What a gem of a store!…read more It's a very curated vintage store. They have a really great collection of jewelry. I was particularly impressed with their ring selection. I have made two separate purchases so far and intend to come back again! Everything is super charming, like the drawer of "little guys" (photos attached!) For in store events they have a DJ playing records, you can shop, listen to music, and purchase a beverage to enjoy while you shop. The staff really care about what they do and it shows in the details.

Awful remodel. I've gone to this goodwill for almost a decade specifically for their dishes and…read moreglassware. It was the best in New England, no exaggeration. Now it's terrible. There's 1/4 of the space there used to be for dishes and glassware. They replaced their tall metal racks with awful low rise shelves. In addition to holding less material it's extremely hard to see anything on the shelves especially the lowest ones. So much of the space that was reserved for china and glassware is now filled with awful IKEA baskets and plastic garbage. I'm very disappointed. I know of many regulars and students who went here for the glassware and China. They're shooting themselves in the foot by removing most of it.

New second hand store in Coolidge Corner! Refreshing rival to Buffalo Exchange with more high end…read moreand designer items like Chanel, Gucci, Burberry, etc., and more mid range brands like Coach, Kate Spade and Marc Jacobs. The super high end bags are in the front behind glass and the midrange bags are dispersed through the store on shelves above the clothing. I really enjoyed browsing here but didn't see anything quite worth buying. I contemplated a Kate Spade makeup bag but the price seemed about the same price as a similar item I saw on sale new at the Wrentham Outlet location several years ago. Hmmm. Loved the music and the way they organized the bags. I'm not much into thrift store clothes so didn't really look much and the clothes but this is worth a stop in for the bags. Very poor customer service- no one greeted me, no one engaged with me in any way and even when I was checking out their flyers and info on selling, I was completely ignored. Staff here seem to hate life and everyone in the store. At least Buffalo Exchange employees greet you when you walk in. I suppose come here if you are looking for more high end items.

Staff was very helpful, organized, and knowledgeable. Every time I've gone I've left feeling like…read moreI've gotten a great deal on a hidden gem! I love their selection, and the attentiveness of the staff.

A ton of people in and out buying selling and thrifting. There were brands from carhartt, TNF, arteryx, Patagonia, Nike, new balance, adidas, vans, timberland and more. Managed to cop a 40th anniversary NB1500 pair made in UK. Prices seemed fair and deals to be had.

We can't wait to go back to see new creations by local artists!

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.
