The thrifting culture in Stellenbosch is thriving among the student community. This is according to Leani Breedt, organiser of the Dorp Street and Rooiplein markets, which are popular among students and locals. These markets facilitate stall owners who advocate for sustainability, community spirit, and affordable clothing solutions, said Maryke Visser, owner of a thrifting stall called Maryke’s Treasures.
