“Karen is a very hard working awesome personable woman. She runs this store & does a great job. Very organized, and has whatever you need. Anything you could ask for.”
“i stopped in to find myself a gift for a milestone. i’d been stalking their website for a while and finally decided to visit in person, which i highly recommend because the in-store selection seemed even bigger. i worked with someone who was at the register and also makes the jewelry (i didn’t catch her name) and she was so lovely, helpful, informative, and clearly passionate about her craft. as a student on a small budget, i’m often afraid to go into jewelry shops because of budget constraints, but i felt completely comfortable here. i really appreciated that all the items had prices listed in a very aesthetic way for full transparency, and that trying things on was encouraged (and they clean everything after each use!). i ended up leaving with a gorgeous pair of vintage sterling silver hoops. overall it felt like such a warm, personal experience with real community vibes, and it felt important to support a small, woman-owned business (sorry if i got that wrong). i’ll definitely be back, and i think it’s the perfect place for anyone visiting the area or for local folk like me who want to treat themselves to something special.”
“This is a really fun place to go if you want to browse or find some unexpected treasures! They have a mix of vintage and a few modern pieces too. I've found buttons for sewing, troll dolls and more! The people running the establishment are also quite nice and helpful. The pricing is decent and fair.”
“I have been coming here ever since I was playing sports as a kid.
They have equipment for all sports just about.
Baseball, softball, hockey, field hockey, snowboarding, skiing, golf, football and I'm sure there's more I just can't think of.
Their staff is knowledgeable and friendly, their prices are fair and the ability to sell them the outgrown gear, to get new equipment is a really cost effective way to support kids sports (it's not just store credit, they also offer money but generally I use the funds for better gear).
If you are in need of equipment and are on a budget or just want to support a local business, I would highly recommend play it again in South Burlington 5/5”
“This is a well curated store with very pretty things. Most of the items tend to be more traditionally feminine. They are clearly well cared for and thoughtfully selected.”
“I have stopped in here on multiple occasions to be met with such friendly faces and sweet conversations. I have always had a positive shopping experiences, finding curated items in great condition. There is a wide array of clothing ranging in styles making it easy to shop for everyone. The store is well organized and kept. This is the best resale shop in the area hands down! Shoutout to the owner for being a gem :)
With continued support-
Hailey”
“Went in to correct a recent cut (before moving into the area) - this will be my new place! Good atmosphere and people, plus Johanna was so good at reading through my nebulous request and gave me the exact style I wanted ✨ Thank you!”
“My son wanted something funky for senior prom. He came in with a vision of a purple suit in his mind. This fabulous clerk listened to his description, and then he searched all over the store to pull various options to make that happen. Everything was a very reasonable price, too!”
“Lovely little consignment shop with a good variety of all clothes and accessories. Mainly women’s clothes but also a small section of men’s, kids and maternity.”
“Cool thrift store with alternative vibes. I've been here quite a few times. Some of the pieces, specifically the jewelry is quite overpriced. With that though, I highly enjoy sifting through the clothes. Also, there is a very nice jean selection.”
“Come for the curation, not for prices.
Like others have said, the prices are not comparable to other cheap thrift stores that run on donations. There's vendors who then probably pay the actual store, so a couple of layers of middlemen who eat into the price.
Older gap t-shirts are like $50. You're paying for curation, not for the actual value of the item. My boyfriend wanted to throw in all of the vendors only have about a rack and a half for men.
That being said: the designer selection is GENEROUS, and gorgeous. I've only come in 2x, but it's the immediate place I go and where I find the most value.
They have high quality designer pieces at prices that compete against many different online stores, and they clearly have them sectioned off instead of intermingled with everything else.
I would not personally purchase non-designer items here for myself, but it's obvious everyone puts in a lot of effort and care into the store.”
“I'm lucky that Barge is in Burlington and not where I live, because I'd struggle to not spend my paychecks here! Go for the expert curation - from vintage decor to choice clothing and fashion and even local artist pieces. I bought way too much and am going back again before I leave town. Until next time, Barge!”
“I enjoy coming here just to peruse the little treasures in the back. Always only ever met with friendly staff! I do wish there were more trinkets and baubles for sure.”
“I found this old peace sign at the Junktique’s Ratmission building and brought it home and added an incandescent light strip to
bling it up. 5 bucks and a little bit of ingenuity adds an old school vibe and makes me happy every time I look at it.”
“Really great spot! Tbh still a bit expensive on some clothes in my opinion. But the ladies that work here are fabulous, super helpful, and kind. Helped my mother and I multiple times finding certain sizes and clothing types”
