NYC's Best Vintage Shopping

Vintage stores are a godsend because everyone wants to look good in New York City, but not everyone has the budget to purchase luxury clothing, shoes, accessories, and even household items at full price. Second-hand shopping isn’t just more affordable than purchasing new clothing, it’s also better for the environment. And you can also be more original. So go on, kill two birds with one stone (and get that Chanel purse you’ve always wanted…)

Best of NYC Vintage Shopping: Beacon’s Closet (Greenwich Village)

If you’re looking to score a deal, head over to Beacon’s Closet. This locally owned operation is a female-founded company that embraces sustainability and is always filled with mountains of clothes waiting to be taken home and added to your closet. Prices here are cheaper than most NYC second-hand stores, and you’ll find anything from Frye boots to Rag & Bone tops in their eclectic shops. Want to look like a New Yorker without spending a fortune? Beacon’s Closet’s got you covered. Additional locations in Brooklyn. 10 W. 13th St., 917-261-4863, beaconscloset.com
