Let’s be honest. Have you ever felt that nagging sensation on a Sunday evening? That gentle, creeping dread about the week ahead. Or maybe it’s a quieter, more persistent feeling – a sense of being adrift, of going through the motions. You’re busy, you’re productive, you’re checking boxes, but a quiet voice inside asks, “Is this it? Is this all there is?”

There’s a certain magic to it, isn’t there? The gentle chime of a bell as you push open the door to a local charity shop. The distinct, not-unpleasant scent of decades mingling on fabric. The quiet thrill of pushing hangers along a packed rail, each one a potential treasure. For years, this experience was a well-kept secret, a niche activity for students, artists, and those on a tight budget. Today, that secret is well and truly out.
