The Good Shop
The Good Shop is Mauritius’s home-grown thrift network, reselling donated clothing, books, toys, furniture and household goods across five branches island-wide. Why it matters: launched in December 2018 as a not-for-profit social enterprise, it has kept over 100,000 items out of Mauritian landfills, built a team where more than a third of staff face barriers to employment, and channels 10% of net reserves into scholarships for students from vulnerable communities. Dig through the racks for vintage textiles, secondhand furniture and home decor at a fraction of retail prices, with fresh stock arriving daily. Tip: follow their Facebook or Instagram for quarterly inventory sales, when discounts stack even deeper.
