The Savi Story

Savi started with a road trip and a lot of op shops. During a trip down south, we decided to stop at every op shop we could find along the way — but tracking down shops in unfamiliar towns was harder than expected.

Somewhere along the way, we stumbled across a pair of quirky, hand-painted Doc Martens that were absolute perfection — except they didn’t fit either of us. We had to leave them behind, wishing there was a way to let another op shopper know about the treasure we’d just found.

That night, sitting around the campfire, we talked about how often this happens — missing shops, missing sales, and leaving great finds behind because there’s no easy way to share that knowledge.

“That’s when the idea
for Savi was born.”

Our Mission

Op shops are everywhere — but they’re not always easy to find. Many are tucked away on suburban streets, hidden inside shopping centres, or just far enough apart to make planning frustrating.

Searching online for “op shops near me” only brings up op shops — leaving out tip shops and second-hand stores. And when you’re travelling, op shopping in an unfamiliar area feels like starting from scratch.

“Our goal is simple: to make buying
second-hand the default choice.”

By bringing op shops, tip shops and second-hand stores together on one map, Savi helps make second-hand shopping more accessible, efficient, and enjoyable — whether you’re a seasoned op shopper or just starting out.

Built for Real Op Shoppers

Savi isn’t about chasing trends or telling you how to shop. It’s designed to support the way people actually op shop.

  • Discover op shops you didn’t know existed — including smaller shops not on Google Maps
  • Find hot spots where multiple stores sit close together
  • Plan smarter routes to save time and fuel
  • Explore new suburbs or states with confidence

Whether you op shop to express your personal style, find quality brands at a fraction of the price, or just love the thrill of the hunt — there’s something in Savi for everyone.

Never Miss an Op Shop Sale

One of the most common frustrations for op shoppers is missing out on sales. With popular items moving quickly, shopping sales is one of the best ways to get genuine bargains — but they’re easy to miss if you don’t know when or where they’re happening.

Savi notifies you whenever op shops near you are running sales. If a sale is happening within a 10km radius, you’ll get notified — making it easier to plan ahead and shop at the right time without constantly checking social media or relying on luck.

Whether you op shop every weekend or just occasionally, Savi is here to help you explore more easily — save money, shop sustainably, and enjoy the hunt a little more.
