A festival to celebrate op shop culture as fashionable and funky has opened this weekend in Glen Innes and Panmure and run for 10 days.
Events include workshops, fashion parades and an art exhibition.
Project director Serena Stevenson said globally op shopping is becoming more mainstream.
She said op shops these days look like department stores. Everything is set out, colour co-ordinated. There s an area for crockery, an area for glassware, the beds are made up, room settings that have been designed and made up. Op shops didn t use to do that I am sure, I don t remember them like that.
