Thrifted Threads — Local services in Houston

I used to like coming here for the scarves, but they upped their prices since the last time I was here. Very overpriced for the quality, some things have stains on them which I don't feel I should be paying massive amounts of money for. I just tried to go inside and I was told, not asked, to leave my backpack and bag up at the register with them. I find that to be a bit invasive, especially because it's such a small store. If they are unable to monitor people stealing from their tiny store, maybe they should put up cameras? Or have security if it's that bad. But I've been to Michael Kors and Coach with a backpack on and I've never been told to leave it up front. So if a luxury store won't do it, why should I here? I don't know these people, I'm not going to casually leave my $3,000 laptop up front with them, out of my sight.

They didn’t attempt to be accommodating in any way. There are plenty of vintage stores in the area (Buffalo Exchange, Goodwill, Pavement, Leopard Lounge) with better quality and better service. I’d recommend...

Really nicely decorated shop and pretty decent selection of items. There is parking in front of the store. Seats also are available inside for anyone who wants to sit for a bit. They specifically have a workwear section which I don’t see in many thrift stores. The staff is friendly and helpful and there was little to no wait for checkout in the middle of the day. Very quick and easy shopping! They color-organize their items which makes it easy to find things in the color you like, and all prices are marked clearly on the label. They also have a $5 rack which is a great area to find steals! The rest of the items are priced reasonably. They have two fitting rooms inside. Overall good place to stop by while you’re...
