The Conscious Exchange

“after a few return trips this is now my favourite shop in Newcastle. vintage/second hand fashion for a very reasonable price and in wonderful condition. the staff are always really friendly and helpful”

“Went to The Conscious Exchange this week and I have to say it is now one of my favourite shops in Newcastle. They have a great range of clothing and the store itself is SO cute. But i'll definitely be coming back for the people. The staff were so incredibly helpful and made me feel so comfortable when trying stuff on and asking for their opinions. A must visit IMO!!!”

“I love shopping and exchanging in here. I always check the website before doing an exchange to make sure I’m bringing in the right type of items. It saves the hassle of selling on marketplace for me. I usually get a store credit and end up spending it in store the same day as they have lovely items. It’s also fun when you find something you love in your size - like you have found a little treasure. I also do a bit of kid’s exchanging in here which is great since kids grow out of things so quickly! Thank you for all you do to encourage people to shop small, green and/or second hand, as well as being able to dispose of clothes that no longer serve purpose to us.”

“In the current system where op shops are selling fast fashion items for the same price they cost new, its so amazing having stores like this as a option. Knowing you are getting clothes that are great quality, lasting pieces is the best way to go. Plus you can keep updating your wardrobe by selling your old quality items for different ones - what more could a fashionaholic want.”

“Emma has a wonderful shop here with all sorts of unique items and I love searching through them. The quality of her stock and choices she has are amazing. It’s great that all the clothing is not going to landfill and finds itself a new home with you the customer. Her lovely shop is my go to place where I buy all my clothing and I can love it as much as its last owner did. I have been very happy with all my purchases and it is great to have such a find in Newcastle. Well done Emma and her lovely staff.”
