These days, it’s so hard to find trustworthy places to be your source of vintage fashion. So, I’ve done it for you guys. Kick back and enjoy these sites that I gotten together for everyone to check out. I’m also going to post a poll at the bottom of the post for everyone to vote on your favorite vintage shop from the post.
Urban Exchange Project (Philadelphia, PA) is a vintage shop of self proclaimed “name brand 2nd hand”. With an impressively involved and engaged community, they have fostered a deep connection with their consumers. This shops also rewards the loyalty of their customers exclusive insider texts and deals when you sign up for the email updates. And trust me, with a shop that has merchandise this fire, you’ll want all of the updates possible.
They also have a great blog to keep everyone up to date with the most relevant stories in vintage and what’s currently in style. Check out some of their post to see what and what not to wear this upcoming fall, as well as some of the best styles from this past summer. Lastly, possibly the most interesting part of the website is the store behind the origin of the foundational storefront in Fishtown, PA, and how the shop as a whole cam about.
Here2CoolStuff (Philadelphia, PA) is a favorite of mine personally. With a strong connection with customers through an immersive website that’s regularly updated with events involving the shop and anything creative in general. Concerts performances, poetry, and, of course, a very particular style of desirable vintage clothing make the community of the shop larger than one would expect. With such a large community, a diverse style of clothing is bound to follow.
With styles like these, its easy to understand why I’ve come to love this shop so much. Located on south street, there’s always plenty of activities to get involved in and this shop is definitely one of the best of them all. Featuring plenty of throwbacks such as loose denims, unorthodox patterned print on the pants, stripes to set off an otherwise neutral outfit, or an edgy blend of casual chic, the styles to create and build upon are seemingly endless.
Red White & Blue (West Berlin, NJ) is one of the best and most regularly updated thrift shops in the local area. But surprisingly, unless you “know someone who knows someone”, most people are relatively unaware of its presence. But don’t worry, I’m letting the entire Throne of Thrift fam in on the secret. With bins that are added to daily and hundreds of various styles to choose from, it is literally the one-stop-shop for all things vintage.
Possibly, the best part about Red White and Blue is the deal and specials that they always have for their customers. Discounts that are attached to themes such as daily deals or Senior Citizen Day make their loyal customer base come to back to shop. Not only being the best in the product they sell and the pure quantity of it, but also besting any other thrift shops in their prices as well makes them my most trustworthy place to go for vintage apparel.
