I arrived in Boston needing some last-minute items for an event, and I got lucky because this place…read morecame in clutch! Parking: Mostly street parking in the area. Feels: I'm not too familiar with Boston, but I was told this is one of the original areas of the city. There are lots of businesses and apartments nearby, so the neighborhood feels lively. The shop itself is pretty vibrant and spans two floors. They carry a wide range of apparel--from vintage pieces to newer items and even costumes. Customer Service: Awesome. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall: 5 stars. They had exactly what I needed, right when I needed it. If you're looking to refresh your wardrobe on a budget or find some unique costume pieces, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. Tip: Check out their "by the pound" section--you can score some really great deals there.

Yo....Garment District in Cambridge, MA completely flipped the script on me. Why was I expecting…read morethe whole 2 floors to look like a damn thrift dungeon with clothes on the floor??? Instead, Garment D. Is Organized, spotless and straight-up vibey. Two full floors to roam. Hot-pink walls, black-and-white checkerboard floors like stepping into an 80s music video. It's quirky, loud and proudly vintage. Everything's sorted with precision: pants with pants, denim with denim, tops with tops. These folks don't play around. And yeah, the majority of the clothing here is all use. But like I always do- I buy my stuff, take it home (or the cleaners), wash it and it snaps back looking like new. By the way- they do carry some new items- as in not used as well. My daughter and I bought some vintage denims, sweaters and a few other things. Zero mess. Zero stress. 100% unexpected.

Not only do they have a dizzying array of gifts small and large, they also stock anything you need as far as kitchen utensils, candles, greeting cards, charming and unique knick knacks and countless other items too numerous to mention here. Pair that with amazing customer service and salesmanship either by phone from Ms. Angela or in person from Ms. Arielle, the staff is top-notch. (apologies if I mispelled, Ms. Ari;-) Y'all definitely have to come and have a look around. I plan on coming back in the near future for a more leisurely browse through soon

I had asked about the types of stones for a few bracelets I was interested in and they replied with "I don't know.". lastly as I was leaving the store, the girl raised her voice for me to stop and said ." hey you are wearing our bracelets!" and started walking towards me. at which point I turned around and held up my wrist. she was correct, i was wearing two bodhi seed bracelets WHICH WERE MINE. I walked into the store with them on as I OWN them. to the store owners: take caution with your accusatory tone of voice before you mistakenly accuse someone of shoplifting.

There aren't a lot of gift shops left in Chinatown like there used to be, which is sad. A lot of…read morechains and condos have taken over. The area is changing a lot, and becoming unaffordable for small businesses to make it. I took a trip to Chinatown to specifically find cheap decorations for a somewhat "Chinese new year's" themed party we were hosting, and expected to find tons of great stuff around the area for super affordable prices. Sad to say that was not the case. I bought a few items at a shop hidden away in a basement that was a very random place and didn't have a big selection. Then I came here, and the selection was MUCH better, but prices still not nearly as cheap as I'd hoped. When all was said and done, I spent around $70. The cashier who helped ring me up was pleasant and sweet. If I ever need more of these items I'd return here.

This vintage market is a total treasure trove!…read more There is no better cure for the Sunday scaries then perusing trinkets with your besties in the South End. This market was stacked with jewelry, prints, clothing, cameras, vinyls, and so much more. The layout is a little overwhelming and hard to navigate with large influxes of shoppers, however, it does force you to stay put a bit and do a bit more digging in sections. The staff was super friendly, especially the gentlemen who checked me out. I ended up going with this $10 Charlie Brown coloring book page from the 60s which is a great deal!

I came here on a Sunday with my friend. We initially thought they were only open while the other…read morewinter markets were but there's a sign that said they're open every Sunday all year long. My friend is an avid thrifter and she immediately knew this store was legit. A lot of stores claim to be thrifty and vintage but sell mass produced clothing brands. This one had very unique pieces, the items were priced fairly, and among the chaos, there was some order to where things were placed. Some of the sections belong to different people so definitely make your way around the entire store. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. I could spend hours here, but we had other things on our agenda so we window shopped for a bit, but will eventually be back to purchase some items.

Everything is hand-selected by the owners, Mieko and Rook. I bought a Japanese broom and dustpan which I have always wanted, but I was a little worried about the practicality.

They also have a gorgeous online store, and I heard that they are planning some matcha tea parties soon!
