Tassels are timeless. I’m 99% sure of it. Every season at least one designer features tassels in their collection….you could almost put money on it.

I made my first tassel purchase in 2010 at the Salvos in Kempsey (NSW) and scored a black tassel jacket for $7.50! It’s been a staple in my closet ever since.

There’s so many options for tasseled items, from handbags, leggings, singlets, to vests, shirts and jackets, the sky really is the limit.

On my op shop travels I’m always coming across ‘new’ gems so if you’re keen to be a fringe dweller get to your local thriftstore stat.
