The shopaholic who hasn’t bought a single brand new bit of clothing in three years - and saved £20k

A fashionista shopaholic hasn’t bought a single brand new bit of clothing from shops for three years - and says it has saved her £20k. Iso Neville, 24, vowed to only buy second-hand in 2019. She also planned to ditch Boohoo for brands such as Burberry – but without paying designer prices.

Fashion-lover Iso spends hours every week scouring charity shops, vintage markets and online marketplaces to catch the best deals. One of her top buys was a £1,500 Burberry trench coat she bagged for just £100 from a vintage flea market. She reckons she has saved £20,000, compared to buying all her second-hand designer goods new.

Savvy Iso spends up to £150 a month on designer high end second hand clobber. She reckons that's less than when she was buying new every week from fast-fashion giants like Boohoo and Pretty Little Thing - and says she'll never go back.
