About Us

Hi, I'm Sophie!

AW Thrift began back in 2023, it was originally just a wee project while I was on maternity leave with my second baby, but after spending a bit more time than I should have at local thrift stores I realised that I had an passion for thrifting that I wanted to share.

From children’s toys, clothing through to vintage books, I absolutely loved connecting with likeminded mums and finding new homes for all the nostalgic items I was finding. 

Months later I felt I had outgrown the local stores and I wanted to hunt for more one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, This was when I expanded into importing my items from the United States.

Importing my items from the States has been a huge step for me and my business, it has taken AWT to a new and exciting level. 

I still hand select every item but it now allows me to select rarer, higher quality items and even offer a personal shopping service for some of my clients based in NZ.

I do weekly Instagram lives where I sell all the new items, follow me there for the latest updates, otherwise thank you for checking out my store - I hope to connect with you soon!
