirt? Honest feedback needed.

Hi everyone,

I'm building a premium menswear brand using 100% Kala Cotton from India.

The idea is simple:

Minimal Korean-inspired design

Boxy camp-collar fit

No loud logos or prints

Made-to-order

Price: around $40–50 (₹3,000–4,000)

Would you buy something like this?

What would you expect at this price, and what would stop you from buying it?

I'm looking for honest feedback—even if you think it's a bad idea. Thanks!

Do you pay attention to fabric composition labels when donating or recycling clothes?

Random thought while cleaning out my wardrobe:

When clothes get donated or recycled, the fabric label is often the only real info attached to them. But labels fade, get cut off, or just disappear over time.

Do you personally care about keeping that fabric composition info, or does it not really matter once you’re done with the item?

Would saving it somewhere before donating/recycling feel useful, or would it feel like too much effort?

Namaste everyone! I am a sustainable and natural fabric exporter from India. I'll be happy to answer your questions and share my knowledge with you guys.

Hello everyone I am happy to join the group. I am an exporter from India. We make luxury timeless sustainable fabrics with the handloom weavers of India. India's weaving heritage is more than a craft—it's a legacy passed down through generations. We also make fabrics in 80s vintage looms .
I'll be happy to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge.
Glad to be a part of the group.

Here's an idea.

Makers of shoes and bags, please stop using that plasticized flaking garbage on leather. It is the bane of my existence, and I can't be the only one.

Too often the lifespan of an otherwise intact shoe is cut short by this crappy, flaky, rubberized coating that lines the interior. Same goes for the trim on bags. Many leather bags have this synthetic whateverness as trim which is basically the end of being able to use that bag. Yes, I have gone to the trouble of scraping it all off and using Angelus to try and salvage the trim on some leather pieces. But what even is this substance? It sucks and in no way enhances the comfort or breathability of the shoe. Why go to the trouble of making leather goods only to squander their useful life with this junk?

There are SO many pairs of shoes that I would love to still be wearing years later but I can't because I would be leaving a Pigpen-style trail of shoe dandruff everywhere I went. Thrift store stock tells the same story, people are forced to stop wearing perfectly good leather and suede shoes because although the leather is still fine, this crap is the only part of the shoe that went bad.
