The great things about second hand ...
See the newsletter online here!
 
Dear reader
When reading this newsletter, you might already be up to date with the newest trend. We are celebrating our 50-years anniversary this year and never before have it been so popular to reuse, buy second hand and to recycle.
 
We can truly see this tendency in our shop where especially the younger customers understand the qualities of reusing.
Find both new and second hand items here!
Amongst our items you will find many things which have been elsewhere, either in private homes or at other sellers, which means that they are not brand new. Earlier a lot of people would say that these items are of lower value but today this has changed, especially for the people who seek old, discontinued items.
 

6 reasons to buy second hand items

1. Sustainability!
Well, you probably guessed this one already... But that doesn’t mean it's less true!

Buying new things is bad for the environment. We need to save resources. In order to minimize the environmental impact, we should be part of a sustainable development and buy second hand. This is also the reason why we at DPH Trading reuses cardboard boxes and other kind of packaging when we dispatch orders.
 

2. A lot of things can only be purchased when buying second hand
Many of the things that you can find at our shop are not produced any more. This is due to manufactures deciding to discontinue production of certain items, manufactures who have ceased, or annual items, which are items that were only meant to be produced for a single year, such as Annual Mugs, Easter Eggs, Christmas plates and so on.

3. The quality of older items is often better
Often better materials were used and the manufacturer paid more attention to the details. - Things weren't mass produced in the same way that they generally are today. Due to this, you can often find better quality, as older items were not made of e.g., plastic, polyresin, etc.
 

4. An amazing soul
The history/soul that comes along with old items is generally amazing. Respecting our ancestors and the value they put in their craft, as well as appreciating what generations before us have appreciated and protected, makes so much sense.
 

5. When buying second hand you often find something no one else have
We see a lot of repeats in people's interior designs. By taken something used or antique into your home, you create something special and avoid having the same items as your friends, family members, or neighbors.
 

6. Finding second hand is like a treasure hunt for adults
There is something fantastic about finding hidden treasures. Going on a treasure hunt was always a hit at all children's birthday parties. - But if you ask us, the children's treasure hunt can be easily swapped out with the grown-up version where we hunt second hand items instead of candy and toys.
 
When it comes to searching through thrift stores, hardware stores, flea markets and antique shops, it takes time, patience, and sometimes a creative mind. But considering that you often get a lot for your money, it's often worth the trouble!.
 

Are you in search of how to mix new and old in your interior design?
There is no doubt about the fact that it can be incredible beautiful and charming to mix new and old items. However, it's not always an easy task to mix used and vintage with modern decor. 
 
Luckily there's a lot of inspiration to find. We have for example collected a lot of images on our Pinterest and on our website.
