(SPOT.ph) Over the last few years, there's been a growing interest in what is known as "slow fashion"—a movement that, in opposition to fast fashion, values sustainable production, second-hand shopping, and extended use of and care for clothing. The gradual lifestyle shift has seen a rise in vintage shops, thrift stores, and second-hand clothing sales around the country and across the world, especially among young people. There are many local online stores that offer upcycled apparel as well as years-old pieces sourced from all over if you, too, want to introduce the slow-fashion mindset into your own lifestyle.

Though online shopping has grown and become more accessible than ever in the last year or so, there's still something special about the experience of buying clothes and accessories in a physical store. After all, fashion is more than just the clothes we wear—it speaks to our artistic visions, life philosophies, and daily routines. The good news is that shopping vintage and secondhand is very much possible to do the old-fashioned way. In fact, you can give it a try at Future Rare, a vintage clothing and streetwear shop in Quezon City.

Future Rare prides itself on being one of the most affordable streetwear shops around. They offer unique and hard-to-find pieces for as low as P10. Even better, every item in their outpost is priced below P500, so pretty much everything in sight is sure to fit your budget—good luck leaving the store with just one or two purchases. They offer a wide variety of vintage-style finds like graphic tees, sportswear jackets, old-school sweaters, and more.

Take note that they’re only open on selected days each month, so be sure to hit up their online channels to double-check which dates the store will be up and running. Their selection, as with most vintage and thrift stores of the same business model, is constantly changing due to new stocks and quickly purchased pieces. That means each time you visit, you’ll be treated to all-new finds that weren’t there before. The never-ending search is all part of the fun!
