THRIFT on the AVE

What a cute shop!
Came in here on the suggestion of Unilocal and a friend on IG. I will say because the word «thrift» is in the name I thought it was going to be a larger store, with a little lower price point.
That being said I was pleasantly surprised by how many things were in different sizes. Usually it is a crap shoot when you come to a store that’s a little higher priced than a regular thrift store, but less than a consignment store. I was able to find a few dresses in my size (12 – 16) with no problem. The first rack you see when you come in are fun dresses in various patterns and textures, although most of them are polyester, there are some cotton dresses and wool ones as well. To the left there are racks of skirts and special occasion dresses, which are a little pricier, but not too crazy, with most falling into the $ 70 range.
Again, things are nicely itemized, with many different sizes for everyone (think sizes 2 – 20). There are fun tops and skirts. If you’re a fan of prints and pattern like I am, you will love the chance to mix and match what you can. I ended up grabbing a fun soft denim 80’s 2 piece skirt set and a brown corduroy polka dot skirt. Both were 20 bucks which I thought was very affordable. It was so helpful that each item was tagged and had stated what material it was along with the size.
The fitting rooms were cute and it was nice there was one large mirror right outside the fitting room as well as one in the shop. The owner of the store was super friendly and it was a nice vibe overall. I’ll visit again the next time I’m in the D!!!

I didn’t really like the clothing. It’s seems pretty over-​priced, too. I bet this place would be good for someone else, however. When I went, they were having a nice sale. I think everything was half off.

I’ve been frustrated with many used clothing stores/​consignment stores in the Detroit area, which simply aren’t that great. This place is exactly what I was looking for.
It’s clear that they take great care in their store. The space is well laid out — like a boutique, not a thrift store — and the clothing selection is clearly thoughtful. You aren’t wading through racks or bins of clothes to find that one piece that’s worth trying on; they simply sell far more pieces that are worth buying! The prices are reasonable considering the quality.
Bottom line: I’ll definitely be back. Thanks!

This store is small and super cute. It’s basically like one of those small clothing stores you would see downtown but it’s actually located in midtown and sells used clothing. I bought a pair of Steve Madden high heels and a dress for about $ 34 the dress was on the low side of their prices. It was $ 10 and the heels were $ 24. Everything is priced based on the original retail of the product so more expensive brands sell for more. If you’re planning on going out and need a dress this is the perfect place to stop.
