Yesterday's Thrift Shop
Paddington
Updated: May 16, 2026
Yesterday's Thrift Shop in Rosalie Village is a multi-roomed emporium of affordable fashion and retro buys, beautifully laid out inside an old worker's cottage.
One of Brisbane's best op shops, this store has been wonderfully set up with corners and rooms devoted to specific genders and lifestyle needs, making for easy browsing - and at what would have to be the lowest prices around.
Women's preloved apparel includes seasonal clothes, formal dresses, swimwear, shoes, fashion accessories and jewellery - and it's not uncommon to find gorgeous retro pieces on offer.
The small section of men's fashion is well-sorted, making it easy to browse through the range in search of that perfect vintage find.
You'll also find an entire room dedicated to the littlies in your life - think preloved kids clothes and shoes, accessories, children's books and toys, puzzles, games, and sometimes even furniture.
Just off the main entrance, half of the room has been dedicated to kitchenware with shelves and shelves of crockery, glassware, vintage kitchen items, and more.
Head in the other direction - past the women's shoes, through a doorway and down a short corridor - to browse the selection of books, DVDs, and vintage vinyl.
And, across the hallway, is the "discount room" that's always worth checking out for even more of a bargain!
Nice to know - All funds go to The Developing Foundation Inc. a charity providing development and brain injury support assisting children and young people achieve their potential.
Good to know - Street parking nearby is free and there is also a small carpark at the rear, with entry via Beck Street.
Need to know - Yesterday's Thrift Shop also has outlets in Mitchelton, West End, Annerley and Indooroopilly.
