Interesting spot in GR! I've been to this consignment shop a few times now and have been slightly…read moredisappointed both times I've gone. Each time I've gone it seems that the clothes selection is for the wrong season. Going in July I was expecting a lot of tank tops, sundresses, and skirts. What I found was a lot of sweaters, pants, and long sleeve shirts. Prices were high as well. The store is organized very well by color and size which makes it easy to look for certain pieces. The staff were friendly as well! If you're looking for season specific pieces or cheaper pricing this is not the place for you.

This is a very large thrift store. I made it through two floors of goods before calling it a wash,…read morethough. The location was easy to nav to and we were able to snag free street parking. The entrance leads to stairs to enter the space but I did note there was a handicap ramp for those in wheelchairs. The main floor was mostly Christmas stuff during our visit, along with incredibly outdated home goods, knick knacks, toys, sporting equipment, etc. We didn't see much that tickled our fancy, so we headed upstairs to see what goodies await. We were surprised to see even more furniture, plus some shoes, dresses, a very small selection of men's and women's clothes, books and kid's clothes. This would be a great spot to find a vintage kitchen table, hutch, dresser, sewing machine or dining room set. Everything seemed pretty aged. It wasn't a thrift shop with much to offer from the last 10-20 years, depending on the category. We realized on floor two that there was nothing here for us, so we skedaddled. If you're into vintage stuff, you may enjoy this thrift shop. If you're looking for newer/more modern stuff, you may want to skip this one. We thought prices were high for the age and condition of everything being offered.

I stopped in on a whim with my step daughter this past Saturday afternoon. Both of us love vintage shops and this one did not disappoint. They have a wonderful selection of clean, well maintained, and lovingly cared for used items. I can tell the staff has a real love and knowledge of vintage pieces. They display things in clever ways that draws you in and makes you appreciate each item even more. Example: They have this huge tower of old cowboy boots right when you walk in that is especially cool. An employee welcomed us and gave lots of suggestions and encouragement to us and other customers in finding things around the store. My step daughter found the perfect dress and the friendly staff member even offered to reinforce the buttons on it. Its while we waited for her to do that, I started taking pics of the fun decor and impeccable displays (in anticipation of posting it for this review- LOL) That's when the hair stylists working off to the side snapped that they don't allow pictures in the store. While there wasn't any signage stating this policy, I 100% understand why this would be the case if I was a just trying things on for a joke and not purchasing anything. However we were indeed purchasing a dress and the pictures of the store were intended to be shared to show cool the place is. I am still posting one of the pictures here and commenting on the conversation so others are aware of this apparent policy.

Vintage stores are going to vintage store. But Second Vibess (two s's, because why not) zigs where…read moreeveryone else zags. This clothing shop repurposes old clothing and reworks it into one-of-a-kind pieces. Many of the items have been upcycled and made to be unique. This place also sell curated thrifted items that have been untouched by time. If you are a vintage clothing aficionado and/or someone who appreciates creative clothing, then this shop is for you. Everything about Second Vibess is carefully considered and placed just so. That's why I love this store -- you can tell that a lot of thought has been put into every single item that's displayed. The clothing is arranged in an artistic way around the store, interspersed with fun accessories and artwork. The shoe section has just the right number of shoes, arranged neatly. There are live plants everywhere, and some of them have names (like Keanu Leaves). This is lovely store to walk around and explore. This is mostly a women's clothing store. In fact, I don't recall seeing any clothing for men or kids. But that's OK, because sometimes, women just need a store where they can find eyelet prairie blouses, apron dresses and Mrs. Roper muu muus. This is that place.

She even held out a piece to help me recreate something similar when I find the right scarf. When I walked in the door I saw a dress hanging on the wall that was nearly identical to my wedding dress also made by Gunne Sax. Mine had a squared collar. Cute shop with lots of vintage and reworked pieces. Super friendly and helpful staff. I didn't find what I was looking for. Store has limited hours so call or check online if you are walking from the hotels downtown. It's a bit of a hike but cool shop!

I've been to Elevated several times now and have really enjoyed my experiences there. I don't…read morealways love antique markets/warehouses as they can be quite congested and claustrophobic - not Elevated! The aisles are wide, the booths are nicely appointed, and there is lots of great natural light from all the windows. I love that they are arranged by "streets" with numbers for each booth, making it easy to remember where you saw something. There are lots of fun things to check out - I love the reading room that also features art from local artists. They have the ability to rent a shelf vs. a whole booth, which I thought was really cool. Possibly the best part - the free popcorn! I also really like the fun decor like the board game wall. Parking is ample on the street in front or the free lot across the street. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Elevated.

I've been going since late 2022/early 2023, back when they were just a vintage shop (with a cute cat) at their old spot further down Division. I first came across them at a market and bought a shirt (still probably my favorite shirt in my collection) but at the time they were pretty under the radar, so I forgot the name. Almost a year later, an old friend complimented that same shirt, which led to me telling the whole story. I was like, "all I remember is they sold spoon rings," and said friend immediately goes, "sounds like Otono on Division." Ofc I went there that weekend, and sure enough, that was them. Been a fan ever since. At this point, a good chunk of my wardrobe is from them. It's been really cool seeing how much they've grown and evolved, especially with the addition of the café. I think it's such a hit and fits their vibe perfectly. The owners are also super personable and the staff are always kind. I added a few pics from past visits, but I definitely recommend checking them out. And if you get lucky, they sometimes have cookies and other treats from Cou Cou Bakehouse when there are leftovers from her pop-ups!
