Great Eastern Trading Co — Local services in Cambridge

Must go to spot if you’re in the Boston area!!!

I don’t usually write reviews but after my phenomenal experience this weekend I just had to!

I’ve been to this store multiple times before and have always picked out something awesome to bring home with me! I visited again a few days ago and as always, the staff was wonderful! The person working, Raphael (sorry if I spelled your name wrong!) was so helpful and really went above and beyond for my fiancé and I!

My fiancé picked out multiple deadstock button ups and I picked out the wedding dress of my dreams: a gorgeous bias cut 1930s gown. I am so beyond thrilled!

This store has always been a go to spot for me whenever I’m in Cambridge. I seriously cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. Every time I go, I just have so much fun. Even if you’re not looking for a gown like I was, there’s truly something there for everyone! Vintage tees, fur and leather coats, suits, accessories, literally everything!!

Given its long history, beautiful curation, and passionate staff, it’s a truly...

One of the three great used clothing store trifecta in Central Square. Great place to pick up so called "vintage" clothing, but without having to pay the pretentious hipster curated price typically associated with those kinds of shops. Don't expect $50 incorrectly dated wool blazers with patched holes, the stuff here is in good shape for a legitimately low price, and covers a much wider range of periods from (an admittedly smaller collection of) cool 40's and 50's stuff, to a huge variety from the 60's and 70's. We're talking Brady Bunch lapels and collars.

The selection changes hugely with the seasons, as well as having a generally quick rate of turnover. For instance, in the summer they bring in a lot of original old Hawaiian shirts, and in the fall they have a good costume type selection. So between paying $5-15 an item and the regular refreshment in stock, it's very much worth it to drop in regularly and see what they might have. It's a ridiculously unique place, and a legitimate local...

COMPLETE GEM! This place is a wonderland of eye candy - go for your any-era-appropriate needs of every kind. Vintage steals & costume deals are tucked in every corner. I'm prepping for an 80's themed wedding (you read that right!) and since my original (amazing, vintage!!) frock (from here of course,) may not be finished at the tailor in time, I returned last night for a backup....and left with not 1 but 2 amazing dresses, a gold lurex pantsuit thing, and an embroidered puffed-sleeve cropped jacket. WATCHOUT 80's WEDDING WEEKEND, HERE I COME. Seriously though, check it out - you'll...
