Where To Shop Vintage, Thrift, Consignment & Flea
Pittsburgh is a great hub for thrift, vintage, consignment, and flea market shopping — whether you’re hunting for a perfectly broken-in jacket, a weird little piece of history, or something you absolutely did not need but suddenly cannot live without. Ahead of National Thrift Day, we asked local vintage lovers where they shop and ended up with a much longer list than expected. City Cast Pittsburgh's Megan Harris and Rachel Carlson are talking about the differences, how to curate your own unique style, and Rachel's pro tips for taking home your next best treasure without a dressing room. Plus, why Millennials should've been stocking up on JNCO jeans instead of beanie babies, how Castle Shannon quietly became a vintage mecca, and a crowdsourced list of Pittsburgh's best secondhand spots.
