Thrifting in India feels different right now. It’s built by people who care about the clothes they share and the communities they’re growing. These thrift stores on Instagram aren’t just shops; they are real people opening their closets for you. Each brand has its own mood and its own story, and together they show how creative and heartfelt secondhand fashion can be.
1. Windfall (@ww.windfall)
Windfall is a Kolkata-based thrift brand bringing fairy-core, Y2K, and Indie aesthetic pieces to life. They sell embellished mesh tops, boho modest silhouettes, and vintage Indian prints. Their eco-conscious business model is carving out a space in the sustainable fashion scene.
"We are very conscious of how cruel the animal industry is, so we never sell leather or fur," Tanvy, Founder of Windfall told SheThePeople. "Because, these animals will continue to be exploited even if thrifted versions of animal products keep the trend alive. Moreover, our business cards are also plantable, they have Tulsi seeds in them so even if someone throws it away, it will grow into a plant."

Sundays were my only break, yet I poured those days into this dream, because my love for fashion and belief in this purpose were stronger than my exhaustion. Today, that side passion has become my full-time dream," shared Aathira Kombra, Founder of Thrift Opportunity in conversation with SheThePeople.
She added, "My vision is to make sustainable fashion approachable, stylish, and meaningful. Our community is the soul of this brand, supported by a strong team of women who bring our vision to life with heart and resilience."

They have a handmade spirit that sets it apart, turning simple fabrics into pieces that feel personal.
"What makes my curation or sourcing process unique is, I believe in upcycling and DIYing pieces and giving love to the unloved or just revive the beauty, the beauty is already present in the pieces but i try or like to give it a bit of sass and my own personal touch and the process is unique because only i can make that touch and it makes them special ." Nuyi Tatak, Founder of Nunee Arts told SheThePeople.
