Thrift & Vintage

About

The 1974-founded Tucson-born resale chain, employee-owned through the ESOP transition from founder Kerstin Block, runs its Hillcrest store at 3862 Fifth Ave on the buy-sell-trade model that accepts walk-in clothing sellers over the counter. Cash or store-credit offers on vintage denim, contemporary streetwear, designer labels, accessories and costume pieces overlap with the consignment-style intake at Flashbacks three blocks south. Curated racks rotate through men's and women's casual, workwear, club-going, Y2K-revival and Halloween-costume looks resold at a fraction of first-retail prices. The sales floor carries Levi's, Doc Martens, Carhartt, vintage band tees, designer handbags and seasonal fashion drops that split the same Hillcrest resale-shopper base with Luigi Vera Buy Sell Trade across the neighborhood. The Tokens for Life environmental program donates a nickel per declined bag to local nonprofits, tying the resale circularity model to neighborhood-level giving. Large closet clean-outs covering multi-season wardrobe purges, estate fashion inventories and costume archives get counter-intake appraisal on the spot, with sellers walking out with cash offers or trade credit against the current sales floor.
