I believe the answer is:
tat
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">shabby articles</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(a bunch of shabby items)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for tat that I've seen before include "Shoddy items" , "Tawdry stuff" , "piece of needlework?" , "Cheap junk" , "Make lace; tasteless stuff" .)
