Can I Buy Items Online?
No — all purchases are in-person only. You can browse our catalog online and add items to a shopping list, then visit us to collect and pay at the till. We do not offer online checkout or delivery, because every piece is one-of-a-kind and needs to be tried on and inspected before you commit. As a result, the online catalog is a preview, not a shop. However, if you want a specific piece held until you arrive, message us on WhatsApp before you visit and we will set it aside for up to 48 hours. Because stock moves quickly, reserving in advance is the best way to guarantee a piece you love.
How Does Florida Thrift Help the Community?
We run a weekly Community Kettle feeding initiative, sharing 100+ hot meals weekly with families and homeless neighbours in the Florida area. Clothing donations fund groceries for those meals. We also support 5+ Early Childhood Development centres with nutritious meals, warm clothing and educational supplies for 200+ children weekly.
Why This Matters
Food insecurity affects millions of South African households. According to Statistics South Africa, nearly a quarter of households experience inadequate food access, and our feeding initiative is a local response to that need.
Can I Donate Clothing?
Yes. Drop off clean, quality clothing during trading hours and our team will sort, grade and price it. Because we hand-pick every piece, we accept wearable items in good condition — denim, jackets, tees, knitwear and sneakers all welcome. Proceeds from the sale of donated pieces go directly toward buying groceries for the community feeding initiative. As a result, one bag of donated clothes can fund several warm meals for a family in need. However, please avoid donating torn, stained or unwearable items, because they cannot be sold and create extra sorting work for our volunteers.
How Do I Contact Florida Thrift?
There are several easy ways to reach us, because we want to make shopping and donating as convenient as possible. First, call us on +27 11 672 9669 or +27 72 356 2313 during trading hours.

Our Story — Sustainable Thrift Fashion Since 2018
Florida Thrift is a sustainable vintage and thrift shop in Florida, Roodepoort, Johannesburg. Since 2018, we have rescued quality pre-loved clothing from landfills and given it a second life — making affordable, eco-friendly fashion accessible to all. In other words, every garment you buy from us is one less piece sent to a landfill. As a result, our customers save money and reduce their environmental footprint at the same time.
The Environmental Case for Second-Hand
Textile waste is a growing global problem. The UN Environment Programme estimates the fashion industry is responsible for up to 10% of global carbon emissions, and buying second-hand is one of the most effective ways to cut that footprint. Because fast fashion discards garments after a few wears, choosing pre-loved pieces directly reduces demand for new production.
