This store has something for EVERYONE! One of the best spots in CT/in New England for curated second-hand, vintage and overall sick clothing. There’s a variety of hand-picked apparel and accessories that the owners bust their asses to find and curate. Nothing is better than stopping in and always finding something unique and different! The owners, Mettao and Kevin, are always kind and willing to give their honest opinion on what looks best with what. 10/10 could not recommend more for the savvy, experienced thrifter or the baby beginner who is just starting to dip their toes into what is a vast ocean of the second-hand and vintage community. xx
