39 Washington St, Norwell“Olivia helped me find the perfect ski jacket when it arrived in the store. I tried on a couple at the time of shopping and she was able to help me decide which one was best.”
“This is my favorite thrift spot in the area! The clothes are high quality, and the prices are always reasonable (higher quality goods are pricier, but I always find a great deal). The perfect place to get clothes for work or play.”

318 Lincoln St, Allston“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. ❤️”
“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.”
“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!”
“My experience at Swank Seconds was totally fun. The owner brought me all of the clothes that I told her I needed and we had a great personal shopping experience. She is very knowledgeable about the clothes (shoes, hats accessories as well), their material and the brands as well as helping me decide what looked best. She held the store open after hours for me and as I have lost 20 pounds (and needed smaller size clothing) I found a great summer wardrobe. I'll be back in the fall!”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“What a great place to shop! Friendly staff, cool space, great selection. Check out their stock, refreshed often, plan on spending some time there. 2 floors of great stuff!”

1307 Cambridge St, Cambridge“I came by a few months ago. I never even attempt to shop vintage since I’m on the cusp of regular and plus size (need the width through hips but not the waist). The owner encouraged me to try some jeans on. Came away with some lovely vintage Levi’s in that classic indigo color.”

The prices are good & clothes in fabulous condition. The shop is very quaint & quite beautiful. I just love going there& totally relaxing. It really is therapy for me. Trish is the the quintessential salesperson & friend. Maureen Healy Walsh”

“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!!!”
“My wife and I were so excited to have found BG Galleries and the owner/proprietor Peter. His store is full of wonderful, curious, fantastic and beautiful vintage, new and antique items. And Peter is so knowledgeable about all of his wonderful furniture, lighting, china, crystal pieces, some lovely and some extraordinary.”
“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.”
“My shopping trip - I wanted to purchase a dress with a blue color tag. This was a dress that would be fine for church or work. It was made of Jones of NY. The cashier with the fingers nails painted black - stated that the dress was 15 dollars!!! It was considered a fancy dress - Fancy? I have ten other dress in my closet I purchaed at goodwill that have had the same blue color tag. The clerk ask if I still wanted the dress. I said not at that price!!. Something was not right with this transaction!!! I was being ripped off. What really irks me is that people donate items to goodwill and it costs them nothing.Clean storeEmployees 50 50 some are great - others notColthes not jammed pack on racksMissesNeed more mirrorsNo parking - bus stop in front storeShoe prices are to high”

200 Broadway, Cambridge“i remember the first time i came here i was a preteen in the late 90’s-early 2000’s and it has not changed much! average ish prices for vintage clothes upstairs (meaning not insanely cheap but also not completely over priced and pretentious) boston costume (to right on first floor) which is actually a unique costume shop (not like spirit or party city at all) and $1/pound on the first floor in the back which you can’t beat if you are on a budget like me. great place to go if you need *new to you* clothes or just love the search for the next perfect garment! i’ve found some amazing things over the years ”

402 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge“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..”

118 Newbury St, Boston“The general manager of this store is awesome. The best customer service I have ever experienced! I bought a pair of sneakers for my fiancés first Father’s Day and the manager assured me they would arrive on time for Father’s Day. Turns out the shipping wasn’t going to arrive on time so he personally delivered them for me and completely changed the customer service game. This was my first time shopping at LACED and it was an AMAZING experience. I would highly recommend this store and shout out to the general manager who made my Father’s Day gift possible. Awesome store, awesome selection, and awesome customer service. Go check them out!!!”
