Good news shopaholics! Roundabout has launched an online store, making shopping and giving back to the community easier than ever before.
Roundabout is a Beijing community favorite. They’re essentially Beijing’s Salvation Army, with clothes, furniture, new and pre-loved accessories, books, appliances, and basically any household stuff you can think of all under one giant roof. What’s more, profits from their sales go to fund good causes all over China. Think of it as guilt-free shopping.
Roundabout collects gently-used clothing and household items for redistribution to communities in need across the country. Their store in Shunyi houses paintings, sofas, and other secondhand treasures. Many of us who’ve moved houses in Beijing (or did any major seasonal cleaning) have found ourselves calling Roundabout to donate our beloved treasures knowing that they’ll find new homes with people who’ll appreciate them and help raise some money for worthy causes in the meantime.
While their giant warehouse store in Shunyi is still temporarily closed, their online store lets you keep up with the thrifting at home. You don’t even need to leave your bed or put on pants to shop. Scan the QR code below to start shopping.
The new online store’s interface is currently completely in Chinese, but there are enough graphics and photos that anyone with a basic understanding of online shopping can navigate the WeChat Mini-Program pretty easily.
