We Found The Coolest Vintage Store In NYC To Up Your Eco-Friendly Street Cred
If you ask a trend setter where to shop for clothes, they will more than likely mention their favorite vintage or thrift store as their go to destination. It is where one will find that rare and treasured item that will become part their streetwear chic style. Thrift stores, or resale shops are the best source for ‘70s and ‘90s fashion showcasing the colors, shapes and silhouettes that are considered timeless. It is also an inexpensive way to create newness, or frequent fashion updates in closets and support an eco-friendly mindset. A resale shop is where you can score high-fashion sneakers, hard-to-find Supreme gear, and luxury pieces including vintage Gucci and Chanel. Lavish finds that were once unattainable for the average consumer are now for sale at a fraction of the price. In addition, shopping recycled fashion automatically adds to your sustainability street cred.
