“Amazing store with that always has something interesting everytime you come in. There is a townly warmth and friendliness radiating throughout the place coming from behind the counter.”
“I love this shop. There really is something for everyone. Furniture, decor, refreshed wardrobe, specialty foods etc. I could spend a whole day browsing each vendor booth. I’m also looking forward to taking a class with Painted Iris Studio.”
“I love Diversity Consignment, they have been so supportive of me as an artist! Every time I go in I want to buy something as a customer. The staff are super sweet, friendly, and on top of things like managing the inventory that I bring in. Don't miss it and keep visiting, there is always something new to discover.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever worn a piece of clothing I’ve bought from Vivant that wasn’t met with an insane amount of compliments. They have some of the most unique and beautiful vintage pieces that are truly one of one. All the staff is knowledgable and friendly, and they have a great selection of jewelry as well as clothes. At this point, half of my jewelry collection consists of their sterling silver goodies, which I always get at a reasonable price. The store itself is like a museum, it is truly just fun to walk around and admire the clothes, flick through their record collection, and browse through the vintage ephemera. And if you need a pair of vintage pants that fit you perfectly, trust me they have them. Plus they are always doing events to engage with the community, bonus points for that. ❤️”
“Wiley, Jessamy, and the whole team at High Energy Vintage are truly the cat's meow. We've used Jessamy's mending services with great success, and picked up some amazing old NES games while in the shop. We've also seen firsthand how discriminating they are with what pieces they'll allow in the store - this is far from a simple second hand store, it's a carefully created shop with much to offer discerning shoppers.”
“This store is incredible!!! Great designer pieces for insanely cheap prices. $5 bin sales with donated profits. The staff is also so friendly & willing to help. Love every experience I have with them!!! I will also be shopping online from their insta”
“The shop is great, lots of great designer clothing. The woman who worked there (I believe her name is Michele) is amazing! She's helpful, pleasant and gives you lots of great advice, she is smart and knows what she's talking about.”
“Absolute favorite funky vintage store. So many treasures and so much charm. We've gotten beautiful items for our home here and some wonderful gifts, including new (not vintage) cashmere scarves last Christmas that were a big hit. Beautiful place run by lovely owner.”
“This place is THE BEST!! I have shopped in consignment stores for years and years and this one tops them all! The owners and workers are fantastic …friendly and so helpful! This store“calls” me when I’m looking for a fun shopping experience!! ??”
“This store is a MUST if you're in the Central Square area. They have a great selection of leather jackets, suit sets from the 60s/70s, accessories, etc. I went at around 12pm on a Wednesday and I was the only person in the store. The woman working there (so sorry I forgot her name) was knowledgeable and extremely friendly and I had a lovely time chatting with her. The prices were decent, with some affordable items and some more pricy pieces but nothing ridiculous like you'd see at other consignment shops in Boston. I'll definitely be back”
“Covet is such a Southie staple! Trendy clothes with a sustainable mission. Highly recommend making this your first stop when you're in need of something new for work, an event, etc., because they have it all!”
“Thank you for making up for this experience. I wish your company the very best. I can not thank you enough for reaching out to me personally. Absolutely great customer service”
“Cool spot. Cool finds. We pop in from time to time to see what’s new. Furniture selection tends to be a little more rundown or beat up than I’d generally go for. But so many other neat things.”
“Super cool little shop. Owner was incredibly warm and helpful in helping me select a rad vintage jacket. I love it. Check her out if you’re in the neighborhood. Parking was super convenient as well.”
“This is the best curated consignment store in Boston by far. Every time I go here I find unique designer pieces, and they are always in excellent condition, which is not always the case at some other consignment stores. Pricing is great. A must visit if you are on Newbury St!!!”
“Would give it 4 start for occasional good inventory. Could use a bit of assistance in organizing and cleanliness as it sometimes appears to be disorganized. The owner could use some help with hiring an assistant especially when accepting new items as she appeared burned out. Parking is available and the location is small but quaint.”
“A favorite neighborhood shop where I always find the best gifts and tend to leave with something for myself as well. If you're looking for the treasures you find when shopping small and local, this is the place. And during the holidays, they have the best ornaments.”
“Stopped by while exploring the downtown. Lots of options with good quality items. The owners were so nice and even though it was closing time, they were not in a rush and allowed everyone to finish browsing and make our purchases. Definitely plan to drop by again.”
“Every time we come to Boston, we make sure to stop by the absolute best store in town, Rick Walkers on Newberry Street. The moment you open the door, your senses are awakened by the rich smell of leather. And, that is just a tease. When you talk to Rick, you feel right as rain. He welcomes you and gives you the good ol' feeling like you've known him for decades. It sure is a good time!”
“Out of the Closet and Shiplap are amazing places to shop! I can find something for everyone and every occasion at great prices. You can find that one of a kind piece of furniture or clothing that you never knew you needed so much!”
“I started shopping here in '88. Those were my Vintage days. Then grunge and finally goth. They had EVERYTHING.I was so young / 19 - 20. I usually went to Oona's during my vintage days. It was costly as a teen though. Garment District was one of the only places I would shop 'cause they always had the correct clothing for my alternative -- grunge--goth days as well as appropriate items for work. That was so many decades ago. I miss it. It's huge & they had anything I wanted. iNo need to go to NYC!”
“Best place to get anything from antiques to junktique in boston. You never know what you'll find there, but you'll always find something you were not looking for.”
“The salvation army in Central square in Cambridge on Massachusetts avenue health helped a lot of people throughout the long years that they have been there in that location. I have never stayed there overnight but I have occasionally had need of a shower which they were able to accommodate and a meal from time and time and a couple times during my laundry when I didn't have any money to do them,, don't let your pride get in the way of getting some help from a place like salvation army!! You need to call at 6:00 a.m. the same day to reserve a bed if they have any if you need a place to sleep for the night. If you're going to be staying there I recommend trying to get a bed as close as possible to staff as possible, do not have any loose belongings on you when you go there as they might get stolen, if we have something of value keep it under your shirt or coat or sweater and tie it to you securely before you go to sleep..”
“My partner and I stumbled upon this place randomly and what a gem it is! It has the perfect mix of vintage and retro along with small modern day business finds. We had so much fun venturing through all of the various stalls and being reminded of our childhoods. We also walked away with so many great finds! This is our new favorite stop. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”
“The Boston General Store is a great store to visit. It is like many other stores with "general store" or "country store" in their name in that it has a variety of products for your home. They have stuff for the kitchen, bathroom, and other miscellaneous items like art supplies, tools, and candles. They also carry locally sourced goods like Vermont made jams. A lot of their products seem to be of good quality and they seem to focus on sustainability. For example, they are able to refill soap dispensers to avoid the waste of buying new ones. They also have a very nice selection of quality kitchen knives. If you can't drop by the store, they have a website where you can order many of the same products you see in store. I still recommend going in person for the experience.”
