Buffalo Exchange seems to have a mix between clothes that are just 6 months out of date, and clothes that are hella 90s. I saw a pink leopard print skirt here once. They also have a huge selection of vinyl combat boots, perhaps to appease the Burning Man crowd or the tourists of Haight Street. Some treasures, surely, can be found, but will require lots of effort to dig through the rest of the stuff that resembles a sales rack at TJ Maxx. Not that there’s anything wrong with TJ Maxx, but I don’t want to pay $15 for a Forever 21 sweater with a hole in it. Go online and order something half-off on the Urban Outfitters website. It will probably be cheaper, even with the shipping fee, and it at least it will be new. Buffalo Exchange seems to miss the point of thrift shopping. If I wanted something new, I’d get it new and pay the price for getting it new. I don’t want to get something used, pay for it like it’s new, and also have it be decidedly not-cute. Vintage shoppers, go elsewhere!
