The vintage and Guatamalan imports have kept this store in business for 20 years and will keep you in style for even longer.
2) Clothing XChange
“Someone’s trash is another person’s treasure” takes on a fashionable meaning at Clothing Exchange. Clothing XChange, located on 21st Ave South, is a boutique featuring recycled and vintage apparel. You can sell or trade your old clothes and buy better vintage clothes. You’ll look like a fashion-focused hipster in no time. Kind of ironic, huh?
