The phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure" holds true to this day. These words are especially prevalent throughout NYC. East coasters seem to have a mentality unlike any other. New Yorkers are not only significantly environmentally conscious, but also fashion-forward in many aspects of the word. Consignment shops impact our environment, economy, and style in a positive way. Here are some retail consignment stores that always seem to deliver.
1. Buffalo Exchange
From wholesale pieces being sold at discounted prices, to vintage clothing, and brand new, never worn items Buffalo Exchange is a hard store to leave without bags full of purchases in hand. The multiple locations throughout New York make this store easily accessible and give customers a solid opportunity to buy and sell fashion.
2. Second Time Around
Second Time Around is an upscale consignment store with multiple locations throughout the city. Score anything from the newest Chanel bag to a vintage pair of Manolos. Following 2TA's instagram is enlightening, yet dangerous, especially if you're a sucker for great deals on designer fashions.
3. Cure Thrift Shop
This charming storefront is home to some great finds. You may have to search a bit to find just the right pieces, however once you put on that unique faux fur coat that was tucked in the back of the downstairs area, you'll be forever thankful for this consignment/thrift shop.
4. Crossroads Trading Co.
Right down the block from one of the Buffalo Exchange locations, Crossroads is a great next stop for a day of consignment store hopping. Everything from eclectic pieces to your new favorite basic white tee can be found here.
5. Michael's The Consignment Shop for Women
Michael's is yet another upscale consignment shop for women who get a thrill out of a good designer deal. Christian Louboutins are constantly up for grabs and along with designs from Valentino, all marked at unbelievable prices. The cute atmosphere of the shop makes it one of the best in the city.
